Climate refugee living in reality in the PNW

Retired from serving the People of America as a California Public Defender (Trial lawyer) for 25 years.

Rescue Dogs are the best.

I post pictures and videos for fun.

Momento Mori
Resist

This is the fundamental conflict of our time.

Resist any who don’t respect the right to exist.
“We’ll take our stand for this great land and the stranger in our midst.”
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is the exact moment showing what Alex Pretti was doing when he was pepper sprayed, tackled and killed by ICE thugs. He did not attack anyone or brandish anything.

If you say he did you are a filthy liar and working for the fascists.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

In the United States of America a federal judge had to tell the federal government not to destroy evidence in a murder investigation. WTF 🤬

thread of the day.

yes, even with everything else going on.
It has been clear for decades now that politicians, businesses, and the public are failing to make the obvious link between climate impacts we can be highly certain are coming and what they are likely to mean at the societal, economic, and security level.

Canada took down the United States at Davos, leading the way for others to confront the US threat:

"You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

This is the beginning of the end of the US.
