Summary

Jeff Bezos’s Earth Fund has ended its funding for the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a major climate certification group, raising concerns that billionaires are shifting away from climate action under Trump.

While Earth Fund claims the $18M grant expired as planned, critics argue political pressure influenced the decision.

Trump’s administration has cut climate mentions from federal sites and slashed green funding, prompting corporations to retreat from climate commitments.

Experts fear this signals a broader decline in green investment as Trump aggressively rolls back environmental initiatives.

republicans could have shut that shit down for decades now.

When Clinton deregulated news media and campaign finance, it didn't just let the rich influence the Dems, it handed the Republican party lock and key to them.

Like, everyone is bitching about Trump's cuts to federal workers right now, completely ignorant that it took 30 years to recover from Clinton's 90s cuts...

trump is doing the neoliberal playbook, he's just too dumb to make people think it's a solid plan.

Do you think the left thinks everyone on the left is perfect and out for the common people’s good?

Have you not seen the posts from neoliberals taunting progressives over how many Palestinians are being killed?

Have you not seen what happens when people talked about Biden's flaws?

Now, I wouldn't expect anyone to watch mainstream cable news, but if you did you'd see it's filled with people saying it 24/7.

It's all over the place.

And that's just politically active people...

Most voters just flat out don't know what happened 30 years ago, it's worth people knowing why we're here so we can leave and never come back.

I see I'm talking to a well versed person who thinks a Neoliberal is the same is a liberal and happens to avoid the Nazi salute and Guantanamo Bay part. Interesting. I wish the laptop version could tag people.

Ironically enough, I have legitimately been to Gitmo, no idea how it's relevant tho...
