End fossil emissions and habitat loss. Against cruelty to animals and humans. Together, little by little, we'll clear the shit out of the barn.
Artist, restorer, climate action. No point trying to convince people who already agree with you.

If the first solar entrepreneur hadn’t been kidnapped, would fossil fuels have dominated the 20th century the way they did?
The 1909 incident may have cost the industry decades of progress – and the planet huge amounts of damaging carbon emissions.

There's a long history of fossil industry protectionism including threats, misinformation, denial and ridicule.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.
When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen.
It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

This is happening now anywhere in the US...
ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.
When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”
That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.
