If I could have all the electricity and water for free that data centers use up just for AI bots attempting to sign-up at climatejustice.social with sloppy sign-up reasons, I'd probably have to pay no more bills.
Instead I fight AI bots with no compensation and my bills rise and rise.

Florida's crank surgeon general recommended people drink "structured water," which doesn't exist and is a snake oil product designed to separate people from their money.

As long as courts side with rich developers against responsible groundwater management, the risks of permanent, damaging overdraft of #groundwater will continue, and future generations will suffer.

"Waterfall Light" for #TextureTuesday
This rainbow formed in the spray of Upper Rainbow Falls of the San Joaquin River, at Devil's Postpile National Monument near Mammoth Lakes in California's Eastern Sierra. I loved the combination of all the textures and colors and the somewhat abstract quality that the combination of it all took on.

In 1991, Pres. G.H.W. Bush’s National
Security Strategy explicitly called #water supply a threat “already contributing to political conflict.” #Climate change has also consistently been acknowledged as a security threat for decades.
Trump's "intelligence" agencies under Gabbard completely censored ALL references to environmental security threats.
Pulte will be more of the same -- looking only at threats Trump thinks are important and turning a blind eye to real threats to the US.
