Renewables? Barely a fraction.
We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s.
I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

Until the Supreme Court is reformed and the corrupt members removed, nothing else matters because the Supreme Court and its corrupt members will just stand in the way of everything else.
Any Democrat who can't get behind that simple fact should leave politics now.

I'll restate my oft-stated position that democratic self-government in the United States is not possible unless this Court and its manifest corruption are thoroughly reformed. civic democracy or this corrupt court. can only have one.
