β€œPresident Trump and Elon Musk really have altered the structure of things. They’ve taken steps that cannot be so easily reversed. If American constitutional democracy is a game, then they’ve flipped the board with the aim of using the same pieces to play a new game with their own boutique rules.”

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.

Trump signs order to pull US out of Paris climate agreement amid deadly, costly disasters | CNN Trump’s day-one actions on energy come as climate change-fueled fires ravage Southern California, following the globe’s hottest year on record.

BREAKING: President Trump is set to sign a number of anti-environmental executive orders.

Trump is trying to ban clean energy and gut environmental protections to make Big Oil happy.

These actions will lead to dirtier air and water, increased energy costs, and worse quality of life for all.

Get used to this playbook again, America

1) Trump says something outrageous/stupid/dangerous

2) Dems say, "Geez that thing Trump said was outrageous/stupid/dangerous"

3) Fox News hits Dems for "melting down" while minimizing the outrageous/stupid/dangerous thing Trump said

President Biden Commutes Death Sentences of Nearly Everyone on Federal Death Row 12.23.24

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame.

You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way.

If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

President Biden and Vice President Harris can cement equality into their legacy by publishing the Equal Rights Amendment. Getting the ERA published now would be a huge win because not only does it guarantee equality regardless of sex, it also provides a critical legal tool.

Deaconesses are still here – let’s invest in them too! | UMNews.org A distinctly separate order from deacons, deaconesses and home missioners serve in a wide variety of full-time lay ministries for the church.

I am a Deaconess/Home Missioner Candidate.

In the words of Deaconess Katelin Hansen, β€œToday, our order is thriving. Our order is growing. Our order and the ministry of laypeople deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated, not co-opted and erased.” #WeAreStillHere #LoveJusticeService #DHM

The Monopolies Behind Your Thanksgiving Dinner β€” Food & Power One company sells 80% of all canned pumpkin, one cooperative sells 70% of all cranberry sauce, and two companies sell 60% of all carrots. That’s not great for fair prices or resiliency.

I survived Katrina only to end up in the path of Helene. Now, nowhere feels safe. "I wanted to live somewhere where this would never happen again."

Hear the story of a woman who lived through both Katrina and Helene. She shares about the scale of loss.

"It’s a very wearing and taxing thing to live in a place that doesn’t work anymore."
