We need to absolutely ban this.

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Peace is a climate solution. Energy efficiency, renewables & walkability are peace building in that they weaken one excuse for war.

An exhausting feeling is realizing how many of those times I felt like men in high places didn't see me as fully human was I likely correct. Not imagination. Just probability as we get these ugly little windows into emails and locker rooms.

She’s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota – she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town – now donations are pouring in, and families’ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

In Scottish folklore, the song thrush is a positive omen, representing joy, hope, and the arrival of spring. Known for its, loud, melodic song, it is often regarded as a herald of light, contrasting with the dark winter months.

The Department of Justice has illegally “withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor."

The biggest coverup in presidential history just got worse.

Release the files.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

"They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." — FDR, 1936 #PresidentsDay

Another day another chance to meet crisis from a different worldview than the one that created it. Be weird. Be experimental. Be bold. Be connected and brave and remember that what lasts in this complex swirl of life and matter is what fits in and flows and balances taking and giving.

How snowboarder Bea Kim fights climate change through her words and wardrobe The 19-year-old U.S. snowboarding star is fighting climate change to help protect the planet and the sport she loves.

Bea Kim is an Olympian, @protectourwinters.bsky.social member + climate advocate.

“The world is changing. Glaciers are melting that we’re riding on. Each year we wonder if there will even be enough snow for us to do what we love. I couldn't watch it happen and not say anything about it,” she says.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.

When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.

And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

The flower’s center is a dense cluster of tiny yellow disk florets. The bloom is surrounded by silvery-green foliage and photographed from directly above, showing perfect symmetry.

Here’s your moment of zen

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Analysis: UK newspaper editorial opposition to climate action overtakes support for first time - Carbon Brief Nearly 100 UK newspaper editorials opposed climate action in 2025, a record figure that reveals the backlash against net-zero in the right-leaning press

Two things to learn from this.
1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors.
2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie.
