Vance is the looming threat because of this lack of moral base and his transparent will to power. Trump has his brownshirts, but he's a fading and cowardly old narcissist. It takes a Vance who will do anything for power to create the blackshirts that come in the final phase.

Irreplaceable old-growth forests are logged daily. 96% of global deforestation hits tropics,6.6M ha in 2022 alone. Over 1,200 arrested to save them. No more delays. No to deforestation of our remaining forest #ProtectTheIrreplaceable #ClimateAction

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist.
This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in.
1/ A short 🧵on how the entire ambush went down.
If you watch the full Trump-Zelensky press conference, it is very clear that Zelensky, not Trump or Vance, became the antagonist. Both POTUS and VP were very respectful and cordial until Zelensky very publicly ignited a firestorm.
It all starts at 40:30
1) Zelensky essentially rejects how VP described the mandate of POTUS to conduct foreign affairs, and he insinuates that Trump term one did nothing to stop Putin.
2) He then basically tells Vance that his ideas are faulty and that the administration's diplomacy won't work.
These two comments are *deliberately antagonistic.* Everything was all well and good, but Zelensky took two major shots in a public forum, and they had to respond. And respond they did.
Recall, this is the guy who interfered in our electoral politics and called VP "too radical," and bashed Trump in an interview with New York Mag weeks before the election.
Zelensky is ENTIRELY at fault here. 100%.

Oligarchic control and subservient justice & security systems are lessons Russia has for Americans, & another is the neutering of the Russian Duma, which abdicated most of its powers to Putin and soon had the rest taken away. The GOP looks ready to become Trump's United Russia.

Realities on the field shows that we need to Act Fast and protect our remaining forest from the logging companies and unscrupulous human activities. Our major carbon reservoirs in the Congo basin and Amazon are disappearing on a daily basis.Retweet, like and say No to ecocide

Anyone who cares about life on Earth, the marvellous natural systems that sustain us (we are really part of it), are being made to look like radical extremists, because our governments and the media, are being run by fanatical, radical extremists, pretending to be the norm.

#RFKJr 's confirmation hearing begins today. He's such a bad choice for HHS Secretary that even the NY Post soundly objected.
Please call your senators and ask them to vote against this nomination.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
