Their greed is grotesque. These seven words, especially so: "...requiring the sale of public natural resources." We need Seven Generations Stewardship, not a fire sale of everything we hold dear and would never get back.

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.”

They are straight up speed-running the resegregation of the federal government and the erasure of all non-white male history

This part of the @mehdirhasan.bsky.social interview with Ms Rachel popped up for me again, and I just felt like I needed to share it. "Thank you for seeing our children as human." Every life is a universe.

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

"North Atlantic right whales are among the world's most endangered whale species. More than 140 of them have been killed or injured since 2017. Now only 370 whales, including 70 breeding females, remain on Earth." Tell Trump and his administration to leave these critical whale protections alone. 🐋

"Definitely not tears on my face, it’s this goddamn cold spring rain. It’s the grass so green out back it hurts my eyes." 💚

"AI DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING... Generative AI is a consumer. It eats and eats and eats. And all it can do with that is either throw it back up, or shit it out. And neither its shit nor its barf are nutritious. Stop using it."

From the beautiful book, The Dog Who Followed the Moon, by James Norbury.

"Public lands are a sacred heritage that shouldn't be peddled to the highest bidder as plots for McMansions or to be destroyed by mining & logging... for private profit & tax breaks for Trump's billionaire cronies. It's more important than ever to protect these precious places & Congress can do it."

Grateful this book found me.

⚠️ The Amazon's powerful ability to regulate climate is under threat ⚠️ Illegal mining and industrial-scale agriculture are cutting and burning down vast areas of forests for a quick profit. Add your name to demand global leaders #RespectTheAmazon act.gp/4c12sje

The plan is to break the parks, claim they must be privatized, take them from the American people and give them to their friends.

"When we stand together, we stand stronger than the corporations destroying the Amazon rainforest—and forests around the world."

Gaza’s Health Ministry urges the UN to declare a famine, saying 92% of children and pregnant women now suffer from severe malnutrition. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/jj8tvo

An antidote to facism is more community.

The Trump administration issued a proposed rule that would rescind nearly all habitat protections for endangered species nationwide. You can't protect animals and plants from extinction without protecting the places they live. Please, add your voice by May 16 ➡️ biodiv.us/3YOLBe6

A wink from the universe to remind us of our interconnectedness, and the power of love. #Inosculation #StrongerTogether #ArborDay

“One way to stop seeing trees, or rivers, or hills only as ‘natural resources’ is to class them as fellow beings—kinfolk.” --Ursula K. Le Guin, 2014 #EarthDay

"When you wake up and you see that the Earth is not just the environment, the Earth is us, you touch the nature of interbeing. And at that moment you can have real communication with the earth. That is the highest form of prayer." — Thich Nhat Hanh #EarthDay

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Your videos are brilliant! Three women are killed by their husbands/partners/exes each day in America. I can't believe the narrative that undocumented people are dangerous & violent against girls & women keeps going unchallenged. sanctuaryforfamilies.org/femicide-epi...

My friend's student asks me to share: The administration is trying to destroy the Endangered Species Act from within. Public commenting is basically the only way to thwart this rule before getting to court. If you have a few minutes to comment: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FW...

In a world of darkness, be a light for liberty. #DoSomething "And that is all anyone can do as we work to preserve the concept of human self-determination. In that heroic struggle, most of us will be lost to history, but we will, nonetheless, move the story forward, even if just a little bit."

Yesterday, I called a barred owl into our backyard. It was something I'd only ever done once before. It stayed and played in the hemlocks with us, encircling and swooping over heads raised in wonder and awe. I will never forget it. Grateful my young grandsons were there, and very grateful for this.💚

“…they’ll never write a poem.” This isn’t accurate about autistic kids, but it is about kids who get shot & killed at school.

My heart breaks and my blood boils that this is being done in our name. Trump's regime of murderous monsters. Every single one of them gleefully guilty. "Catherine says, in a low, flat voice as a tear traces its way down her cheek. 'I've heard that there are many millions of people going to die.'"

NEW: In a major move, the Trump administration is aiming to redefine what it means to "harm" an endangered species The regulatory rollback opens the door to more logging, mining, oil & gas drilling, home construction and other ecologically damaging ventures www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

If you're going to bring down fascism you can't pretend the problem you're confronting is inflation.

" ..feeling good right now also feels somehow bad, and maybe that’s one of the most fucked up things of all. They didn’t take joy but they took the joy of feeling joy away, made it feel wrong and strange. Turned happiness into a hot stove." 🎯
