"He's withdrawing us from the world community."

"The President is withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate agreements, which is to say he's withdrawing us from the world community. (One might as well leave the UN.)
We now find ourselves in the position of preventing catastrophe and building the aspects of society that can stand independently of the federal government.
"Sustainable" has a new meaning. We are fighting to protect ourselves and others, to protect human life on earth.
Progressives believe that climate change must be fought hard, and now; we believe that part of our role as humans is to steward the earth and all of its creatures, not destroy them.
We must collaborate with every ally we can find, every defender of the environment, the species, and democracy, in order to avert catastrophe and ultimately stabilize and improve life on this planet.
The election, actually, did not change this at all: It just made it more clear."
