Why consensus at #COP28 was difficult. For one, it requires a LOT of people to agree.

"Keep in mind some African countries, while seriously impacted by climate change, said they want to exploit their fossil fuel resources. They argue that the developed nations got rich thanks to 100 years of burning fossil fuels, why shouldn’t they get their chance?
Rich countries have long-promised financial and technical support to help poor nations leapfrog the fossil-energy stage of development. But year after year, that support hasn’t been delivered at anywhere near the scale needed. COP28 did little to change this."

Two D.C. courts on Friday shot down former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity and first amendment claims related to January 6 and his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Statistics show #Trump has won the affection of white evangelical #Protestant#voters since his 2016 campaign. We sit down with #journalist and son of an evangelical pastor, #TimAlberta, on his new #book, “The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an age of #extremism. He explains how and why the community got here.

Hi there @SusanSarandon,
First, your backstory: At an #AntiIIsrael#protests in NYC, you just said, "There are a lot of people that are afraid, that are afraid of being #Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country.”
Let me give you “a taste” of what it “feels like” to be a #Muslim in #America…
