Devastating scenes of piled-up cars in #Valencia, #Spain today after yesterday’s historic flooding. A year’s worth of rain fell in a few hours with a peak of 500mm.

Make him go to the White House and thank Biden in person. What an ass.

DeSantis seeks energy-saving rebates he publicly rejected as woke. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2023/12/18/desantis-seeks-energy-saving-rebates-in-apparent-change-of-heart/

L'humanité regarde son propre effondrement, froidement, sans rien changer à part quelques activistes que l'on traite de terroristes ou d'extrémistes.

C'est consternant...

What every climate scientist will tell you:

Record-breaking extreme weather events of 2023 are expected at this level of warming.

The impacts on people are more severe than expected.

To keep things from getting worse, we need to stop burning fossil fuels and speed up adaptation.

It's time to taste the rainbow, folks.

Consider "Hey Black people! Don't be on Twitter! They hate you more!"
Vs "Let's make the Fediverse better!"

Consider "Hey Black people! Don't vote GOP! They hate you more!"
Vs "Let's undo the systemic racism in the Dem party!"

Consider "Hey African countries! Don't trust Russia and China! They hate you more!"
Vs "Let's start truly partnering with Africa!"

If you were Black, you would see through the self-serving message, so it's strange that folks don't get that Black folk see through it too.

A Republican got offended I called the founding U.S. citizens "colonizers,"—rebuking me that “the original 13 colonies were beacons of freedom.”

I asked him to repeat that part...slowly. Apparently "colonies" is respectful—but calling those who built colonies "colonizers" is not.🤔

Also, I'm sure the enslaved, Native Americans, women, and anyone not a WASP wealthy land owner would likely disagree with that whole "beacon of freedom" part.
