"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." Pedro Calderon de la Barca

“Nature in her green, tranquil woods heals and soothes all afflictions.” John Muir

The Abert’s Squirrel in Ponderosa pine tree, I love seeing these forest friends.

Don’t forget get to look up. From my cozy perch this evening…

“Earth has no sorrow that earth cannot heal” - John Muir

“Individually, we are mature, responsible women who've worked in government, radio, newspapers, schools and universities—we are all writers of one sort or another. Collectively, we act like kids. We are still kids when were together. Apart we suffer greatly, but ensemble we defeat despair.” I.Huggan

“All virtue is a form of acting” -Yates “The stunt pilot” -Annie Dillard

This was just 2 weeks ago…

Painted in the spring, this tent once meant chaos. Now, with women stepping forward in courage and hope for truth, it holds a new meaning. 🦁🕊️🎪 #EpsteinFiles #Truth #Courage #art #ArtWithPurpose

#showmeyourknits ... I think I found my ppl

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

Today was powerful! We were out on the Genesee, Colorado overpass for the 50501 protest, and wow. I was blown away—literally and figuratively. The overpass was lined with people, flags, and signs. We cheered, we waved, we stood tall. This is what solidarity feels like.

Went to the Hands Off protest at the Denver Capitol today. Stayed on the edge, just taking it all in. Snowy, spirited, and full of heart. So many voices, signs, and stories. It felt like a parade of resistance — and maybe that’s exactly what we need more of!

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

I tuned in. It really is quite something. (Free feed here www.newslive.com/business/cnb...)

Eyes Open, Ears Open ~ 2025

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Everyone who works for PRAMS (the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System) at CDC was terminated today. That appears to be the end of a critical program which monitored infant and maternal health nationwide across pregnancy, childbirth & postpartum. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/prams...

I want someone with reach to point out that -- as great as some of the ideas to pad his speech with silly readings (a la Cruz w/Green Eggs and Ham) were -- he did the one thing that crushes them all: he spoke clearly and articulately about actual issues. No fluff. All substance and grit.

34,000 through these gates in Denver today! Many many more outside the perimeter! Yay Bernie & AOC!!!

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, and I draw on our research through the Crowd Counting Consortium to show that there is far more protest happening in the US than is commonly understood, and that the shift to economic noncooperation shows powerful potential for future collective action.

Trump's science denial, racism and sexism will trigger a brain drain that weakens the United States. MAGA is trashing our leading role in the world to wallow in greed and ignorance.

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

CNN: Senator Michael Bennet erupted in a meeting that Senate Democrats had "No strategy, no plan, and no message on this spending bill" It is becoming more and more apparent that Schumer was banking on Republicans failing to pass a CR through the House. Jefferies did his job-- Schumer didn't.

It used to be clear that Democrats stood on the side of working people. Then they started chasing the “center.” Today’s Democratic establishment leaders have brought the party — and the country — down with them.

Lately, it feels like positive momentum—real progress for humanity—has stalled. Like we’re caught in a cosmic eddy, spinning in place while everything around us moves at a dizzying pace. It’s unsettling to feel so stuck.

The scale of corruption being perpetrated right now is almost beyond the limits of imagination. This is just one example, almost certainly not the greatest.

Wish my rep would've done this - we were denied location of the townhall as it was a 'private event' - but we could watch on facebook 🙄 She also stayed for just one hour & only took (maybe) 10 questions written on a small card. District 7 Colorado

"Randall hosted a morning town hall Saturday in Bremerton that filled up in minutes. Rather than turning the overflow crowd away, she immediately held a 2nd session. 'I want to hear from everyone who took the time out of their day to be here,' she wrote online..." www.advocate.com/politics/hug...

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

Spread the word

Whale song can travel for thousands of miles—unseen, yet deeply felt. I imagine the voices of women working the same way—a vibration that carries across time and distance, connecting us to one another and to those who came before.

This is a really good summary of the whole Trump tariff clown show in a way that probably only the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cld do. Not like aggressive, just a dispassionate and very clarifying. Even elegant. Quite good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHoZ...
