If you say “I will not change my climate behavior until <Rich Person> stops flying in a private jet”, someone will point at your behavior which releases more carbon than they and say “until they change, I won’t change”. And there will be someone pointing at them who has an even lower impact.
Yes, privat jets must be banned. But everyone must change their behavior. Who releases more, must do more. But this is on everyone.
Because, if everyone is willing to change, we can ground those m-fers.

NPR: Next up, David Folkenflik reports on how more and more people are turning off the news and we don't know why. But first, here's another story about Donald Trump! #npr
At Trump's arraignment, one of his lawyers decided to wallow in the Trump muck and echo Trump's ridiculous propaganda. Ethics violation?

"After yesterday’s arraignment on charges that he conspired to defraud the United States, conspired and attempted to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspired to overturn Americans’ constitutionally protected right to vote, Donald Trump today flouted the judge’s warning not to try to influence jurors. He posted on social media: 'IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!'”

"Prosecutors from the office of Special Counsel Jack Smith tonight alerted the court to Trump’s threat when they asked the court for a protective order to stop him from publishing information about the materials they are about to deliver to his lawyers. They expressed concern that publishing personal information 'could have a harmful chilling effect on witnesses' or taint the jury pool by telling potential jurors too much before the trial."
