Imagine if Kamala Harris had won and excepted a $400 million dollar plane from a foreign monarchy. Seriously, just take a minute and imagine that.

ay

I grew up with a deep respect for land, water, & the planet we call home. I’ve always worked so future generations have a bright future with clean energy jobs as well as clean air, water and landscapes. As Governor, I’ll continue that fight. I'm grateful to have @protectnm.bsky.social endorsement.

What a good question. I can’t understand why these people are taking a wrecking ball to the US and ultimately world economy, and to all life on the planet.

Sigh. Medicare (dis)"Advantage" is for-profit private insurance. I would NEVER willingly get it, despite its token carrots like covering acupuncture and chiropractic in some markets, or a bit of dental work. It's a rip off and they can deny you treatment for any capricious reason.

The cruelty is stunning. These are creatures who cannot put themselves in the place of humans that they are hurting.

It's nice to know that those of us who care and want to find solutions are not only not alone, but in the majority. Believing that we will find solutions, in time.

Let's remember that this planet is what sustains ALL LIFE including US. So, Let's Make This Earth Whole Again!!

I was wondering why we hadn't heard from or about Al Gore for a while. His 1989 book, "Earth in the Balance," was hugely influential on me. I bought it for my dad for Christmas and we both appreciated it ("enjoyed" is not quite the right word, though there was a lot more hope then).

Our next NM governor will fight and work for our lands, sacred to the Indigenous people here for millennia, and now for all of us who honor Mother Earth.

Hmmmm. Yes, interesting that they know that something against fascism is directed at them. I mean, who is FOR fasicsm?!

This is so important to understand, and not that difficult.

‘Earth Loses a Defender’: Pope Francis Fought for the Poor and the Planet @kiley.bsky.social reports for @insideclimatenews.org #news #environment EJ Today Headlines: www.sej.org/headlines/list insideclimatenews.org/news/2104202...

"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Good turnout in very blustery Santa Fe today; I didn’t get pics of the crowds but here are a few signs.

It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!

So glad they are going to places like Bakersfield that have long been known to be conservative. She is so smart and so full of heart. I used to teach in Bakersfield for the Healing Light Center Church back in the day a little over 30 years ago. They were always people who were open to Healing.

Calling my fellow faith leaders - how are you addressing this outrage? I'll be dedicating my Easter meditation/service to Kilmar, talking about his plight & the 100s (for now) of others in the same concentration camp. Jesus does NOT side w tyrants with blood on their hands/hatred in their hearts.

Indeed, a better world is possible. Let’s procreate a positive black swan event out of nowhere.

Very important article for understanding the current situation and possible ways to get out of it.

Bingo

Get this: Commerce is slashing $ to Princeton's world-renowned climate research b/c modeling changes to Earth systems is "contributing to a phenomenon known as 'climate anxiety,' which has increased significantly among America’s youth." No research, no problem! www.commerce.gov/news/press-r...

This has been going on for a long time, which is why I would never subscribe to those once-great newspapers. I was frequently published in L.A. Times back in the day, and had an op-ed warning about Reaganomics scheduled to be published but Iran-Contra broke and it was never published.

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

@maddow.msnbc.com Deb Haaland & 95 year old Dolores Huerta at the Hands Off Rally in Albuquerque, NM.

this is why collective action matters. this is the feeling that will power change. people need to be ready to receive those who are finding out they arent alone.

Hey, look, @harvard.edu and @columbiauniversity.bsky.social! It's really not that hard to say "NO" to dictators!

An important reminder as we approach Easter. I've been around cats all my life and only found this out maybe 15 years ago. We were lucky none of our cats ate plants.
