I’m embarrassed to call myself an American.

Trump (Inmate # P01135809) did this

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse returned from the United Nation’s major climate change conference Nov. 16 after being the only federal representative from the United States to attend.

The Trump administration declined to send an official delegation to 30th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP30) in Brazil, making it the first time since 1995 that the U.S. was not officially represented at the annual climate summit.

All that is visible before the paywall kicks in.

This is the equivalent of being on !upliftingnews@lemmy.world

Yes, this is something positive, but that small bit of positive lays bare a vast ocean of a sad state of current affairs.
