- Reposted by Caroline BrouillettePeople are more drawn to arrogant leaders in an uncertain world. They mistake swagger for strength & skill. Narcissists are unfit to lead. They see power as an opportunity to seize, not a responsibility to serve. Great leaders blend confidence with humility and put their missions above their egos.

- Reposted by Caroline BrouilletteAll countries, EU and non, should recognise there’s no ‘deals’ with Trump; there’s only the continued threat of new and unpredictable tariffs.

- Reposted by Caroline BrouilletteThe actual bird nerds have long since spoken on this! The Audubon Society supports wind power as a clear net positive for bird populations and biodiversity - w/ targeted protections for a few highly threatened species in a few sensitive geographies (e.g. CA Condors).
- Evergreen reminder that wind turbines are not even remotely a leading cause of human-driven bird mortality. This is classic concern trolling in the interest of fossil fuels - if they really cared about birds they'd focus on domestic cats and building glass. And what's not shown here: climate change.
