"I look forward to an 17 year old white girl with a bullhorn rambling about pipe lines and Native water rights at a Sunrise protest in front of Deb's house two days into the Biden Presidency."🙄
Me too!

Hmmmm.. that statement's a bit hazy unless the only thing they really ever see is old white guys, cuz Biden's group is nothing as they describe. NOTHING!
Not sure what they're looking at. Maybe they confused it with Trump's enviro grouo..
What a weird statement.


Looking for the old white guys in Biden's line-up here & am just not seeing it..

"New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland would be the first Native American to lead the Interior Department, which has wielded influence over the nation’s tribes for generations. Former two-term Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm is in line to be energy secretary."

"North Carolina official Michael Regan, if confirmed by the Senate, would be the first African American man to run the Environmental Protection Agency. Regan, the state environmental head since 2017, has made a name for himself by pursuing cleanups of industrial toxins and helping the low-income and minority communities significantly affected by pollution."

"Biden’s nominee to oversee the Council on Environmental Quality is Brenda Mallory. The office oversees environmental reviews for virtually all major infrastructure projects and advises the president on major environmental issues. If confirmed, she would be the first African American to hold the position since it was created more than half a century ago."

"Two other members of the team also being introduced Saturday do not need Senate confirmation. They are Gina McCarthy, to serve as national climate adviser, and Ali Zaidi, to serve as her deputy"

1. "Here's the Team Tasked With Carrying Out Biden's Incredibly Ambitious Climate Plans"

That's from Mother Jones. Pick your aspiration.

Or aspiration-killing poison.

Mother Jones:

Personnel is policy and Biden just unveiled his climate cabinet.

President-elect Joe Biden is entering office with the most ambitious plans for climate change of any president in history. In a Saturday afternoon speech from Wilmington, Delaware, Biden formally announced six key members of his cabinet who will be key to carrying out that agenda.
