Reminiscent of large banners of the Turkmenbashi on buildings around Ashgabad. We can talk all day about how he “doesn’t mean it”, that it’s for show, but even then this is not what we want. We must continue to speak out, gather together, build community, and not be afraid to do these things.

My second favorite sign from yesterday

There’s also: Super callous fragile bigot. Help us, he’s atrocious

Thanks for the update my friend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

I don't care what your party affiliation is, I don't even care anymore if you voted for Trump or not. It doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that our country is under attack from within. There is a fillibuster currently going on on the Senate Floor. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Very calming. Thanks for sharing

Helpful!

We cannot excuse, explain away, divert attention from, or gloss over what things actually are. @ADL do better, stand in the breach, not to the side as evil expands.

“One of the curses of history
is that we cannot go back and change the course leading
to disasters, no matter how much we might wish to.
The past has its own terrible inevitability.
But it is never too late to change the future."

In Farewell Address, Biden Warns of an ‘Oligarchy’ Taking Shape in America President Biden did not explicitly name President-elect Donald J. Trump, but his remarks went straight at the tension at the heart of the incoming White House.

Between the Lines of Jack Smith's Final Report The Jack smith report does more than outline Trump's crimes; it lays bare the delays inherent in the system - and if we don’t address them - no AG will be able to hold future despots accountable.

South Korea was prepared to deal with their dictator because they have better laws, which we will fail to fix here if we keep blaming Garland instead of the system he was bound by. Jack Smith is trying to tell us. We should listen. www.muellershewrote.com/p/between-th...

My mantra for 2025:

Show up every day, do the next best thing, realize you won't get to everything. You might not be able to change anything, but persevere. Always work to understand the truth and help others see it. Be kind, but don't accept being steamrolled.

The meaning of pay to play

Pam Bondi and the Pay-to-Play Justice System The entire history of the attorney general nominee reveals a comfort with basing prosecutorial discretion on money, power, and proximity to the president.

As cabinet nomination hearings begin today, I'm focused on Pam Bondi's tomorrow. While there hasn't been much talk about her, nobody exemplifies more of a willingness to pervert the mission of her office to the ends of the president.

What Blue States Can Do if Trump and Republicans Withhold Disaster Aid Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have threatened to withhold disaster aid from California. What recourse does the state have if they do?

I wrote about how Trump withholding disaster aid would affect blue states and what they could do to push back for @rollingstone.com

Just because the cases were not completed doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about and remember this moment, this travesty, and never forget it.

My brother Jack's report just got released

2024 Brought the World to a Dangerous Warming Threshold. Now What? Global temperatures last year crept past a key goal, raising questions about how much nations can stop the planet from heating up further.

Someone once asked me how I avoid sinking into hopelessness as an environmental professional. Truth is, the only way to fight climate change, the orange Cheeto, greed, fascism, corruption, is to start small, do one thing, then another, and another, and don’t stop. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Red tailed hawk on our doorstep. We think she hit the window by accident and had to land to gather her wits. She was fine in the end and flew away shortly after we took this picture.
