I love how we don't have money for healthcare, science or fixing poverty.
So, you agree? We should fire Trump for being a disgusting person?
Undocumented people get nothing from purposely registering to vote but an unwanted interaction with the government. That's why there are so few instances of non-citizen voting. Think about it, MAGA. Take all the time you need.

Not quite how I imagined the green transition would go, but I suppose it is one way to "keep it in the ground"

Iran vows to destroy Middle East water and energy facilities if US attacks power plants

Tehran’s response to Trump’s threat signals a potentially dangerous escalation as both sides menace sites relied on by millions

Do you understand why Trump has lifted the oil sanctions that were punishing Iran, the country he’s bombing, and Russia, the country that’s helping it?

Do you understand why Trump is sending 5,000 Marines to sail through the Strait of Hormuz while complaining that none of our friends and allies will help him reopen it?

Here's the whole explanation.

"When Americans pay $3.50 for a gallon of gas at the pump instead of the $2.80 they paid a month ago, it is akin to the government imposing a 70-cent-per-gallon tax. The same goes for higher prices for home heating oil and fossil gas. They’re the same as a major tax increase.

The big difference is that instead of the money going to the government, as it would with a tax, it’s going to the oil and gas industry—Trump’s campaign contributors."

"the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS" -- Trump

Once again, Trump makes clear his intention to commit war crimes:

Rule 50. The destruction or seizure of the property of an adversary is prohibited, unless required by imperative military necessity.

Rule 54. Attacking, destroying, removing or rendering useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population is prohibited.

We must #impeach Trump

This is who he is. A petty, vindictive sociopath who doesn't care who he tramples over. Rotten to the bones. Soulless. Amoral. A disgusting specimen. The stain of his tenure will last long. Remove him. Jail him. Expose him for exactly what he is.

In many respects “science” is what it means to be “modern” and, in the 20th century, science would be inextricably entangled with all the hopes and fears of modernity, but how should we see science in our own “post-modern” world?

Comparisons with the Reformation might help
