Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It would be really nice if for once someone, anyone, would just blurt out, “Shut the fuck up, you asshole.”
Nicole Wallace breaks down every insult and abusive remark Trump has made to female journalists in the last few weeks.
“We’re either going to normalize this and usher in an era of unprecedented misogyny, or that press corps is going to act as one and say no more”

Instead of playing or learning, countless children caught in armed conflict are forced to watch their kindergartens, schools, and homes come under attack, losing everything familiar to them.
No child deserves to grow up in such conditions, and no parent should ever have to witness it.

Recall the timeline - a Twitter feed was just a Twitter feed. What has allowed political debate to be so debased? And, humanitarian principles to be denied. How is recovery possible from the disgraceful place the world “Leaders” reason is the discourse? The iPhone, social media? Intellect poof gone!

Could the Admirals do a Citizens Arrest on Trump? Or anybody? I expect the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling means no. Just asking if there’s a loophole somewhere?
