I think you guys are quite alright off with pres. Trump...we have Jacob Zuma. Junk status declared this week...beat that 😝
Although JZ probably won't ever get to Robert Mugabe's intensity...so we good.

The easiest way to dread is to let it go. The hardest way to dread is to let it go.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'm just glad to be living in a progressive state. Our governor committed California to sticking to the Paris Agreement. A bunch of other states are as well.

I was glad we walked away from Paris. The deal has no teeth. It's voluntary and we're almost at the level (1.5 degrees C) agreed to stay beneath.
Sadly, it was my hope that Paris would be set down as the bad idea it is, forcing legislators to actually come up with a real greenhouse-gas reducing plan with benchmarks and enforceability.

What are your thoughts on the whole Nazi thing, Kat?
Personally, I'm fine with anyone who takes part in a public march involving Nazi imagery losing their jobs, their friends or their families. I've heard people say that the better approach would be to not give them the oxygen of publicity but I'm always hearing people complain about positive activism or counter-activism not getting any coverage so you can't have it both ways. For what is essentially a call to action, acknowledgement and a (justifiably pissed off) response is reasonable.

Emmmm.... Kill them all!!! I doubt the Nazi folk wouldn't disapprove to killing their own kind with proper brainwashing? But on a serious note.... Love all people. Understand that there are folk that were raised to be completely fucked in the head. Be it Nazi, KKK... the worst of humans have the ability to be brainwashed too. MKultra (CIA experiment) wasn't fully realized.... In other words... Most people suck

I don't like the public shaming aspect of it all. Or rather, how people tend to pile-on. It can be an unpopular viewpoint (especially in times of terrorism etc) but it's important to have empathy past the point of someone learning their lesson, and it's important not to lose your own principles in response to principles you find abhorrent.

Horrible isn't it. I'm embarrassed to be a citizen of the US at this point.

What does it say about the state of things when all it elicits from me is a raised eyebrow and a shrug to say I'm not surprised at all.
