COMMENTARY: The West Coast is experiencing horrific wildfires, and the mid-Atlantic is recovering from back-to-back winter storms. These “natural” disasters put our communities at extreme risk and are a result of climate change, writes Morgan King.

Driving through a work zone today, I was pondering the “Be Prepared to Stop” signs that line work zones. Shouldn’t we ALWAYS be prepared to stop? Isn’t that kind of our job when driving??

Or donate to The Carter Center. But try everyday to be a Jimmy Carter because we have way too many DJTs.
There are many wonderful tributes from around the world, to the great President Jimmy Carter.
In a world of Donald Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter.
In his honor, donate to your local Habitat for Humanity and do one good deed today, for another.

Interested to hear how the GOP is planning to spin not voting for funding for extending disaster relief right before Christmas at the behest of an ultra-rich megalomaniac. Scrooge is so proud of all the good work they are managing already.

Although I do not condone violence, I understand the impulse and we REALLY need to fix this system. People die WITH HEALTH INSURANCE in the richest nation on the planet simply because we have folks who profit when they deny care even when it should be covered.
