#Trump to propose opening #California Coast to #oil #drilling for the first time in roughly 4 decades, acc/to 3 people.
The move would set up a confrontation with Gov #GavinNewsom, a #Democrat who has fought #OffshoreDrilling & who has emerged as one of Trump’s chief political antagonists. Newsom is in Brazil for the #UN #climate summit, where he is drawing a contrast between himself & Trump, who denigrates efforts to fight #GlobalWarming.

“The real question, then, is not ‘what can we do?’, but ‘what are we afraid to do?’ Whose comfort are we protecting when we ask safe questions? Whose illusions do we preserve through politeness? Solidarity is not an optic; it is a disruption. It is noisy, uncomfortable, often isolating. It pulls reputation apart rather than polishing it.
…
We are too fluent in the language of outrage, too comfortable in the posture of virtue. History will not absolve spectatorship, even when spectators cheer for the right side. Liberation requires more than applause. It demands consequence. And the theatre of solidarity must finally give way to the labor of it. Otherwise, we are simply watching.”
