I am writing about how useless Big Law has become in the fight for democracy and I came across this from 2021. It was bullshit then -- the SWAT teams never existed. But it's notable that firms like Paul Weiss felt the need to act like they cared. Now, they don't even need to pretend.

Earlier this year, we lost Robert Redford, a giant in the environmental movement and a longtime friend and Trustee of NRDC. His legacy and spirit will live on in everything we do as we continue the fight to make the world better than it was yesterday.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work.

Berlin's House of Representatives has passed the Climate Adaptation Act, which doubles its tree coverage by 2040. They are going to plant over one million trees, create green spaces as cooling islands, improve rainwater management, and implement binding heat action plans.

Loudoun County, in northern Virginia, was the sign of apocalypse twelve months ago for Democrats.
Most of the vote just came in. (AP estimates 79%.)
Spanberger up 26%. (And Jay Jones up 15%.)
Four years ago, McAuliffe won it by just 11% on his way to a 2% loss.

After gleefully and illegally plowing over every statute and regulation they don't like—such as by destroying USAID, refusing to enforce CFPB regs, and withholding SNAP funding—the Trump admin has decided 88 FR 8255 is ironclad law that must be ruthlessly enforced to ensure more people go hungry.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
