Harris's answer to the single #climate question was mediocre, but I know her climate position is strong.
Trump didn't answer the question at all, and I know his climate position is dangerous to the planet.
But the key issue in this election is democracy versus fascism, and only one candidate is for democracy.

I know I need to ignore the polls and pundits, but that fact that this race is even marginally close highlights that there is a cancer eating away at the heart of America.I know I need to ignore the polls and pundits, but that fact that this race is even marginally close highlights that there is a cancer eating away at the heart of America.

This is new, extremely dangerous territory.This is new, extremely dangerous territory.
A private company (for whatever reason, right or wrong) is defying the laws of a country in which it operates, by virtue of its control of a service within that country.
Imagine if a foreign national owned your water utility and refused to abide by the water-quality laws of the US.

A reminder: Despite the growing threat of #climatechange, progress IS being made. It needs to be made faster, but here's a graph that shows where we'd be with no action, with current actions and pledges, and how much more is needed to reach the minimum...A reminder: Despite the growing threat of #climatechange, progress IS being made.

He's withdrawing from battleground states ballots and throwing his support to Trump but wants people to vote for him in the other states where he intends to STAY on the ballot. He believes delusionally, he could still win the presidency if the electoral college ties (???); and his rationale for supporting Trump is irrational, like most of what he says.
It's all just cray, cray. -

Wow. Scientific American blasts SCOTUS rulings:Wow. Scientific American blasts SCOTUS rulings:
"Science is dismissed and disdained in this war on reality."
"technically incompetent, in some cases corrupt, politicos in robes with power over matters that hinge on vital facts about pollution, medicine, employment and much else."
"In rejecting facts to please their political party—and their patrons—the justices of the Court’s majority have broken their oath, made to both the Constitution and the American people."
