One thing 2025 made clear: Durable progress on climate in the US will require structural reform to our corrupted political systems. Otherwise, steps forward will always be vulnerable to the bloody clawbacks we saw this year. A political strategy that doesn't center system reform is not "pragmatic."

If you need a little digital reconnection to the pulse of the living Earth, here are about 200 sandhill cranes winging south over Atlanta this afternoon. Their voices have echoed across this continent for at least 5 million years. Hopefully 5 million more

There's a lot of debate about whether trans athletes have an advantage, but if folks are going to have that conversation, they must also consider whether trans athletes also have disadvantages or a mix of both. The one-way, homogenized debate is inherently transphobic.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable

Tonight, I provided a snack kit to an unhoused neighbor with a dog. She immediately shared half the Epic meat bar with her dog.
