If I am not for myself,
who will be for me?

But if I am only for myself,
what am I?

And if not now, when?

Two years ago, I wrote this about how the COP climate summits are designed to fail, and how they could be designed to succeed. Sadly, nothing has changed.

Cop28 is a farce rigged to fail, but there are other ways we can try to save the planet | George Monbiot

Inaction and self-interest are built into climate summits. Instead, we need a voting system that can’t be subverted by fossil fuel producers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

"As droughts intensify & insects thrive in warming forests, trees are dying of thirst while being eaten alive. It's a double assault turning once-green mountainsides into graveyards of standing dead timber...'This trend could continue as our climate continues to warm."🌏 www.king5.com/article/tech...

Washington's forests face massive tree die-off

Of Washington's 22 million forested acres, the Department of Natural Resources manages about 3 million acres of state land.

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

Hi.

I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years — a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold.

I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean:

"United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

Starving people is a weapon of control. So, too, is controlling and attacking the media, attacking science and higher ed, and using the military against citizens and innocent people. All weapons of control.

This Veterans Day, let's honor our heroes with more than just words. Our Veterans are owed access to quality healthcare, mental health support, stable housing, and the respect they’ve earned. Real gratitude means action. Let’s stand up for those who’ve served. #VeteransDay

Every single day
we make some impact
on the planet

We haven't inherited
this planet from our parents
we've borrowed it from our children

If we get together
then we can start to heal
some of the scars
that we've inflicted

Executive Produced by Martin Scorsese and featuring such visionaries as Jane Goodall and Stephen Hawking, this film invites us to contemplate the progress traps that destroyed past civilizations and that lie embedded in our own.

the new director
of CBS News

"According to the insider, Weiss had wondered aloud about why the network even had the Standards and Practices unit in a meeting with other network leaders, and had expressed concern about how powerful the team is to individuals in the newsroom."

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct.

Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah.

Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh.

Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count.

But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.
