@Will_Bunch 2/ "Worst part. In its unyielding effort to bend environmental rules to the will of its corporate patrons, Trump decided to stop arguing #ClimateChange is a hoax, instead acknowledge catastrophic climate change is so locked in for there is nothing humankind can do about it."

3/ "Team Trump has found a way to turn climate denial into something even worse — climate nihilism, the belief that the party's almost over so tonight Big Pollution might as well party like it's 2099."

4/ "Trip to Texas may take hours or days — the migrant boys and girls were given next to no warning, and moved out in the dead of night so they will not escape."

5/ " United States could not only stop selling the bombs that are destroying Yemen, and stop giving the Saudis the targeting information they need to carry out the airstrikes, but it could then use its clout to force an end to the fighting, or at least a ceasefire. But it won't"

6/ "It's nighttime in Trump's America-- & in Las Vegas, 1000s are lighting candles, holding American flags or weeping as gov reads the names of the 58 innocent people gunned down on Oct. 1, 2017, by madman w high-powered weapons that wouldn't be legal in most of civilized world"

7/ "It's nighttime in Trump's America — but the lights are on at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. In the press office aides are frantically scrubbing transcript of the president's latest press conference— as if that could somehow erase Trump's misogynistic words toward a female journalist"

8/ "From a second-story window comes the soft fluorescent glow of the Fox News Channel and an orange despot watching for the next mention of his name, with nary a thought about the children of Tornillo, or Yemen, or Parkland."

9/9 "Children of darkness will lie awake, listening w unspeakable anxiety for rumble of a bus or whoosh of Saudi jet fighter fresh off Lockheed Martin assembly line or news flash abt another shooting in another classroom.& they will pray that it really is darkest before the dawn"
