I honestly did not in any way enjoy the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence last night.

Here's why:

My congressman,Sam Graves, hasn’t had a townhall since 2012.

We are having them in his absence.

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

@la28games.bsky.social - When you were awarded to LA, CM Koretz & Mayor Garcetti pushed you hard for the most enviro-progressive, most climate-friendly Olympics ever.

We still expect that to occur.

Especially now.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

My Wordle yesterday.

The actual way to test if leaders are Godly or not.

Would they?

Or are they driven by it?

LA area fires: Climate change playing key contributing, but not sole, role Global warming makes wildfires like the LA County blazes more severe, likely and frequent, studies show.

“The bottom line: Climate change didn't provide the spark that caused each of these catastrophic fires in LA County. But it's making such fires worse.”

#Woolsey taught us what happens when the rains come.

Toxic plastics, pesticides, chemical cleaners... all in the air and groundwater.

And when it rains, it will drain into the ocean.

Why fires spread quickly in modern cities ― and how to slow them Research also suggests how to make homes more resilient in the aftermath of California’s deadly blazes.

"The Los Angeles area received abnormally large amounts of rain in 2023 and early 2024, promoting plant growth. But less than 1 millimetre has fallen since 1 July, and all that brush and grass dried into tinder"

The Overstory by Richard Powers is stunning.

Flagstaff author Kevin Fedarko inspires the #CRWUA (Colorado River Water Users Association) conference with why care of Grand Canyon "requires a level of humility and nobility that is worthy of the landscape itself."

And left a large room of water experts utterly speechless.

Bravo!
