If anyone says that we can disagree politically and still be friends, they are wrong. If you believe we should starve people, not care for the desperate, or sit in silence as a corrupt billionaire weaponizes the government, then, no, we simply cannot be friends.

The sun is so majestic as it peaks over the hills in the morning. We exist as moments in time compared to nature. Imagine if we could live in harmony!

There is so much that needs to change in our world. Personally, I find the foundational principles of eco socialism to be more in sync with the needs of our time. We need to convert to a system that harmonizes human and ecological sustainability recognizing diversity, and culture.

Welcome to a new sunrise. Another day to try and change the world for the better. Small contributions add up.

The hippies believed they were living in a transformative period where people finally stood up against a system that no longer fit real and authentic, wholesome life.

I believe the world needs that. I do not side with any nation any longer. We need to all address these global issues together.

I believe that it will divide the Republican Party which is similar to the Green Party shifting votes from Democrats. Expanding fascism however is never a good thing.

The United States is well into transition from “The Land of the Free”, into “The Land of Opression and Authoritarian Rule.” I can remember not long ago where America stood for the Bill of Rights and the ability for anyone anywhere to have a voice.

I was just told by someone that I should get my news on X. That it was how I could stay informed with reliable information. 🤮

So swimming in bacteria and polluted rivers do not help? Apparently that is the guidance of the US.

Eliminating or gutting the government organizations such as the National Park Service that brings in more money than it spends is like refusing to work because it costs money to get to work. What is happening is privatizing public lands.

Technology has a place, but has proven time and again that education fails if people are removed from the equation.

Doctors and scientists have been studying the causes for autism since the 1920s. RFK stated that he will solve it by September. Apparently we should have just asked the lawyer all along. Who knew?

I would argue as someone retired from 23 years of military service that this is gross negligence. I am glad it happened however. It shows the lack of empathy and human dignity that these people have.

Greenpeace ordered to pay more than $660m for defaming oil firm in protests Greenpeace has warned it could be forced into bankruptcy because of the case brought by Energy Transfer.

The message being clearly sent is to not protest industrial pollution.

Good point. The current president may decide to complete a takeover.

Trump directs government to ask for bond in lawsuits challenging policies President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aimed at imposing potentially steep costs on parties that seek to block his policies in court.

Does it seem legal, or even Constitutional that someone cannot bring charges against the legality of Trumps actions unless they are able to pay a bond up front? Wouldn’t this impact due process?

The rich now own a record share of stocks The U.S. market is simultaneously at its most democratized — and most unequal — point on record.

When you are blasted every single day about stock market performance, it is important to note based on reports from the federal reserve that the wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of all of US stock market wealth. When the prices drop, that is when they buy.

An IMF study between 1963-2014 of 151 countries proves how tariffs are bad for the working class and poor.

“Tariff increases result in more unemployment, higher inequality, and real exchange rate appreciation, but only small effects on the trade balance.”

"Human rights protect the freedom to pursue political goals, but when they are conflated with political goals they can be used to violate the rights of those who oppose them."

Sending prayers to Orebro Sweden where a mass shooting took place at a school. The worst so far in their history.

We are living in very stressful and chaotic times. The stress of cultural change and global power shifts are wrecking havoc on societies.

I apologize for missing the “is” after “council”. (Jeremy, get your grammar right!) I just read about this and am thumbing my post and didn’t want to delete and start over.

Vote for world peace and never give up on a push for human rights! I realize that it takes honest people to protect it!
