Maybe the billionaire dictator’s legal demand that he is allowed to starve 42 million hungry Americans will finally arouse us from slumber.

This is my 6th in a 6-part series covering the MAGA assault on our world. This one—Hobbling the Protectors—looks at the Trump program of mass firings, draconian budget cuts, rescinded health standards, and lawsuits—leaving the public defenseless against polluters.

Trump's pardons, demanding nothing but loyalty to him, taught me something important about my inherited religion.

"Beautiful Clean Coal." As of Thursday the mining of “clean” coal (Joseph Goebbels would be envious) will be deemed "the PRIMARY land use for the public lands with coal resources."
You thought public lands belonged to all of us? They now belong to the owners of the world's dirtiest industry.

It’s so hard to photograph a dead forest. But all the woodlands of our farm are dying, except the invasive ailanthus and autumn olives that never should have been here. And today, the last duck farm on Long Island had to kill all 100,000 of its ducks due to bird flu. This is the Anthropocene.
