This is a time to ask, and answer, some fundamental questions: What does it mean to be an American? What's our country for? I have jotted some notes, drawing heavily on Gerald Ford, and his Bicentennial words. See what you think. www.jaynordlinger.com/p/to-be-an-a...

I get that sometimes to none climate folks it feels like it’s nerdy data, information, tools. But it’s also for justice. Knowing what’s happening & supporting proactive work to mitigate & adapt is a major tool for health, safety, reducing inequities.

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse.
From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

I see that Rachel Reeves is saying benefits are not a lifestyle choice, and citing Personal Independence Payment (PIP). You know what? PIP _isn't_ a choice - for people with serious disabilities and illnesses, it's a necessity. Nobody would ever choose to live this way.

People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them
That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it.
This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us
