From elders struggling with high electric bills to lost economic development opportunities, Trump’s gutting of Solar for All is felt by all on northern plains reservations.
ALERT: The Boundary Waters are under threat. A new proposal in Congress would open up this iconic wilderness area to copper mining, a process that could poison its lakes and streams with heavy metals and toxic runoff.

"Why is it harder to make and share art during times of crisis, when art is needed even more?"
One smart writer's thoughts (Sam Sharp) on the conundrums, insecurities, and importance of creating art during a time of crisis. LOTR memes abound.
