Canadian National Anthem: "O Canada, we stand on guard for thee." Happy to have you stand on guard for all of us, Canada.

The Trump administration is rife with violation of human rights and needs to be investigated by the International Criminal Court. www.icc-cpi.int/about/the-co...

We desperately need to 'Draw the Line' at earth warming beyond 1.5ºC (since the pre-industrial age). We're already pushing 1.3ºC, some climate scientists say more.

Equally great, perhaps even better than Doerr's 2021 novel 'Cloud Cuckoo Land.'

Putin insider says Russia is at a dead end now with the war. Can someone in Russia or NATO just END Putin now, so we and the rest of the world can deal with the other wannabe Dictator. www.the-express.com/news/world-n...

"Even if we can’t count on our elected politicians to protect our first amendment rights, we can rely on ourselves." -Robert Reich. Well said, @rbreich.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump's anti-education stance gets a lot of amplification in the South. My friend who teaches Criminal Justice at U of Central Florida speaks of threats to his curriculum from DeSantis' goons. Southern states are digging themselves into a hole. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Trump and his loyalists have outkicked their coverage as they try to consolidate power." - HCR documents Trump unpopularity, noting that companies kowtowing to him face financial backlash, aka Disney. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

“I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the ‘green energy’ scam, your country is going to fail." - Trump, part of his discombobulated UN Speech apnews.com/article/unit...

I'm heartened by the young climate warriors I've encountered. A shoutout to 'Youth vs Apocalypse' - a deeply committed groups of teens who've staged massive climate protests here in San Francisco.

I have little doubt that South Korea will discover human rights violations. That's S.O.P. for ICE agents. I just hope they call out Trump on it.

Disgusting

No surprise that the man who's gold-plating the Oval Office refuses to see the utilitarian beauty of windmills and solar panels.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

My brother, a college steeplechase champion back in the day, reminded me recently, that the last lap is all about pushing through the pain. While his opponents grimace, Hocker looks amazingly serene. Musta been his day.

Well said.

Mr. Newsom - I'm not your biggest fan, but it is very refreshing to see a political leader act with compassion. @governor.ca.gov

How I miss those bygone days - though I don't miss LBJ's warmongering ways.

Leavitt will go down in history as a very fluent liar.

Recent history tells us - 'resist media takeover now, later is too late.'

“Disney loses $4B in a week and folds—Jimmy Kimmel Live! returns Tuesday.Free speech wins; corporate fear loses. Ignore this today,and dictatorship rules tomorrow. Trump’s bullying violates constitutional rights. Politics, money, media—they all bow to outrage. 🎭 #FreeSpeech #TrumpDictatorship #Media

If his position is that immigrants need to integrate into the American culture, why is Trump cutting education support for 250,000 migrant kids!? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"The Dirty Truth” report finds that the country’s biggest electric utilities are collectively doing worse on climate goals than when the organization started tracking their progress five years ago." They all earned an ​'F' for the first time. @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

With a Trump-loving Governor, I'm always shocked to learn how much clean energy has take over the Texas power grid. @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

Those put out of work by the Trump Administration are now drift in “a massive pool of unemployed people who are highly qualified all competing for the same tiny pool of available jobs.”And, of course, Trump cancelled the jobs report. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The only reason why you wouldn’t measure it is if you were planning to cut food assistance, because it basically allows you to pretend like we don’t have this food insecurity problem.” -Nutrition scholar Lindsey Smith Taillie on cancellation of U.S. Hunger Report open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Sen. Tim Kaine: "Brian Kilmeade 10 days ago suggested that homeless, mentally ill people should be lethally injected. He apologized...He didn't get pulled off the air."

“But there are no new thoughts. They’re just old thoughts born into new moments – and in these moments is the thought: without earth we are finished.” - Samantha Harvey / Orbital

After a crisis-filled week, I'm Sunday reminiscing - breezing through some of my favorite books.

Trump decided to sic a beauty queen lawyer on his political enemies. His authoritarian intent is clear, his strategy questionable. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

California says 'No' to masked ICE agents! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"In June, 29% of Republicans were concerned about the direction of the country; now that number is 51%." - HCR Now they're concerned about the direction of the country - after putting this disgusting MAGA cabal in motion!? open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

If Kat had broken a hip when they tossed her to the ground, it would have been aggravated assault, a felony. ICE is out of control.

This is a very satisfying read. Only a part of the article, but this stood out to me:

“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Let's be clear. ICE are no longer just immigration officers. They are Trump's domestic army.

So this has become a free speech issue?

U.K. is killing it.. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

I’m a U.S. citizen who was wrongly arrested and held by ICE. Here’s why you could be next. www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

RIP, Robert Redford. You were an inspiration to us all.

Come on, Ben. Stick with Jerry. 'Ben's Ice Cream' just doesn't have the same ring.

Disney HQ: more protesters joined the rally. Resist fascism, freedom of speech is not negotiable.
