I love nature and art. Dark-eyed juncos and McKay's buntings. Native plants, mushing, reading, writing, watercolor, glitter, and art messes. Justice.

If you're one of those who's swallowed the lie that "plants and trees are having a party with all the increased CO2 in the atmosphere and flourishing, it's all good", please read this.

Natural ecosystems ARE vital allies in the fight against climate breakdown, but that can only go so far.
When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive

The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years

Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago
56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly
It could be a sign of what’s to come.

A MAGA grandpa in Wyoming called 911 and told the operator to “call ICE” on an Amazon delivery driver simply for speaking Spanish.

“There’s this guy in front of my house who can’t speak English. You need to call ICE on him.”

☠️ The Economist: Russia lost 1% of its pre-war male population in Ukraine.

In total, Russian losses in dead and wounded amounted to between 1 million and 1.35 million soldiers.

Over the past three years, Russia has been able to occupy an additional 1.45% of Ukrainian territory.

I am working with Sen. Graham to pass legislation to help bring home thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia. Standing with Ukraine means confronting the cruelty of taking kids from their families and making clear why we must stay united against Putin’s aggression.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

The regime has named the illegal, fascist occupation of New Orleans by ICE and CBP "Catahoula Crunch". Activists bought the domain name & it now directs people to local & national resources for those directly dealing with this daily terror.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

If Virginia Democrats follow through with a new 10-1 congressional map and a couple of other Dem states make small changes, Trump's gambit to rig the 2026 maps will be remembered as an epic blunder.

The Trump-Vance admin's agenda and Project 2025 are one and the same. But we're pushing back.

I joined @npr.org's @kalwradio.bsky.social to discuss the work we're doing at @democracyforward.org to challenge these unlawful policies on behalf of the American people every day.

Mockler: I used to go to Trump rallies and I would debate with his supporters. There was this one woman… I asked her who her favorite podcaster was. She said Dan Bongino. I asked her if she would vote for Putin or Kamala if she could choose. She said I'd vote for Vladimir Putin…

Mamdani: Oftentimes when we win elections, we tell people to go home and just trust us. But the message really has to be that we want you to come along with us… That’s something we’ve been looking to share with New Yorkers: We want to not only win with New Yorkers, but also govern with New Yorkers.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.
