don't invest in accelerating decarbonization. So they are no help
to what we need. |

Trump lacked courage to act on Jan 6
*Biden says Trump "lacked the courage to act" during January 6 attack.*
What a bizarre understatement! The wrecker had already acted, by
preparing and launching the attack on the Capitol,

What he lacked was not guts, but loyalty to his country. |

Sad to say, their web site depends so totally on JavaScript code that
it shows no information with JavaScript disabled. It's as much as to
require, arbitrarily, that you can't support your own freedom and
their campaign too. Why create a gratuitous conflict between these
two causes, when fundamentally they are entirely compatible?
If you are in contact with them, please offer to make their site
work at least minimally for users that reject JavaScript code.
If you attend a school where an occupation is planned, I expect you
will be hear about it in other ways, so that you can support it. |
