Greed doesn't just destroy forests. It murders millennia-old beings that can't run or fight back. Less than 5% of the world’s old-growth forests remain intact. We are on the verge of telling our children that giants once walked the Earth,as if it were a fairy tale.

While we're talking about Dwight Eisenhower...

California voters: Don’t fall for billionaires’ tricks. Vote YES on Prop 40. Vote NO on Props 41 and 42. Let me explain.

“Everything feels out of whack in the United States.” Thank you, Prof Richardson, for summing up the current situation so aptly! heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-21...

Remembering the 116 Children and 28 Adults who tragically perished in the Aberfan Disaster 60yrs ago today. 109 children and 5 teachers died at the local school when it took the brunt of one of the 7 ‘spoil tips’ collapsing & burying all in its path.

Over forty California multimillionaires have signed an open letter urging their fellow Californians to vote YES on Prop 40. They are willing to pay higher taxes, and there’s no reason why billionaires should feel differently with Prop 40. Learn more at californiansproudtopay.com

“We can.. protect the election outcome by taking to the streets after the election, if need be. The rest of the non-stop coverage of what Trump might or might not do is irrelevant to us at this point.” (just vote and vote early)! Many great photos today. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/gop-closin...

TRUTH 👇.......

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who's spent $100M+ against California's Prop 40, spent the weekend dining with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. These billionaires keep accidentally proving why we need a billionaire wealth tax.

Good evening from Ukraine🇺🇦 We’re still fighting. Still hoping. Please, don’t look away. #ukraine #world #ukrainians #ukrainiangirl #war

Donald Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine.”

My fellow Californians, YES on 40. NO on 41 & 42.

Disturbing. Nearly 12,000 book bans were recorded nationwide during the 2025–26 school year.

In a classified briefing, a DoD official revealed to Senators how much Iranian attacks on U.S. bases have cost us. Now, I'm calling for the DoD to make that number public. Americans deserve to know how much of their money is being burned on Trump's war with Iran.

When people tell me they “don’t do politics,” I get it. It’s not pretty and it can be totally exhausting. But here’s the thing: billionaires and giant corporations are certainly doing politics — and they’re going to keep doing it regardless of how you feel.

💉 Yes, I still get vaccinated against COVID. And yes, I chose Novavax. As a physician who treats Long COVID, I get questions about vaccines all the time. Here’s why I chose Novavax, why I got it now, and why I didn’t get it with my flu shot. 🧵👇1/5

Trump dumped tons of debris containing lead, chromium, and arsenic in a PUBLIC PARK from his east wing teardown & ballroom build & now he is trying to turn a historic community golf course & park into mini Mar-a-Lago We will see you in court tomorrow! More on @MS.Now 👇

From Ukraine 🇺🇦 We are tired, but we do not kneel. Hope is our quiet weapon. #ukraine #hope #ukrainians #war #ukrainian

Before Trumpism Came To Town....

Beyond the peaceful protests for schools, this sounds like just violence and looting .. thinking of France and hope this doesn’t contribute to far -right victories in the next elections.

whoa... the current map of "No Kings: Vote Early" events planned for tomorrow, sat oct 17: www.nokings.org

Hopefully people are waking up to the fact that the Maga-aligned AI industry is invested in hijacking, censoring, & manipulating information about the world as they suck up data and privatize it, gaining power over entire populations.

To nobody's surprise, Trump has suspended the implementation of the sanctions against Russia foreseen under the Lindsey Graham bill, alleging "national interest" reasons. The bill's critics warned about the excessive discretion granted to the president.

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

Good morning from the country that was supposed to fall in three days. Still waiting here🇺🇦 #ukraine #ukrainian #ukrainians #ukrainiangirl #war

As a Norwegian I can say that taxing the rich works. The should be taxed more. We should do it as an Earth tax for anyone on earth who is a $ millionaire incl trusts. If you’re here, you have to pay, no country is exempt. Use it to vaccinate, educate and eradicate hunger. 👌🏼

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

Robert is energized tonight (and rightly so). Have a read. (And today’s photos of so many of our fellow citizens, with their wonderful signs, on streets and overpasses around the country are as inspiring as heck) roberthubbell.substack.com/p/we-can-do-...

Ras al-Ahmar 15.10.26 This morning too, the IDF refused to allow water to be brought into the besieged community of Ras al-Ahmar. Four water tankers, accompanied by representatives of the Atuf Council, residents, activists, and the press. Entrance denied. (Footage: Jordan Valley Activist)

“In a just world, the damage Trump inflicted on the economy, with the complicity of Senate Republicans, should be sufficient to flip control of both chambers of Congress.” I’ll admit I am still worried.. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.
