Minnesota may be known for our lakes, Bob Dylan, and Prince - but our civic engagement runs deeper.

If Donald Trump intended to make an example out of Minnesota, then I am damn proud of that example.

Because the water in the Southwest is needed for farming, this is a problem that should concern everyone. The fact is there are far more people living in the desert than it can possibly support. In time it will become an interstate water war.

Trump is the kind of guy who tries to steal elections. He’s now presiding over a Justice Department that seems primed to help him try. We cannot permit any scandal of the moment to drive this fundamental reality from our minds.
Trump Is Still Obsessed with Stealing Elections
The FBI’s seizure of Georgia ballots is as much about future elections as past ones.

We are at the very edge of peak oil. Trump and his cronies are trying to squeeze out every last dime with no transition plan. They think they’ll be fine in their armed networked states as the rest of us are left to fend for ourselves. The time to wake up is now.
I've written a lot about oilfield liabilities and how we need to plan for the oil industry to walk away from those and also realize that the industry has no plan for managed decline. Once the profits are gone, they will just abandon everything...including society.

I make those points in this:

Keep it up, Dumbo.
Hello Donald this is your political strategist speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this stuff
Trump: "I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people who own homes."

He can't fool us!

His "beefed up" schedule will add whatever he does when he "rests his eyes," but under different names:
- Restorative focus session
- Low-stimulus cognitive recovery
- Offline systems optimization
- Passive information processing
- Energy conservation block

Make no mistake: This is meant to frighten and intimidate every poll worker and voter of color in the country. This case can’t get thrown out soon enough.
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

For any of you who have friends who say “This cold spell is proof that global warming is a hoax,” I invite you to share the following article. The unprecedented cold is a direct result of global warming in the arctic causing a polar vortex, which pushes cold south.

Meteorologists blame a stretched polar vortex, moisture and a lack of sea ice for the dangerous winter blast.

This is one of the most important books we can read right now. Our civilization is already dead. We are living through the death rattle. We must do everything we can to facilitate a good death, and prepare for what we raise from the ashes.
