The first #EarthDay in 1970 saw 20 million people take to the streets in the USA
It led to the EPA, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act
Now, more than ever, we need a mass movement for the living world

Maybe I'm just in a COMPLETELY different class than Noem, but *who* carries around $3K in cash? Ever? WHO DOES THAT? If that's a government salary (laughs here)...
Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.
She has been on a govt salary for years.
Something aint right

Happy Earth Day. Apparently we're now relying on the honesty of people, rather than federal regulations, to ensure the safety of food, air and water. That'll work out REAL WELL. We already know how much corporations self-police.

Had a political discussion today with a contractor; it's the kind of discussion that we academics need to have more often. Was he right about much? No. But it's insightful to hear somebody articulate what they think is true. We need to have these conversations with people "not like us." 1/?

Utterly predictable, and I applaud Europe for supporting Ukraine.
European Union leaders are expected to discuss rapidly increasing defense budgets. There's new urgency after President Trump paused military supplies and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
