Reporting Highlights

  • Earth Day Promise: In 2022, President Joe Biden announced a new effort to protect old forests, which are key to the fight against climate change. But it hasn’t made much of a difference.
  • Logging Continues: The Bureau of Land Management has allowed timber companies to cut these forests at a faster pace since Biden's executive order than in the decade that preceded it.
  • Legal Battles: Conservation groups keep suing over what they claim are rushed timber sales, and they keep winning — but under a Trump administration, they may be unable to keep up.

For everyone wondering why Dem turnout was so low, it's shit like this and him bragging about domestic fossil fuel use while ignoring he's smashed fossil fuel production records that trump set.

Moderates only sounds like a good idea if you don't pay attention to what they actually do.

And unfortunately for us, Dem voters are a hell of a lot more likely to pay attention than republicans.

So if we want to win, it's not enough to be better than Republicans, we need to run candidates Dem voters actually agree with and want to vote for

I keep saying this but Neo-Liberals of the Democratic party control everything and cry blood murder if you mention...

Justice System reform Wealth redistribution Ending genicide in all its forms by whomever commits the crime against humanity. Universal Health care UBI Banning of all none essential fossil fuel Free public education at all levels Covering every Americans essential needs so they can focus on saving the earth.

But no we're the ones being unreasonable.

I know this is important but honestly it just seems so harmless it's almost endearing given the coming shit storm.

[–] LotrOrc@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Except it's absolutely not fucking harmless.

In fact it's some of the worst shit he could do. Climate president my ass

I agree it's not harmless and we should be critical of Biden but if you think this is some of the worst that could be done in terms of the climate I suggest you strap in.

Worst shit HE could do

Trump will be a million times worse without a doubt
