Trump Watch:
Widely-Opposed Pipeline ‘Confirms Worst Fears’ After Two Spills Into Ohio Wetlands. We don’t need anymore fossil fuel infrastructure, we need renewables. These pipelines are simply being built so that massive carbon companies can squeeze a couple more years of profit out of the ground before their business model is made illegal. They must be stopped.
Exxon asks Trump administration for waiver from Russia sanctions.
we know how much oil/gas/coal is in the ground. The value of these big carbon companies is based on the value of these proven reserves. We also know that if we burn all that oil/gas/coal that global warming will be unstoppable.
The stock value of these companies is dependent on the market continuing to believe that those proven reserves will be dug up and burned.
These companies are horribly over valued, because most of their “value” is in reserves that CAN NOT be used (if you value the future of civilization)
They will lie/cheat/steal/bribe basically do anything to make sure that the market and the general public continues to think everything is fine, if only to squeeze out one more year of profits. Get your money out of carbon stocks now, because this bubble is about to pop. They might have paid a lot of money to get Trump in office, but he can only delay the inevitable, renewables are too cheap, carbon fuels are too dirty, its only a matter of time before this entire industry goes down hard.

Tools of change:
Feel like this is all a bunch of bullshit? Want to do something about it?
Calling your government representative:
Call your Senator
Call your House Rep (Or use this spreadsheet)
Call your Governor
Call your Attorney General
Or try this website
Fax Congress here (free!)
You can also use 5Calls.org if you are having a hard time figuring out what to say.
Tell them in no uncertain terms that you want them to fight to stop Trump from doing these things. Tell them you will be watching them closely on how they vote, and will hold them accountable during the next election if they cave to Trump. You can also call other states congress people and threaten to donate to their opponent if they don’t do what you want.
Phone Bank for Progressive Candidates:
Call the White House:
202-456-1111
Call the “White House”:
Use this website to call one of Trump’s many properties he has not put into a blind trust yet, and let them know how you feel (be polite, they are workers just like us, but be firm).
Do a little Slacktivism:
Send Some Text Messages for progressive causes (I know it says textforbernie, but its for a range of progressive candidates) Or you can have your texts turned into faxes by the ResistBot
Go to a town hall and talk to your congress person in person:
Check when the next town hall is here
Monitor your congressperson:
Keep track of how your senator is voting on cabinet picks here, so you can call them up and give them hell if they vote for any of these worthless fuckers.
See how your elected representatives are voting for or against Trump.
Also be sure to keep track if you live in a district with an upcoming flip-able seat (flip to the left that is)
