Murray Bookchin used to speak of the "fecundity" of nature (or the universe if you will). Basically, nature has the capacity to create complexity because we see plenty of it in the little corner of the universe we inhabit. www.quantamagazine.org/why-everythi...

There is zero doubt that she is right to say this. That said, in no way does that excuse the piss poor campaign run by the Democratic party (with her at the lead). With Democracy on the line, the Harris campaign decided to highlight her relationship with...Liz Cheney as a strategy.

Consider this re: Greenland. As the ice melts, it will be easier to access the rare earth mineral deposits sitting under the sheets. Trump, the fascist tech bros, etc. are counting on the effects of global warming to make their eventual land grab worthwhile.

I wish Gavin Newsome had this energy when he had Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk in front of him but go ahead liberal King...I guess.

Even in times of deep social and political turmoil, take some time each day to learn about the planet you inhabit. Ecological wisdom is more important than ever. Don't let the fascists erase scientific discovery and knowledge. Be a citizen scientist. Remember that we ourselves are nature.

🚨Important study published in Nature🚨 Anthropogenic pressures are causing losses in species diversity, which is leading to an increase in "compositional turnover", particularly in fungi and microbial communities. The effects of this could be Earth changing. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Tech Fascists: We shall weaken the nation, destroy the economy, replace the dollar with crypto, replace people with AI, and create new Network State cities everywhere. Normie Journalists: Folks, this is total chaos and incompetence with no structure or plan.

Steve Bannon can't even be taken seriously as a populist because he not only excuses every single Trump maneuver that is anti labor, he was an architect of the Peter Thiel takeover of the government. Steve Bannon is nothing but a faux populist who sucks up to Silicon Valley.

3 things to consider: 1) DOGE has already done quite a bit of damage. 2) Elon will not be gone. He'll likely continue to insert himself into politics in the US and globally. 3) The Tech Bros behind Trump (Peter Thiel, David Sachs, etc) are still pushing their agenda behind the scenes.

Democracy will continue to be taken for granted until pro-democracy organizations and politicians present a better vision of what democracy is. Right now, if you ask the average person what democracy is, they will likely tell you "voting for your leadership" is democracy.

As I read this, I am reminded of a quote from Robin Wall Kimmerer's book Braiding Sweetgrass telling the Anishinaabe creation story of Nanabozho, whose "role was not to control or change the world as a human, but to learn from the world how to be human"

Murray Bookchin would be proud.

Let's not forget that the main appeal of Greenland for these people is the shipping lanes opened by the melting of the polar ice. These guys, while publicly denying climate change, secretly are counting on its effects.

Ultimately, what will define Cory Booker and Democrats moving forward is whether Booker's actions will act as a catalyst for further action or will serve as a one-off action, which would be a waste. These acts should ultimately be part of a disciplined and well organized strategy.

Always remember that the current forces of evil who are winning do not believe climate change is real, and through their denialism will ultimately set the table for their own demise. The side with a better understanding of nature will ultimately prevail.
