I received this letter from the American Civil Liberties Union, addressed to Mr. Trump. As America’s anti-democratic turn imperils the free world, the ACLU will be a crucial defender.

This post is a fact sheet for climate change. I wrote this post during Trump’s first term. I’m revising it and reposting today.
Donald Trump’s 2.0 administration shows no interest in dealing with climate change, other than sticking their heads in oil-rich sand. They also refuse to understand some elementary concepts of climate change. If they did, they would stand with most Americans. Americans believe climate change is as much a local problem as a global one.

At times I can communicate with a young person from the future. Her name is Skyler Fusaro. She lives in Atlanta, in a high rise apartment on Peachtree Street. It is a mile north of the Realto Theater, on the campus of Georgia State University.
In the year 2025, America was fractured amidst the return of Donald Trump, advanced technology and social upheaval. About a month after Trump took office, Skyler transmitted a letter to me by Techno-teleport. She was furious that Americans reelected Trump. He was convicted on 34 felony charges linked to trying to interfere with the 2016 election. He was also found liable for sexual assault and rape of E. Jean Carroll. He had to pay her about $90 million. Furthermore, a judge found Trump and his foundation and family guilty of fraud and fined $500 million. She said that the laws had been changed preventing anyone like Trump from being allowed to run for public office. She reminded me that we had multiple chances to avoid letting a criminal from being in the Oval Office.
The letter she wrote is quite powerful. She pointed out to me that millions of Americans are up in arms, and enraged that
Trump said he didn’t know about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 25, yet he is tracking its game plan. The mass layoffs were a shock to her, and she said that the American people won’t stand for it.

It Starts With You and Me
In a land where the lights flicker, voices clash,
Three figures rise with cruel ambition and a dash,
From towers to rockets, they’re making their mark,
But let’s peel back the layers and spark a real talk.
Donald’s got the spotlight, like a TV showman,
Promises like confetti, flipping pages of rage.
He built an empire on the backs of the brave,
But what’s left in the wake of the paths that he stole?
