She offers free child care after disasters. It’s a lifeline as families rebuild their lives.
When storms and fires disrupt caregiving for months, this volunteer-run network deploys to support parents navigating work, trauma and recovery.

Trump hates wind turbines because almost two decades ago he found out that an offshore one was planned near a golf course he was building. That's it. But that kicked off a hatred that has lingered and been backfilled with other rationales.

There are so many climate-related disasters that upend the lives of entire communities or regions while scarcely registering in the places most responsible for them.

I once tried to get a short fiction published where they blamed climate impacts on black magic. And i can see why it never got published -- it wasn't fiction was it
Matt Gaetz was Donald Trump's first choice nominee to be Attorney General of the United States. Now he's on his weird TV show claiming the Jews are burning down Argentinean forests to set up another Jewish state in the Americas as part of a globalist masterplan.

We are witnessing a fundamental shift: from a 20th-century rush for geopolitical control of fossil resources to a 21st-century geo-political scramble for expensive and stranded assets in a declining industry – providing far more theatre than production.

Venezuela - A Misguided Scramble for Stranded Oil

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Whom amongst us doesn't yearn for the days of rivers catching fire and asthma from smog. This is a good decision
Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.
E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution
