In response to this post #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrders are so far entirely BS. Almost every single one will have no effect. They are either “messaging” like withdrawal from the #ParisAccord (technically Trump needs to submit a letter to the UN & then that doesn’t go into effect for a full year) or will 100% be legally challenged. #law #USpol #PerformativePolitics

In response to this post “#Trump’s irresponsibility is no surprise,” said Christiana Figueres, a Costa Rican diplomat and an architect of the #ParisAgreement in 2015. “In time, Trump will not be around but history will point to him and his #FossilFuel friends with no pardon.” #climate #ClimateCrisis #science #ParisAccord #USpol #geopolitics
Petty The #Pentagon unveiled a portrait of ret. Gen. #MarkMilley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, earlier this month. But now that #Trump is president, & hours after Milley received a pre-emptive pardon from #Biden on his way out the door, Milley's portrait appears to have been taken down. Milley served in his Joint Chiefs role under both Trump & Biden, & according to a book by journalist Bob Woodward, Milley called Trump “a #fascist to the core.”

In response to this post Coupled with #Trump’s other #energy measures on Monday, withdrawal from the #ParisAccord signals his administration’s determination to double down on #FossilFuel extraction & production, & to move away from #CleanEnergy technologies like #ElectricVehicles & power-generating #wind turbines. #climate #ClimateCrisis #USpol #geopolitics
“If they want to be tough on #China, don’t punish US #automakers & hard-working Americans by handing our clean-car keys to the Chinese,” said Gina McCarthy, former White House #climate adviser & former head of the #EPA. “The #UnitedStates must continue to show leadership on the international stage if we want to have any say in how trillions of dollars in financial investments, policies & decisions are made.” #labor #business #ClimateCrisis #USpol #geopolitics

In response to this post The move, one of several #energy-related announcements in the hours immediately following his inauguration, is yet another about-face in #UnitedStates participation in global #climate negotiations. During his first term #Trump withdrew from the #ParisAccord, but then President #Biden quickly rejoined in 2020 after winning the White House. Scientists, activists & Democratic ofcls assailed the move as one that would deepen the #ClimateCrisis & backfire on American #workers.

Among the #Biden executive actions rescinded by #Trump include an order that directed the federal government to prioritize racial #equity in its policy making.
The Trump admin revoked a Biden executive order that created a task force to reunify families separated at the southern #border. In the time the task force was in place, it reunified nearly 800 children with their parents, according to a report it released last year.
