I lead tours at Channel Islands National Park, CA. A couple of years ago, I spent the day hiking with a group of Russians and Ukrainians, and I took this photo at Inspiration Point on Anacapa Island.

Reich is right.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state.
In doing so, they have smashed any semblance of international law and order.

The lame hubris of any politician who expects to get truth from this administration.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

So the the FIFA Peace Prize truly was meaningless after all?

Re-Pete.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

This is an invasion of Venezuela now. Not a singular attack.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

On a @glendunlap.bsky.social thread, I recently shared some photos of young gulls from Anacapa Island, Channel Islands National Park.
So many folks liked them, figured I should start sharing some of my photos as a hike guide and on-board naturalist.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.
