How broadcast TV networks covered climate change in 2025 Corporate broadcast networks again reduced climate coverage in 2025, marking the third year coverage has declined since the networks' high-water mark of 23 hours of reporting in 2022. A Media Matters ...

Another snowball effect happening in a civilization in denial. When we most needed it (and still do, we're thinking more and more of "something else".

Senate blocks resolution that would have restricted Trump's war in Iran The House is also expected to vote down a war powers resolution as Democrats and just a handful of Republicans push for Congress to assert its constitutional role in declaring war.

The Republicans reject the People again. Criminals aiding and abetting criminals. "The GOP-led Senate on Wednesday rejected a war powers resolution" www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Project much?

One religious fundamentalist fanatic commenting on other religious fundamentalist fanatics.

... define the concept of politics? This is what has happened to "Christian" or "Christianity". There still is a purpose & legitimacy to an authentic Christianity, regardless of how ruthlessly & obliviously it is abused by corrupt people and social structures. 2/

The site "Progressive Christianity" received a comment :
"Progressive Christianity...seems to be an oxymoron?"
So I commented in reply:
So, does "Progressive Politics" become an oxymoron because of the Trump Administration, since whoever is in power or shouts the loudest wins the right to ...1/

Just incredible inanity and obliviousness about masks. COVID masks were to protect ourselves from each other passing the virus. ICE wears them to cover up their intent to hurt others. Not hard to understand unless you refuse to accept reality.

Me, on Threads just now, responding to someone who buys the "freeing the people" BS of this Administration:

Just thinking about the movie "Spotlight". Made me long for the days when we had a dedicated media, unafraid to uncover vast wrongs. Not sure where The Boston Globe is with all that is happening, but we need a "Spotlight" on the Trump Administration.

The one who has no remaining ability to understand much of anything is holding forth on "Peace". He knows NOTHING but his own desires, which , as it has been shown us for decades. 2/

“The bombing would continue this week, President Trump said, until there is “peace throughout the Middle East.”
What utter, blind, stupidity. It is the ramping up of more evil.

The GOP has overseen and enabled the most decadent examples of this in our history. They think nothing of enslaving people who are what they see as "other", as well as their illusions that the earth itself is an "other". They are enablers of destruction and evil. 3/

...power and wealth hungry despots. The U.S. has coddled this base disrespect, and acquiesced to oligarchs,, putting the claims of "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people" to the lie. 2/

The acquiescence with warring Empires goes hand in hand with the Ecological sin of modern humanity, when true honoring of "Life" is traded for the empty promises (aka Lies) of "Peace and Prosperity". Empires have waged "war" on people deemed sacrifice worthy for a demonic cause of...1/

Pro-War and Anti Earth Care are NOT "Pro-Life". That is a LIE. It is the ultimate deception. It is heretical to the faith of Jesus, and an abomination to the people called by God's name.

Israel and the U.S. governments are demonic Empires. They are producing their own apocalypse, and dragging the world down with them. 2/

Any "Houses of Worship" not standing up for Peace and against this madness today and tomorrow are hertical to their faith, and have chased after idolatry. To fail to see this is to expose a complete lack of faithful understanding. 1/

They both protect only the narcissistic, oligarchic Empires of their "leadership". 3/

"Christian" and "Jewish" nations attack. Neither have anything to do with the faiths either of these nations are appropriating for their own evils. They are Empires pretending to "stand for" something that SOUNDS mighty and has anything like the protecting the people in mind. 2/

So the chaos deepens. Truly insane leadership. Demonic. Evil. Thanks , GOP. Thanks "Christian" Right. You read that right. Quotes around it. Because they're imposters. 1/

While hopelessness may be our greatest enemy, a well-founded hope may be humanity’s greatest advantage.”

While the scope of our global crisis, its environmental and social impacts, can produce a paralyzing despair, the realistic prospect of creating a world that works for all people and the environment can also impart hope. 2/

“We are in an unprecedented period of human history. For the first time, humanity has the potential to destroy the very capacity of our planet to sustain life. Yet it’s also the first time we’ve had the ability to create a truly ecological civilization. 1/

LOL.Perfect.

... interrelated interdependent balances. It has been in operation for far longer than there have been computers capable of what we know today as AI. And, to add insult to injury, the resources needed to run it exacerbates the problem. 2/

The worst sort of AI is the kind where humans apply technology according to the unlimited growth principle, so it has no regard for ecological costs of what they are doing. This is an entirely ARTIFICIAL, detached way to live on a planet that was formed out of ... 1/

My sense is that in '23 there was some respect remaining for law and some reasonable threat of blowback from obvious corruption. This no longer exists.
