Are you hurting #wildlife without even knowing it?

Lots of things we do every day, whether in pest control or #PetCare, are detrimental to the wild creatures and plants we share the planet with. But product labels don’t tell us that.

Americans are starting to see why the Government is shut down. With no oversight Trump is free to wield power for his own benefit. Executive Orders are immediately Law, even though they aren’t. The Courts are slow and in some cases beholden to Trump. America, you are in deep shit

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

You are the co-owner of 45 million acres.

For the past 25 years, they have been protected under the #RoadlessRule (a conservation policy over 1.6 million Americans submitted comments supporting).

Now, you're about to lose them all.

I'm off to Munich to speak at Medientage München. My message: US democracy is dying. US mass media are dead, and deserve to be, as they did not protect democracy. Our only hope in the US is new and independent means for voices to heard. Europe should learn from America only how to avoid our fate.
