The Republican budget will be a wrecking ball for rural Oregon and make your energy bills more expensive. All so Donald Trump can give his rich friends more tax breaks.

Shitty values.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states.

I wish John Gardner was still with us by to see this post.

I cannot stress enough how much of a Def Con 1 moment this is. Federal judges fear that the President of the United States will stand down security for judges in retaliation for adverse decisions.

This is such a huge story.

I’d join you. My kid’s Japanese cousin was visiting last year. He’s a sushi chef. I took him to Otto’s and he said, “ if I could sell these in Japan I’d make a fortune.”

And massive and growing contributions from batteries.

Otto’s in Portland.

This thread by David Roberts is super important. It’s about the information and communication systems we need to create to counter fascism.

The Interior Department announced late yesterday that it will fast-track approvals for coal, gas, oil, and mineral projects on public lands.

My name is Jonathan Treble. I'm a father, business owner, and the Democrat ready to flip Arizona's 1st and bring back real leadership to our district.

I can't do it alone. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help me take back this seat and take back the House majority?

Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control. They are banking on us not having the resources or the will to fight for voting rights. They want us to be resigned and demoralized while their voter suppression machine grinds on.

"Resilience" denotes the ability of people, communities, countries, indeed the world, to endure climate change. It is closely related to adaptation ("managing the unavoidable," in Nicholas Stern's memorable formulation).4 However, conceived as a palliative, like carbon capture, it distracts from the need to defossilize the world's economies and societies. Guenther explains how resilience has become used at times as an anti-woke ideological trope, coopted by fossil energy interests to extend the status quo and avert what is actually needed, namely, transformation, as opposed to some fine-tuning adjustments. A sustainable world involves fundamental changes to how society functions, including changes to underlying values, worldviews, ideologies, social structures, political and economic systems, and power relationships.17 Concluding her tour-de-force of a book, Genevieve Guenther exhorts the reader that "in the end, it is your soul to whom you are NOTE 1.

The natural science understanding of the climate crisis, of the biodiversity crisis, of the plastics crisis, of the pollution crisis, is detailed and granular. Professionally, this understanding is uncontested; politically, it is challenged; and psycholog-ically, it is resisted, because humans are status quo oriented and not wired to worry about dangers that seem far away. There are psychological explanations-for example, loss aversion, moral disengagement, and self-efficacy 2,33-for why the scientific evidence of climate change does not translate into action. Humans also like to believe those who tell them things are going to be all right, or that governments will do what is needed. This brings me to Genevieve Guenther, who, in her engag-ing, fabulous, angry, hopeful, and helpful book The Language of Climate Politics deciphers this ostensibly perplexing situation and intrepidly battles deception and topic fatigue. Who really is responsible for the crisis, "happy to destroy a livable climate to gain more profit and power"? Guenther's method-forensic linguistic analysis—is illuminating and even fun for those who enjoy decoding words and how they are used as well as abused by climate predators. Five chapters have a one-word headline (Alarmist, Cost, Growth, Innovation, Resilience), and a sixth has two words (India and China). They dissect the buzzwords employed to muddy the public discourse by the climate deniers of yesteryear or by their contemporary incarnation, climate delayers. These

I'm hugely grateful for this incredible review of my book in the journal Environment, which calls *The Language of Climate Politics* a "tour-de-force of a book" — "engaging, fabulous, angry, hopeful, and helpful ... illuminating and even fun." 😭

A Venezuelan Is Missing. The U.S. Deported Him. But to Where? (Gift Article) The immigrant does not appear on a list of people sent to a prison in El Salvador, and his family and friends have no idea of his whereabouts. He has essentially disappeared.

“He has simply disappeared,” said a friend.

“I have not heard of a disappearance like this in my 40-plus years of practicing and teaching immigration law.,” said one law prof. “This case represents a black hole where due process no longer exists."

This is the last time I’m going to post about this because it just makes me sob each time.

My brother died last year from cancer he got as a result of the toxic burn pits in Iraq.

That the same government that put him and others in harm’s way would turn its back on them now is treason and murder.

Strongly worded truth is painful but necessary

Trump now invoking the widely recognized “following the law is too much work” exception to due process. Courts usually HIGHLY sympathetic to this argument. 🙄

Oh honey you could have helped stop it but you had to sell books. The Nixon Woodward you are not.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

They're just thirsty as fuck on so many different levels.

Harvard University Sues Trump Administration Harvard’s lawsuit comes after the administration sought to force the university to comply with a list of demands by cutting billions in federal funding the school receives.
