First they came for the gays, and I did not speak out— Because I was not gay. Then they came for the women, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a woman. Then they came for the media, and I said nothing, Because I'm not in the media. Then they came for the undocumented, and I did not speak out— Because I was not undocumented.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This weekend, it becomes real.

Trump gives a speech to tout his environmental accomplishments. Yes, that really happened; PLUS: Record heat waves in Europe and the Arctic make June 2019 the hottest June ever recorded globally... All that and even some good news in today's Green News Report!
