Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Watching this coverage it would easy to conclude that this woman has no regard for the rule of law and that she is only motivated by power and contempt. It would also be easy to conclude that D Senators need some serious coaching. They fell completely flat. Again. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

I have a new @nytimes.com guest essay w/ @davidkeith.bsky.social about sunlight reflection. We note its not a solution for climate change and at best a band aid to treat systems, and suggest if its ever done it should only be to replace the cooling from air pollution today:

Gift article: He said he was going to end politically motivated prosecution (not that we believed him). He is doing the opposite, of course. When does cognitive dissonance override blind loyalty and hatred ? …asking for 340M friends. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

These crooks own Fox News, NY POST, WSJ, almost all of AM radio, Twxter, Nat’l Enquirer, Truth Social, Facebook/Meta, and countless others. They’ve neutered LA Times, WaPo, NPR, ABC/Disney, CBS/Paramount, & now are about to buy TikTok. And they cry about bias! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/t...

If we can’t measure pollution, we can’t protect our air or our future. Ending the EPA greenhouse gas reporting program means flying blind on emissions and leaving communities, businesses, and national security in the dark. America should lead on clean energy, not hide the facts.

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

And just like that they squandered the whole point of the first & second amendments. Policing speech, & substituting morality & political alignment for freedom. Bringing federal troops into U.S. cities to intimidate opposition & enforce the whims of a tyrant. I guess I’ll study up on the 3rd now.

The Western Arctic is a globally significant ecosystem that supports countless species and Indigenous communities who have lived in relationship with this land for millennia. Now, the Trump administration wants to remove protections from 13 million acres. Take action to keep these lands protected.

The EPA just appointed longtime industry lobbyist Kyle Kunkler as its top pesticides official. He’ll now oversee a rule to protect people and endangered species from toxic pesticides — the very rule his Big Ag trade group spent years trying to kill.

The official numbers just dropped on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Trump officially made the biggest cuts to health care in US history. Trump made the biggest cuts to food stamps in US history. Trump added $4.1T to the debt to give tax cuts to the ultra-rich and corporations.

You can't make this stuff up. It was never about culture wars was it? It was always about protecting fossil fuels...but they needed to scare people first. Let's just see if there were any recent deadly climate-related disasters in certain US House districts though. www.politico.com/live-updates...

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Important for all Earthlings!
