Amy Westervelt says one nation at COP30 brought it:

“The most inspirational action came from…the small but mighty Colombian delegation, the only one whose negotiators and civil society groups were unified in their call for one primary goal: a commitment to phase out fossil fuels.”

Did Americans really vote for this? I needed to know. So I pored over statistical reports from @electiontruthalliance.org.

Here's what I found: it's worse than I'd heard! Evidence of vote manipulation across multiple states.

We need hand audits!

To stand up to fascism, the most important thing we can do, every day, is to plant ourselves firmly in what is true. And yes, we all have the ability to see clearly and know what is true. Though getting there takes a little practice.
58. How Do We Know What Is True?
Yes, everyone has a built-in place where they can see clearly. And getting there takes some practice.

Youth v. Gov:

Here’s a moving update on the young people’s climate case against the govt. They just concluded two days of live testimony to a court in Missoula, MT. With Nobel laureates and scientists backing them up.

Lawsuit brought by Our Children’s Trust.

In the cool Missoula morning, supporters lined the sidewalk with bright orange marigolds, creating a path of hope leading to the courthouse. As our young plaintiffs walked through this tunnel of solidarity, they carried with them stories that no child should have to tell.

Now is the time to be curious about our universe, to be imaginative about all its possibilities, including the potential for humans to live in good and sustainable relations with each other and the ecosystems that we depend upon.

This is a time of stubborn freedom dreaming.

Unusually beautiful breakers along the Kihei coast today, and surfers were out enjoying them. A minute of the magnificent ocean.

Why seabeds matter? 🌊 💙

These vital habitats are full of incredible wildlife and store vast amounts of carbon. Yet they are threatened with destruction by industrial scale fishing in many areas. For #NationalMarineWeek we’ll be sharing how you can help save our seabeds.

"When nature is personal, the world is peopled by rocks, trees, rivers, and mountains...protagonists of their own stories rather than just props in a human story. When Earth is truly alive, the world is full of persons, only some of whom are human.”

Coming to a vote 7/23 at the Maui council: a bill to return some short-term rentals to housing for local families. Keep your fingers crossed for us! Great summary here of Maui politics in recent years.

I wanted to watch the tsunami at the reef where we swim. So at the last minute I learned how to capture video on a phone. This is the Ulua beach webcam in South Kihei on Maui. The first wave surge happened later than expected, after dark, so no viewing. But here, for you, is the beach at sunset.

Imagine boldly!

“What would it mean for law to transcend the Anthropocene and find itself rooted in forests, bees, mountains, and dirt, not as passive objects but as entangled kin that sustain life?”
What a more-than-human court could be
In an era of ecological collapse, law must evolve to hear the testimony of rivers, whales, and forests — not as metaphors, but as kin.

"The land was made to be shared among all, rich and poor alike. But you rich men are trying to reserve it for yourselves!"

From a radical voice today?

No, from a bishop in 385 CE. But only a few years later no one preached this anymore. What happened?

On the corrosive power of inequality.

Touching silence. Touching joy. Touching Earth. I've been getting up for the dawn chorus this year. It's a spiritual practice yes, but also political resistance. Because authoritarians want to control others from the inside out. And saying no begins at home—in the secret places of our own heart.
