When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

This one is really important. NCAR has been the crown jewel of atmospheric research in the US for many decades - science that benefits our entire country. Please take the time to call your senators and rep -- you can find a script on the link. Thank you! agu.quorum.us/campaign/151...
Save NCAR from being dismantled today!
The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

Albuquerque Costco today. This is crazy. We live in a place where good drinking water is available from our taps, and in a world that is drowning in plastic. What will it take to break America's addiction to bottled water??

TX has a new law requiring that the Ten Commandments be posted in all public school classrooms. But, the gov and the Repub reps are ignoring the commandment that says "Thou Shalt Not Steal" as they plot to steal an election in advance. Is there a Commandment that says "Practice Hypocrisy"?
