It's time to acknowledge reality:
 
Our health system is broken. It's time to guarantee good-quality care to every man, woman & child in this country.
 
Our campaign finance system is broken. It's time to get rid of Citizens United and publicly fund elections.
 
Let’s do it.

Last year, we scored a court win revoking the use of dicamba, a dangerous herbicide. But when we succeed, polluters get more desperate.

Now Trump's EPA wants to reapprove the pesticide that courts have struck down twice.

One blade injures a driver, and the world notices. Billions of birds, bats, and insects die silent deaths on spinning steel, and no one blinks.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

You're witnessing the self-destructive cocktail of white supremacy and greed: the twin sins of America that this country was unable to confront and uproot.

And, sadly, it's destroying us from within.

As @theguardian.com writes, the goal of keeping within the Paris 1.5C limit is increasingly out of reach.

But we must press on, with urgency and courage.

"It is in all our interests to prepare for what is coming, and to ensure that others are prepared too."

Humans strip ecosystems of elders—then wonder why they collapse. Older animals carry memory: where to spawn, migrate, survive. Even plants pass resilience through ancient roots and fungal networks. When we erase the old, we don’t just take life—we erase wisdom.

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen.

It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

New research shows industrial farming isn’t just killing insects—it’s wiping out entire branches of insect life that took millions of years to evolve. We’re not just losing species. We’re shredding pages from the book of life.

yes, ChatGPT is in schools; there are K-12 school districts and DOEs entering into AI contracts, too. so rather than panicking over the death of academia as a foregone conclusion—particularly when LLMs are frequently wrong—why don't we talk about the climate costs of AI?
