Home Means Nevada, at least for now. I am known as a wanderer, but I somehow always end back here in Las Vegas. I heard someone described as a "pragmatic leftist" and I think that's me in a nutshell. I am in the fight for the planet and my grandkids....

Derailment warning as world faces threats to its ability to act on climate change We may have seriously underestimated the risks of climate change. This includes derailment risks. This does not mean we are doomed, and it certainly does not mean there is no point in trying to turn o...

Saying a single year exceeding 1.5Β°C warming doesn't mean the Paris Agreement has failed provides as much reassurance as the captain of the Titanic telling passengers that there is an important difference between 'sinking' and 'sunk'.

Why does everyone keep calling it β€œThe Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

ICE Barbie Says an Entire State’s Worth of Officials Are β€œLying” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is convinced, against all evidence, that Portland is a war zone.

β€œI … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Dear Senator Cortez Masto: Yeah, I am worried about my job status too (not sure if my office will be deemed "essential" or not). But I do know this: if I were in the Senate.I would have voted No on that funding bill. The health care of my fellow Nevadans is more important to me than a job.....

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

I haven't seen much about it on the national news, but much of the state government in Nevada has been shut down all week due to an apparent cyber attack. I have been trying to come up with a good conspiracy theory that links that to Trump's apparent disappearance. I am sure someone here can help;-)

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

EPA's plan to abandon all efforts to limit global warming endangers your health and the health of everyone you love. How the heck is that supposed to make America great?

The current occupant of the White House posted an AI video of President Obama being thrown to the ground, handcuffed, arrested by FBI agents in the Oval Office and then housed in a prison cell.⁣

And we just keep on rolling along as the madness spreads like toxic mold.

A line graph of world newspaper coverage of climate change or global warming from 2004 to 2025 in continents around the world.

A line graph of world newspaper coverage of climate change or global warming from 2004 to 2025 in continents around the world.

Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events.

The issue isn’t that there are revolting deranged bigots in America. The issue isn’t even that they have their own following. The issue is that they are prominent advisors and friends to the President of the United States and his team.

Make no mistake:

Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and β€˜ethnic cleansing.’

As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

this is literally a plan to do this, published in plain writing by the party that currently controls the government. if you want resistance to alarmism treated as an intellectual stance rather than an affective posture you'll need something in the vicinity of a reason

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayorβ€”what could be more NYC than that?"

The bill is still a mess but this is a win. Thank you, America. They heard you. House Republicans have dropped the provision that would’ve sold off 500,000 acres of public land in Utah and Nevada.

With republicans - it is always about inflicting the most pain in their policy.

This is horrifying - call your reps!

The GOP Budget includes a massive land grab in NV to pay for tax breaks for the rich. I just filed an amendment to strip this provision because we need to work together on a plan for responsible growth and keep $ from land sales in our state toΒ support education and conservation.
