As a new grandma, I worry more than ever about what kind of planet she (my granddaughter) and all the other little babies in her generation will have.
Good Grief how fucking shortsighted things are being run these days!
Im sorry its come to this, but its clearer and clearer to me that all the jobs in the world and all the affordable health care in the world wont mean squat if our planet is burning up.
Those in denial seem also to be primarily GOP, conservative, dismissive of science, and against immigration and immigrants - especially those who dont look or talk like them. The accelerating climate crisis is going to render more land uninhabitable, which is going to create legions more homeless who will be driven to migration - and where are they going to go? And too many people in a position to start doing something definitive about it refuse to accept the reality of the crisis. And there tends to be far more of that head-in-the-sand attitude among the GOP than among the Dems.
Yet another reason why we cant lose hope or let ourselves get discouraged. We HAVE TO stay engaged and vote like our lives depend on it. Our planets life certainly does.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
