You shouldn’t have to wear safety rated glasses to protest, but I wouldn’t go to one without them at this point. If you normally wear glasses and they’re not rated an impact can shatter them and cause even more damage than not wearing them at all would have.
Plenty of people will be protesting in Seattle, represent your own city. It may not get as much media coverage, but it can motivate people in your local community and that’s the kind of movement we really need across the country.
You don’t even have to be that smart to be the US President, that’s what your advisors are supposed to be for. That was evident in Trump’s first term when he surrounded himself with at least semi competent people. When you surround yourself with a bunch of sycophantic morons, this is the type of shit you get. Not to mention the whole revenge tour thing.
Can’t even get it up in this economy smh
The mainstream has been bought and paid for, the revolution will not be televised.
That ship may have already sailed before this administration took over, but my hope was that society could restructure itself in a way that would still sustain human life.

The article was not paywalled, also I think the term we like to use for this phenomenon is “brain drain.”
The climate research community has been gutted by what’s happening with the US government. NOAA and NWS collected some of the most important and valuable data in the world for this and now that’s pretty much over. It will take decades to undo what has been done in only a few months and I’m being hopeful.
And “we’re fucked” is putting it lightly. On that note, check out American Resiliency on YouTube if you want some helpful information on how to get ready!
