Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Yes! I’d love to see this too.

Notable bit from the @midcoastvillager.bsky.social piece on Mills-Platner. tinyurl.com/f4rs7r5h #MEpolitics

America’s super-rich are running down the planet’s safe climate spaces, says Oxfam Data shows wealthiest 0.1% of the US burn carbon at 4,000 times the rate of the world’s poorest 10%

”Since that 2015 global deal, the world’s richest 1% have burned through more than twice as much of the remaining carbon budget as the poorest half of humanity combined, says the report.”

Isn’t it odd that Gates thinks mitigation is pointless?

I stopped listening to Bill Gates years ago. You should stop too.

Instead, I would listen to *real* experts who know about *real* climate solutions — not tech fantasies.

You would then quickly see how these solutions can improve lives and help vulnerable communities thrive across the world.

Bless This Church For Defying Greg Abbott Dear Humans,

This is good trouble.

GOD BLESS THIS CHURCH!

One thing that’s been wild about Mamdani’s candidacy is that so many liberals are now seeing what the MENA and Muslim population have had to live with our entire lives. That even other minorities can turn to Islamophobia and racism, that even the most liberal yt folks do too. As he said, (con)

There’s about a million reasons to not buy from Amazon but hers one more.

My latest HNE blog post. People have a need to share their climate experience and through that sharing we can build connection and take collective action.

We don’t have to give them the clicks though.

I wish he just register as a Republican already and get it over with.

I came here to post basically exactly the same comment that it makes me want to throw up.

I couldn’t even get through the first few paragraphs of that article. I don’t know what planet this person is living on, but it’s not the same one that I watch Star Trek on.

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.

That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.

The terrorists must be so pleased.

TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,

while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.

These words could have been written yesterday.

Covid & Cancer There is now compelling medical evidence that Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, and trigger the growth of secondary cancers.

This charity has put out info to warn those w a history of cancer to take precautions against covid as it can reactivate cancers v quickly it seems
Obviously other viruses can also increase cancer risks but perhaps not so quickly?
Eg EBV

As ever more research needed

Cortlands are my fave. Love them!

I wrote in my blog post today that we need more public displays of empathy and care. We need to show that this response is the norm instead of the cruelty that we’re seeing. I include some suggestions in my blog post. #empathy #mutualaid #communitycare #maine

“If you’re still here, feeling, thinking, and hoping for a way out of this, if you’re still holding onto your values and each other, it’s not over. If you are still breathing and trying, it’s not over.”

I don’t know why some people struggle with the idea that other folks experience life differently. What you find tedious, someone else cherishes as ritual or routine. This is basic people stuff y’all.

A white millennial man said some racist and sexist stuff...and...??? | Shay Stewart-Bouley From the moment that Maine oysterman Graham Platner announced his bid to unseat Republican Susan Collins from her U.S. Senate seat, the political world and Maine have been on fire. Within hours of dro...

Donald Trump’s Deep-State Wrecking Ball Russell Vought is using the White House budget office to lay waste to the federal bureaucracy—firing workers, decimating agencies, and testing the rule of law.

🚨NEW: After we revealed Russ Vought's "put them in trauma" video, I spent the next year reporting on him, his influence, and his vision for America.

Yes, I got *new* recordings & videos of Vought.

Here is the story.
