The Biden administration is withholding federal funding from a climate justice group that supports a ceasefire in Gaza.

The Climate Justice Alliance, a national coalition of more than 100 community environmental groups, was one of 11 grant-making organizations designated for Environmental Protection Agency funding under President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

The Climate Justice Alliance is the only group of the 11 grantees that has engaged publicly on issues related to Palestine — and the only one that hasn’t received its funding.

    Glad they’ll give fascism this power just so they can use it to stiffle the voice of Americans right before leaving.

      Just testing out some tools of oppression before giving control over to a fascist. I’m beginning to think the Dems aren’t really there for the working class.

      Biden is, and always has been, a shitty fucking president.

      He was, is, and always will be better than Trump, but he’s a pile of dog shit all the same.

      Liberalism across the West is a rotting carcass unfortunately. In 2000 the EU sanctioned Austria because an anti-refugee party got 52 seats in the National Congress. Today, that party has 57 seats and its view on refugees are basically what Kier Starmer and Van der Leyen believe.

      In 2016 we mocked Trump’s wall. In 2024 Kamala Harris says she will actually build it and chides him for not doing so.
