Commentary about the passing of Norway’s King Harald: “It was so easy to believe that he loved the people and concerned himself about us.” Aspirational (& attainable) leadership qualities. Rest in the peace and power of your legacy, King Harald.

The racism that’s rampant in our rulers hurts everyone, including white nationalist separatists. Vote in a Congress that can impeach them, or at least impair them.

I’d like to report a guy who asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to cook up "11,780 votes” so he could win the state.🙋🏻‍♂️

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Just 10 people have already poured over $1 BILLION into this year’s midterm elections. 90% has gone to Republicans. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

School nurse: "If you fill out this twenty-page form and have it signed by a pediatrician and notarized with three witnesses, I can give your child a Tylenol when they have a headache." Donald Trump: "Schools can secretly turn your child from Tim to Tammy."

Our president lives his life like he runs his businesses. He’s morally bankrupt. #8647

Wishing a speedy recovery to Pope Leo XIV. He continues to serve the world as a much needed source of moral authority when many leaders, at home and abroad, are abdicating their responsibilities.

Very proud of my daughter Ella’s first translation publication in a national journal! Three poems by Dominican poet, Jeannette Miller in “Latin American Literature Today.” latinamericanliteraturetoday.org/2026/09/meog...

This is not good. #ClimateChange bugs me We know what’s wrong and have the tools to make things better. Start by voting out anyone who can’t or won’t say that. If they are obstructionists, denialists, or ambivalent, they ARE the problem. Our lives and futures depend on getting this right.

#ClimateChangeBugsMe Let’s do what we can to do our utmost to stop it in its tracks. We must end our subjugation to fossil fuel interests. In the next 4 weeks the most meaningful job is to choose candidates with a climate plan and vote out obstacles (including silence) to getting things done.

Part of the way Minnesota pays for its public schools is through something called a Permanent School Fund. It relies on timber and mining lease revenue from trust land.

Russ Vought is Donald Trump's budget director and the most dangerous person you've never heard of. He helped write Project 2025, and he has spent years arguing that a president should be free to ignore spending laws he doesn't like. Now he's doing exactly that.

There are plenty good ideas for fighting climate change. A life hack towards fixing the problem might be discarding ideas that aren’t likely to be of much use that keep getting trotted out as “solutions” that are more often greenwashing delaying tactics designed to protect fossil fuel interests.

Go figure!

It should be, but it’s not happening.

Invest WISELY in a livable future starting with the priorities we face, with the technologies and methods already in our grasp, deployed to get the most bang for the buck ASAP.

We are not screwed. We can still stop the worst impacts of climate change and build a better future – if we act soon and act at scale. drawdown.org/insights/wer...

Stop burning fossil fuels. We have safer, cheaper clean energy alternatives.

A lot of people are discussing the idea of a 24/7 surveillance watch committee for the Kennedy Center following the reported Trump vandalism.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

This week I handed the newsletter over to climate policy & politics expert Leah Stokes. She says, talking about climate change doesn't lose elections. It wins them. Read on!

Listen to Ike. His General knowledge is probably superior to that of today’s warmongers and weapons peddlers.

#ClimateChangeBugsMe It should gnaw at everyone everyday, until it removes doubt or complacency & compels us all to work to reverse it. Any government or business official who makes things worse or doesn’t have a plan to make things better must be removed from positions of power. Let’s fix this.

Make your plans to vote now. Make sure you’re still eligible. Thwart the ongoing and planned 47 election cheats.

Happy Birthday, Woodsy Owl! Always remember: “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute!”

We gotta do all we can to stop climate change. We also have to do all that is humanly and humanely possible to lessen the impacts of the damage we’ve caused on the world. #ClimateChangeBugsMe Do all you can where you are to fix it. In the mean time, brace yourself & protect others.

We cannot afford the kind of climate change 47’s administration is accelerating. They are literally hosing the fires that threaten life on earth by pouring gasoline on the flame. #StopTheMadness #ClimateChangeBugsMe We have the tools to make things better now. Vote out all climate enemies in Nov

Regarding today’s decision by the U.S. EPA.

47 is desecrating our capitol city at our expense without regard to oversight, esthetics, precedent, or law. #StopTheMadness

The only clear alternative is stop burning, exploring for, & refining oil & gas. Whatever combination of corruption, ineptitude, & scientific illiteracy this comes from can’t be allowed to dictate the future of life on Earth. #ClimateChangeBugsMe #StopTheMadness Vote. Act. Infinite Resistance ∞Ω

#EndTheMadness

Just imagine if the 9/11 terrorists on Flight 93 that crashed in PA had managed to make the White House its target. Oh, never mind. 47 cleared up what that would have looked like. i.abcnewsfe.com/a/d0a94559-6...

Your dad would be proud as hell of you, my man.

Time to freeze out ICE everywhere. #InfiniteResistance ∞Ω

Proud of how my home state stood up for our neighbors and against the fascist thuggery of ICE and the despots that funded and directed them. #InfiniteResistance ∞Ω

If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should. The FCC and this administration are constantly trying to squash the resistance, but the resistance always finds a way around them. They can keep trying to silence people. It isn’t working. Tomorrow there will be more of us!

Snicker

hey welcome to America you can get arrested for giving water to people waiting in line to vote but the president is offering you $5k to vote for his party

PSA: Election officials in California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere are telling voters if you can, return your ballot through an official ballot drop box rather than trusting it to the mail.
