You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Part one of our energy-efficiency house overhaul is complete! We've removed our gas cooktop, ducted gas heating, evaporative air conditioning, and the electric hot water tank. Replaced with an induction cooktop, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, and an energy efficient heatpump. Next up: solar!

You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

As a side note to this: If the cops can kill you because they believe you have a gun, then you do not in fact have the right to bear arms.

I don't want you to be ashamed to be a white American. The history of white Americans who sided against whiteness and acted in solidarity with others has been suppressed as ruthlessly as the history of violence.

At this point in the history of our country, I am very ashamed to be a white American! I don’t want to be mistaken for a thug who is so brain dead they convince themselves that they are better than anyone else because they are white!
