First Presidential Alert

I got my first Presidential Alert today Did you too? It was alarming near the middle of the afternoon to receive this reminder, He's still President? Watch out! As a candidate he promised us he would do nothing to improve our weather and, in fact, would strongly support Business As Usual so we could plan on even more severe subclimates of internal and external pathology-- bilateral climate anxiety works competitively both ways. Severe Presidential Alerts are alarming but probably necessary acknowledgement the WhiteHouse denies human contribution to causing severe climatic harm and thereby perhaps hopes to avoid expensive global reparations, responsible repairs reforesting un-desertification liabilities, reinvestments in non-violent health care giving and receiving with all mattered lives Now green death shattered by severe climate necessities of ultra-violet Presidential Alerts Watch out! Patriarchal grabbing and transparent extracting, squeezing and penetrating pain at Presidential work against health and love of future sacred mattered Lives of Earth herself.
