I am a committed atheist, but I listened to Talarico's interview and found myself agreeing with much of what he said. The Dems definitely need voices like his to provide a safe landing for religious Republicans seeking a way out of the cruel tactics of the current admin.

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Save NCAR from being dismantled today! The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

This one is really important. NCAR has been the crown jewel of atmospheric research in the US for many decades - science that benefits our entire country. Please take the time to call your senators and rep -- you can find a script on the link. Thank you! agu.quorum.us/campaign/151...

Target, Amazon, Home Depot. You’re not just selling products β€” you’re laundering fascism through your supply chains, your lobbying, your silence.

We’re spending elsewhere β€” where justice isn’t a coupon code. #WeAintBuyingIt

(above images of the Target, Amazon, and Home Depot logos that have been crossed out) We Ain't Buying It Target Companies

This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

Beautiful BLM managed land in New Mexico in a desert and rock environment

Hey rest of the United States!Head’s up! New Mexico oilman Steve Pearce is going to be nominated to lead the BLM. Millions of acres of pristine BLM land is vulnerable to mining & oil exploitation. Unleashed Steve will destroy our public lands. Call your reps and senators and block his appointment.

Nixon saved Israel in '73 and some Jews loved him for it. Until he tried to end democracy. Don't make the same mistake now. Trump has become Nixon 2.0. Nixon believed he was above the law and tried to upend American democracy. He was also a bully who assisted Israel in its darkest hour, when no one else could.

I do know that not everyone has access to tap water (e.g. on the Navajo reservation), but for many of us, there is no excuse for buying bottled water.

Albuquerque Costco today. This is crazy. We live in a place where good drinking water is available from our taps, and in a world that is drowning in plastic. What will it take to break America's addiction to bottled water??

TX has a new law requiring that the Ten Commandments be posted in all public school classrooms. But, the gov and the Repub reps are ignoring the commandment that says "Thou Shalt Not Steal" as they plot to steal an election in advance. Is there a Commandment that says "Practice Hypocrisy"?

Post mass migration, Miller's Jewish family arrived in the US from Antipol, in what is now Belarus. (My family also came from Antipol). I don't understand how someone whose family was saved by coming to the US can be so virulently anti-immigrant.
