I’m so sick of posting about gun violence.

Horrible for the Guardsmen and their families. Horrible for people who live and work close to where the shooting happened. Horrible for all of us wondering if our family is next at school, work, in our car, etc.

It’s the guns.

Amazing the world’s 5th largest economy (California) increased its GDP (81% up) and cut its GHG emissions (21% cut) since 2000, BUT not a single major news outlet covered the story? Obviously the fossil fuel industry and its sycophants don’t want the world to know.

"Gratitude is powerful. It’s both something we offer up and, when we mean it, it’s a gift we give ourselves that can help us to hold grief, move anger, and bring us into right relation with what is." UCS's Erika Spanger shares a few reasons to feel grateful, even in this challenging climate moment.
Giving Thanks in This Climate Moment
It's a time to be defiant, but also compassionate.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

An issue where we in Florida can support the stand of our state politicians.
Rare agreement from both sides of the divide.

The Trump admin wants to open offshore drilling along the CA and FL coasts, and both Newsom & DeSantis are calling it out as a threat to the environment, tourism and coastal communities.

If these two are sounding the alarm together, you know it’s bad.

At Third Act @thirdactorg.bsky.social we are by definition older Americans. We've seen more stuff than most people.

But we've never seen the president demand the execution of members of Congress.

We must help people see that Climate is a political issue. These drastic changes in weather are harming people in the USA and across the world. This story of the devastation to parts of Alaska is important and should be read by many.

I am an ardent defender of Democracy for myself and further generations. Please note that the division is NOT Dems vs GOP, rather Americans vs the oligarchs. Don't let them divide us with class or political distinctions

Good analysis. Terrible how the wealthy fossil fuel industry continues to exert such control even at the very places where people gather to save our planet.

Let's keep standing up and speaking up.
A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence.

Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say.

Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Bari Weiss, I believe this is your moment.
Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?

I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."
