If you think this is ok, something is wrong with you. Explain an unelected, unvetted, unconfirmed, individual who hasn’t been subjected to the same security clearances or higher as these civil servants has the authority to do this?! This feels as if we are being attacked from…

The mass deportation of illegal immigrants is a racist purge of the Latino and Black communities. Notice no raids of the Russian community in Brighton Beach or the Irish community of Boston, where known undocumented immigrants regularly live. No European immigrant communities…

President Trump has halted ALL civil rights discrimination investigations in the department of justice. The police reform has been stopped as law enforcement has been given blanket immunity. Ironic as those criminals who attacked police on January 6 were pardoned. Political…

Hope feels scarce right now. Here's some, though: the story of the River Klamath's de-damming–– & the speed with which life has poured back to this "bountiful, beautiful watershed" once the river was freed. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j… “It's been more successful than we ever…

The jet stream that helped dump a foot of snow on the Gulf Coast is now accelerating over the Atlantic, helping fuel the strongest storm on record over Ireland with 100 mph gusts and 50 ft waves! It is so strong NOAA sent a hurricane hunter to Ireland to collect data! #Eowyn

Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇

15 years ago, a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court handed down the grotesque Citizens United decision, opening the spigot of unlimited dark money and outside spending in elections. And each year since, elections have become increasingly expensive and less transparent.

At 80 yrs old, Leonard Peltier is in his 49th year of incarceration. Even the prosecutor who helped put him in jail is asking for his release. He’s the longest-jailed Native American political prisoner in US history & one of the oldest ppl in federal prison. He’s also a…

I found this a mesmerising film; slow cinema of the finest kind. Made in 1971, it silently follows César Newashish, a 67yo Atikamekw man, as he makes a canoe using only a forest’s materials: birchbark, cedar splints, spruce-roots & gum. nfb.ca/film/cesars_ba… A miracle of craft.

In four days the United States will enter formally into an era of oligarchy without the rule of law. Americans have been prepared extensively for this transformation: bad education, deliberate ignorance, disinformation and hate propaganda have irrevocably poisoned civil society.

Hegseth lacks the normal qualifications for secretary of defense. His books reveal two ideas about what armed forces are for: a site to express Christian Reconstructionism and gender ideology; and a means to defeat other Americans inside America. Full essay link in image below

🌊 Post-dam removal, the Klamath River is healing fast! Hundreds of trees are being placed in key tributaries via helicopter, creating complex stream habitats—slower currents, deeper pools, & rich insect life for fish. 🎥Check out Swiftwater Films' new vid!youtube.com/watch?v=P2ygNE…

Growing up, my dad— who was a heroic pilot in the war— had an encyclopedic knowledge of politics & history. Living in NY, I thought he was part of the norm in America. I came to realize that the U.S. is filled with ignorant, selfish, bigoted hillbillies who despise intelligence.

The top image shows California Gulch flowing from AZ to Mex. It’s one of the last homes for the endangered Sonoran chub, a fish clinging to survival. But in the fall of 2024, this stream was obliterated. The bottom image is a stark and lifeless reminder of what was lost.
