Retired TV news producer/director. Earth is our home, and climate change threatens all of us. Survival requires peace and cooperation. Music is the language of love and I speak with my guitar. Trump belongs in the big house, not the White House.

Tennessee Brando delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's remaining supporters. “It's sad to watch people who are so miserable in their own lives get behind a man who is the king of misery, who just keeps adding more misery to their lives, and they keep cheering it on.”

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

Would that be the same Pulitzer Trump was asking for just the other night?! 🤨

This man was dead weight, hanging high above the ground after touching a high-voltage line. His coworker climbed up, held him in place, gave him mouth-to-mouth. Randall Champion survived—and lived another 35 years. Rocco Morabito’s photo, “The Kiss of Life,” won the Pulitzer Prize. True heroism.

ICE: No IDs. Wearing masks. No arrest warrants. They arrest people because of skin color. People are thrown in jail and not allowed to contact a lawyer. Many are loaded onto deportation flights and sent to countries they've never been to. This happened in Germany in the 1930s & '40s. #TrumpFascism

ICE assaulted a US citizen, dragging him from his vehicle in front of his family and one-year-old daughter who were also inside the car in Donna Texas on Thursday morning.

Voter suppression is now official GOP policy. That's what you do when you have no chance of winning a fair and open election.

Republicans don’t want students to vote, but please don’t let this stop you from making your voice heard!

Corporate greed is destroying our environment. Trees emit oxygen and are a major defense against climate change. Destroying them accelerates climate disasters. They don't care as long as it makes them rich in the short term. In future decades, their children and grandchildren will pay the real cost.

‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

theguardian.com‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentreCompany ordered to stop work at two sites in country, which has found itself at forefront of tech firms’ latest push Behind a wire fence lies a vast gaping wound of earth. Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone. After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River. Continue reading...

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?
