Actually, I believe that we can attribute the Indian Wars of the 1880s to white supremacy, greed and a total disregard for the human rights of anyone who looks different than those in power at the time. Yea, white as I am, I’m talkin’ about white people…

I read the Bible and that’s not what God was saying. Your interpretation is off. The point was that God had provided everything for them to enjoy without pain and sin. The Sin brought about real life. He’s not being negative about the world, He simply changed the way they would navigate it.

That's the Christian dogma. Judaism states that people are put on the earth to be stewards and caretakers of the planet. The Judeo-Christian concept is a myth. They're two very different religions.

Every couple of days it stops me dead in my tracks and knocks the breath out of me to realize how bad things are gonna get for how many people in how many ways, and how it is all down to the petty insane whims of one of the worst people America has ever produced.

Without flowers, bees cannot survive. Without bees, we too will disappear. Every flower is vital: flowers feed bees. Bees pollinate plants. Plants provide us with food, oxygen, and medicine. It's not just about saving the bees, but also our own existence.

A functioning democratic system would have an immune response fully rejecting anyone who would even joke about becoming a dictator as president. You don't get to run for or hold office. You are removed. Full stop. That's how seriously the poison of authoritarianism should be considered.
The future is obviously unwritten, but it's pretty clear where we are headed without swift action, which nobody with power seems capable of.

I don't know what else to say. I'm depressed and despairing that my kids will grow up in a nation far less prosperous and free. All for what, one guy?

There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.
Whales are dying, but it’s not because of wind farms
Investigating a whale beaching is grueling work, and scientists see the same culprit again and again.

A word to Trump... Gavin Newsom:

"We have been getting a lot of attention on Fox News lately, but here are some cold, hard FACTS you won't hear on that network.

💰 Middle class families in California pay LESS in taxes than in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas."

The whole state? That would take every agency and military personnel they have, and even then they will be outnumbered and unable to control all of us.

They will occupy Seattle for a while and claim victory, then trickle out.

Or, be forced out. Their choice.
