Not just veterans — healthy food housing and healthcare should be guaranteed for ALL people.
Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

Having all our utility lines on poles in the air seems incredibly stupid to me. If utilities had started decades ago to transition to underground lines that investment would have been paid back long ago.

It might be true that the world needs to remove ten billion tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere every year but it’s never going to happen for many different reasons: technical, financial, social, environmental, governance, etc. If we don’t reduce CO₂ emissions, we’re screwed. That’s it.

10bn tonnes must be captured from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström

The critical thing is that "gross emissions" go down rapidly, to near zero in 2050 or so, for ~1.5°C. This is how you solve the climate problem.
That green slither of carbon dioxide removal is a nice to have, not a do-or-die requirement.
Focus on reducing emissions.

Based on what I’ve seen over and over again for the past 50 years, it might take the Dem leadership a long time to figure out what they stand for — if anything.
Fighting against Trump isn’t enough. It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way. This week was a good start. Here's what else they need to do. https://youtu.be/Uzc57eD3cWI?si=fLGGWBf468q4aacc

I just finished rereading Susan Abulhawa’s brilliant novel Mornings In Jenin, which I hadn’t read since it was first published. In addition to being a great story, it’s a great way to learn more about the Nakba and the continuing deranged violence of the Israelis.

And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.
