Just another political junkie looking for a place to scream into the void.
"do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish."

This 4th this year feels like a dystopian joke. The country is degenerating into a clown show of corruption, gleeful stupidity, and indulgent brutality. How can anyone with any awareness celebrate this country under these circumstances?

Sea level will rise fast even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C
Satellite observations show the ice sheets are melting faster than expected, and slowing sea level rise to a manageable rate would require lowering the global temperature below the current level

Slow 👏. So tired of people treating cynicism as smart or self validating.
I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
