But alas, we need more people to fight.

Everyone seems to forget that we are voting for an administration, not one man. There is a succession plan & if Biden were to step down VP Harris is President & she chooses a VP (Pete B or ?). The great thing about great leaders is that they attract great people! (The opposite is so true!!!)

NYC Dept of Health tweets from July 9. Both are reasons to wear an n95 in public. Not just in NYC. COVID, pollution, and climate change are everywhere. Covid and air pollution can cause cumulative damage and disability that will make you more vulnerable to heatwaves and other climate effects.

Impoundment Learn the term. It’s how Donald Trump plans to defund any agency or program he wants, and there will be nothing Congress can do to stop it. This is how he defunds education, climate action and everything else on day one. This Project 2025.
