When I say WE ARE EATING THE EARTH, I mean agriculture is eating the earth. Farms cover 40% of our land, and they’re overrunning a soccer field worth of forest every six seconds. When you eat a burger, you’re eating the Amazon.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

I think it's disgusting that the Times chose to try and rehabilitate these goons. What the article actually demonstrates is that the young Republicans are chock full of racists. The story chronicles the constant firing of staff because of their racist & white nationalist views.
William Hendrix wanted a life in politics. He found it, with the Young Republicans. Then, in October, texts were leaked from their group chat revealing racist, misogynistic and antisemitic language.

Even more than the fascism and white supremacy, the very core of MAGA is the endless drive to make us accomplices in Trump's own narcissism. Their primary ideological commitment is "Trump is great" and they will attack and punish us until we, too, admit Trump is great.
SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

Important developments. The Montana Supreme Court has played a really important role in heading off far-right conservatism in the state, so of course the Republican Party is weaponizing the ethics process to attack them.
Pretty alarming that Republican lawmakers in Montana are no longer even pretending to respect the state supreme court as part of a co-equal branch of government
Montana Republicans Are Trying to Hijack the Montana Supreme Court
The state’s highest court ruled against GOP lawmakers in a few high-profile cases. GOP lawmakers are responding in kind.
