ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.

At a time when so many powerful people are bending the knee to Donald Trump, it’s incredibly important that we lift up acts of resistance. Yesterday, the celebrated editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit the Washington Post when they killed the cartoon below. This is what courage looks like.
