Arizona’s iconic ponderosa pine forests are disappearing The ponderosa pine forests of northern Arizona are one of the state’s natural treasures. But they’re disappearing. The data is stark: We could lose up to 90% of the ponderosa pines across the Southwes...

We are losing Arizona's Ponderosa forests. The Legislature needs to do more. www.kjzz.org/the-show/202...

Wanna see how AI could break the internet and corrupt human recorded knowledge?

I mean, in addition to how it is wasting tons of water in the desert and shifting power costs to your monthly bill. youtu.be/_zfN9wnPvU0?...

Thank you, Jane.

For all that you've done.

For causing us to see the damage that we do to ourselves when we treat the earth, the very environment that sustains us, so poorly. substack.com/@poemz/note/...

Big hearts out to Portlanders.

From your lips...

There are still many folks out there who will not learn from their terrible decisions until it affects them. This is awful, but there will be more people turning against the cyrbaby creamsicle after this.

Week Without Driving — Urban Phoenix Project

Day one of Week without Driving. Doing well so far. I've got meetings later in the week. I'm hoping I can get to at least some on bike.

Are you trying this challenge this week? www.urbanphoenixproject.org/wwd2025

And Maher helped push us there by adding to the vilification of the left.

The Lumber Industry Doesn't Want You to Read This ...Or so this title would read if this were a social media ad.

Why I am Leaving Real Estate in 2026 And how the National Association of Realtors failed again

The Substack, for reference. open.substack.com/pub/getyourp...

This longtime Phoenix realtor is quitting as investors take over neighborhoods There was a lot Ken Clark liked about being a realtor. Now he’s letting his license expire as Wall Street turns Phoenix neighborhoods into commodity markets.

After I published my Substack on why I'm leaving real estate, @kjzz.org reached out to me for an interview.

I’m mad at myself for not working my suggested bumper sticker in to the interview: “My Neighborhood is Not Your Wall Street.” www.kjzz.org/the-show/202...

We are losing our technological and industry edge to this regime.

Now they are setting carbon reduction targets that the will likely exceed.

Meanwhile, the US is sucking its collective, fossil fuel-soaked thumb.

China Sets First Climate Emissions Cut Target Analysts cast it as a cautious step that accompanies a rapid expansion of clean energy.

It's never been an honest response to climate goals in the US to say that we should not have them because "cHiNaaaaa!"

China is eclipsing the rest of the world in terms of new clean energy they are installing.

Be sure to see which media is reporting on this.

Bob Iger has a real chance to be a hero here and say “Fuck you. Make me.” to the FCC by reinstating Kimmel.

I’ll sign back up for Disney+ if he does. Until then, keep canceling your subscriptions!

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but I refuse to be silent. I’m canceling Disney until ABC reinstates Jimmy Kimmel. #BoycottDisneyABC

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Forest Health Revisited An update to my 2019 interview with forester Stephen Pyne.

Forest Health in Arizona is complicated, but also not. Utilities like Salt River Project do an admirable job supporting forest health. But the State of Arizona needs to do more.

See my latest Substack on some of the myths and solutions of forest health in Arizona. open.substack.com/pub/getyourp...

As more info comes in this needs to be said: if it wasn’t some left wing radical that did it, and it appears it wasn’t, there need to be massive pushback because they are STILL pretending it’s some culture war and it is only in their own minds

Dangerous times

He wants to go see the pyramid.

I know, I know. We are fighting an administration for which facts don't matter. But we need to keep saying this so more regular people talk about it.

Oh, and release the Epstein files.

A ‘lethal threat’: why the far right sees more scrutiny than the left Security officials and scholars across the political spectrum agree that far-right movements vice left have caused most recent domestic political violence.

Interesting reminder from this article in Military Times (that bastion of leftie activism) that far right groups in the US commit much more violence than far left groups.

I always feel a little crazy for bringing it up, but the GOP does it as an insult, and/or their followers are uneducated. So, I get a little focused on not allowing that to spread. Thanks for understanding!

I absolutely agree. One request, though. It seems like a small thing, but we must not fall in to the GOP trolling tactic of calling it the "Democrat" party, or "Democrat" lawmakers.

It is "Democratic" with an -ic.

The intentional grammatical error is an insult, and too many people accept this.

Climate activist isn’t giving up fight This is part of a monthly series highlighting Arizona’s climate lead

It's people like Hazel Chandler who inspire me. While facing down an aggressive cancer, Hazel is still fighting for others against a monstrous climate catastrophe.

Trump's clean energy reversal puts Arizona solar projects worth $1.6B at risk | Arizona Mirror Arizona solar projects Trump policy threatens $1.6 billion investments as federal approval rules tighten nationwide

FACT: Solar and wind are the cheapest form of energy and 90%+ of all new energy projects now are clean --for that reason.

FACT: Trump is ceding our nation's leadership in clean energy to China and other countries, while assuring higher energy costs for us all.

NEW: Arizona Republicans filed an ethics complaint against me for resharing a post when masked, armed men showed up outside a school. They want to lock me out of the Senate and stop me from doing my job. This is a straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
