Nat’l forests/parks are under attack. Nature needs help. As long as I have breath in my lungs and a way to put my feet in the woods, I will protect our rights. Seek and protect the trees. Lend your voice. Ents, Lorax, wardens of the land, we must protect the wild, quiet, unique spaces.

I'm stepping on the theme of Chris' book here but, we have an extremely toxic information environment controlled by wealthy oligarchs who have aligned themselves with Trump, the whole point is to manipulate people into making poor decisions. bsky.app/profile/chri...

i think anyone should be allowed to be a little angry at anyone who voted for a guy who said that immigrants are eating your pets in a widely publicized debate. but yeah the bigger failure here were journalists who just absolutely refused to tell you trump was lying about things like free ivf.

The DC press turns every story into a win or loss for the president. That's particularly nuts on a night like tonight when the House just voted to take food from millions of kids.

Anthony Hopkins once said: "Power doesn't change people, it just takes away the need to pretend. The righteous protects, the ambitious abuses, the insecure becomes a tyrant. It is not power that corrupts, it is the true face of each one that emerges when there is no longer fear of the consequences."

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.
