Destroying habitat for “clean” energy is a dirty trick!
Another destructive solar project approved in n CA -- “There's nothing environmentally friendly about cutting down 4,000 oak trees, the most ecologically valuable native tree in all of North America. Over 2,000 other species depend on them." 🌎 www.capradio.org/articles/202...
SMUD’s controversial Coyote Creek solar project moves forward
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the project at a packed Tuesday meeting, where over 150 people showed up to voice concerns or support.

Forward we go. I finally got out all the moon cloth subscriptions. In the chaos of everything, I misplaced one of the two sets of moons I had dyed and had to re dye them. Then of course, after that and packaging them all up to mail, I found them. So it goes. This months moons included these : Hey-where did that fish come from??

Meanwhile people here will be losing healthcare and education debt follows you for a lifetime (among other issues).

A remarkable person. A remarkable life. A remarkable positive & lasting legacy.
That is the trinity
of a meaningful life. Susan Stamberg nailed all 3. We are all better for how she lived her life. And we should all act accordingly in our own lives.
Otherwise what’s the point

Susan Stamberg, one of the "founding mothers" of NPR and the first woman to anchor a national nightly news broadcast in the U.S., has died. She was 87. 🧵

They are gleefully cutting services to special ed kids.
How vile!
How vile!
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

This doesn’t sound good for Japan.
Japan’s next PM, Sanae Takaichi, wasn’t chosen by us but by 370 LDP insiders & dues-paying loyalists—mostly old, rural, ultraconservative men. The LDP is neither liberal nor democratic, just a business. She’s a xenophobic sociopath who opposes gender equality
