There is a lot going on but spare a moment to think about the fact that 1/3 of Pakistan is under water. Like Pakistan, many poor/developing countries will bear the worst of climate disasters. The global #ClimateCrisis is also eco-racism on steroids.

cnn.com/2022/09/02/asi…
Why do I say the global #ClimateCrisis is also eco-racism on steroids. ? Because the countries doing the least amount of damage to the global ecosystem will suffer the most from the climate crisis.

As one born on a small island, I have emphasized the disproportionate effect of climate change on small island nations of the Pacific & Caribbean. The fact is, they do the least amount of environmental damage, and they will reap the most deleterious effects of #ClimateChange.

Here we go. The President. Joe Biden. A Patriot who would never abscond with stolen classified docs or incite a coup.
Pres Biden: "As I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault."
Pres Biden: "As I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.”

And there it is -- DOJ issues response to Trump's request for a Special Master. With 29 minutes to go.
Here is the DOJ response to Trump's request for a Special Master:

"As an initial matter, the former President lacks standing to seek judicial relief or oversight as to Presidential records because those records do not belong to him."

Today's hearings have started with a discussion of Trump supporters' enthusiasm for hanging Trump's VP, Mike Pence.

I am no fan of Mike Pence but every patriot should regard this as VILE and horrific.
Trump knew what he wanted was a violation of the ElectoralCountAct. He was repeatedly told that Pence would not act to overturn the election results, but Trump & Eastman plotted to pressure him anyway. As Cheney noted, Trump's pressuring of Pence was "illegal & unconstitutional."
These video clips of Trump saying that if Pence doesn’t "come through for us" he’s going to be "extremely disappointed" are disturbing. Clear incitement as seen by the fact that the insurrectionists at the Capitol immediately began chanting “Bring out Pence!” & “Hang Mike Pence!”

This article from @CivilBeat literally says Josh Green has been "pocketing campaign donations." Meanwhile @kaikahele is running a people-powered campaign.

Let it be known that @HawaiiDelilah 100% stands behind & endorses @kaikahele for governor of Hawaii
civilbeat.org/2022/05/what-a…
If you're as sick of the insider politics in Hawaii as I am, & you agree that "the challenge of raising enough money embodies the core problem in Hawaii’s politics," & that we deserve better, then @kaikahele is your guy. He's definitely getting MY vote.
I encourage people - especially my Hawaii Tweeps -- to read the entire Civil Beat article. It is time for change in Hawaii. And by change, I mean, we Democrats can do better.

I don't want to hear one fucking word about how you're not enthused about voting Democratic. Gun violence is on the ballot. Reproductive freedom is on the ballot. Climate change is on the ballot. Democracy itself is on the ballot. Grow up, show the fuck up, & vote Democratic.
Before you land in my mentions pissy and pouting because Democrats haven't delivered unicorns, take a remedial course on how legislation works. And if you still appear here, you should be shamed, shunned & blocked for actively promoting voter suppression.
In 2010, you were "staying home to teach Obama a lesson" because you didn't get M4A. 2016, it was the email lady. Now in 2022, you're mad about student loans. You're the dumbest motherfuckers alive. And that's staying something. Useful idiots of the Right
