Based on recent election campaigns, and panel discussions about US politics, I conclude that the climate crisis is existential, but not important. Maybe we can get nature to grant us an extension?

If Trump succeeds in keeping control of the House and Senate by means of voter intimidation, he will find himself with a country where over half the population considers the federal government illegitimate. He'll have a very angry tiger by the tail.

Michigan U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin gave a speech at the Brookings institution saying the obvious that few others have been willing to say. Trump's killing without trial at sea is a step toward killing his enemies at home.

Taxes—not just because it’s the moral thing to do, but because if we don’t we will lose democracy.
The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?

I think extra-judicial killing of suspects at sea - no arrests, no trial - is a bigger deal, but the pix of the WH wreckage may do Trump more political damage.

We have already entered the methane feedback doom loop. Probably the most important news item of the month. Which will generate almost no coverage in the media.
New evidence shows methane which is 25x more potent than CO₂, is leaking from cracks in Antarctica’s seafloor. As ice melts, massive hidden reservoirs may be releasing this “super pollutant,” accelerating warming.

One of the functions of democracy is to maintain order by offering people a peaceful way to express their dissatisfaction. Sabotaging democracy through voter intimidation and gerrymandering is like tying down the safety valve on an old-fashioned steam engine. Eventually, Boom!

Continued development of AI & robots is unstoppable. Capital is pouring in. It's being done in too many venues to be controlled. Let's focus on what's doable, including building social safety nets to protect displaced workers, and making data centers use green energy and protect water supplies.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!
We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

Japan will have a woman Prime Minister. She might not be PM without the work of Beate Sirota Gordon. Gordon was a 22-year-old woman working for the US occupation forces in Japan in 1946 when she wrote the sections on women's rights in the Japanese Constitution. Look her up.

Nicholas Kristoff, NYT, Sunday, Sept 21: "Trump’s Most Lethal Policy" - the results of ending USAID.
"...what I find here in desperate villages in southwestern Uganda is that not only are aid cuts killing children every day, but that the death toll is accelerating." Heartbreaking.

The arrest of hundreds of South Korean workers is part of Trump's plan to encourage foreign investment in US manufacturing. If the logic is hard to understand it's because we are not stable genuises.

Like mythical lemmings, millions of Republicans are still running off a cliff into poverty and misery. But gaslighting will meet reality. If we have free elections in 2026, he can at least be checked. Big if, though, as Trump gets his army of ICE Brown Shirts.
