For sure

You don’t need to be a mental health professional to see that Donald Trump suffers from serious mental illness. At a minimum, he has a raging personality disorder. What leaves me livid is the fact that most Congressional Republicans see it too and choose to do nothing about it. It is disgraceful.

I'd keep this one to yourself, Steve....

On this day 141 years ago-Jan. 13, 1885-former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and Vice President of the United States Schuyler Colfax died cold and alone in a Mankato, Minnesota train station. Here’s a We’re History piece I wrote several years ago about Colfax’s life and death.

Chapter nine is simply one of the finest summary reframings of the biblical narrative from a decolonized perspective I’ve ever read (and I’ve read a lot).

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

Battle of the Bulge Episode 2: The Malmedy Massacre:

ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!” Credit to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social for the interview.

I hope @schumer.senate.gov can take some notes from a leader and Civil Servant like #JeromePowell. Way to stand up for what is right sir! I wish all our agencies had the ability and leadership to do this. I know it is at great personal risk due to the bully in charge. You are seen and supported.

Kristi Noem stated over the weekend that Americans deserve what they get if they get in the way of law enforcement operations, including the murder of Renee Good. If people get injured or killed, it's on them. Then she is sending more agents to Minneapolis. This Regime wants us killed.

I thought this was a good post for a Monday. No matter what happens, keep going, don’t stop, sometimes even the bad things that happen can be transformed by how we respond to the awful even. Sometimes, stumbling block can be a stepping stone to lifting others. op: brookzlab via IG

On this day in 1932, Hattie Wyatt Carraway (D) of Arkansas became first woman elected to the US Senate. Appointed in Dec. 1931 to fill her late husband’s Senate seat, she won a Jan. 12, 1932 special election. She then won full terms in Nov. 1932 and 1938. Image: Library of Congress.

I love the windows in our kitchen. This morning’s sunrise was so lovely to watch…

Sunrise brings new opportunities

Looks like the boys are playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who gets to make the pizza run. #AdventuresOfJackJackAndTheodoreAndPokey

“The Oglala Sioux Tribe is seeking answers after four enrolled members were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis.” www.newsweek.com/ice-detains-...

The brutality of state force is in the streets, it’s on video, and it’s being defended at the highest levels of government. If we do not act now with united, powerful resistance, the normalization of militarized state power will become irreversible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I'm honored to team up with journalist Lynda Mapes to tell the urgent story of the current threats to the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. "Target on Tongass" is the cover story for the @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social Pacific Northwest Magazine.

“Environmental groups said in a joint statement that the Utah agreement sets the stage for a drastic expansion of commercial logging, as well as mineral extraction and grazing, while reducing the oversight and public input.”

Of course, we know they only want to exploit the natural resources of both.

Travel Advisory for USA: Due to the aggressive policies of the US regime and their planned invasion of Greenland, Europeans should avoid traveling to the United States. In the USA, ICE awaits you - the American Gestapo. This could lead to arrests or even shootings. #TravelWarning #USA #Greenland

Rachel Carson's book 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 (1962) documented how DDT led to thin eggshells & reproductive failure in predatory birds like bald eagles. It led to the 1972 US DDT ban, sparked environmental awareness & helped bald eagles recover from near-extinction. #WomenInSTEM It's Save the Eagles Day!

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five. There are four lights. This is not a post about Star Trek.

This hit me like a 2x4: “The people run democratic governments, but fascist governments run the people.”

Newly-released footage reveals Renee Nicole Good’s last words.

If capturing Maduro was an exercise in "law enforcement," then it would not result in an "open ended" intervention in the country. It was not law enforcement. It is an illegal occupation to seize resources. It is Colonialism.

Some 400 people protested outside Portland's ICE facility Thursday after Border Patrol shot two people. Latest: https://www.opb.org/article/2026/01/08/portland-shooting-federal-agents/. 📹 Troy Brynelson/OPB, Bryce Dole/OPB Note: All music in this video is from real-time footage, not OPB.

As the midterms approach, we must: 1) fight for fair elections 2) ensure people on all sides have access to voting 3) vote out those more interested in partisanship than our people and Country 4) vote out those who are ineffective Most importantly- 5) fight fascism and tyranny Every. Single. Day.

I believe we are at a turning point. Don’t waste it. We honor her memory best by seeing this through and taking our country back from fascism. Flood the phone banks of your representatives, send emails, show up to peaceful resistance. Show the world the United States of America is better than this!

"Swaths of the Permian Basin appear to be on the verge of geological malfunction." An unfolding disaster, shielded by centrist pundits who tell us to "support America's oil & gas industry." Here's an idea: The oil & gas industry should support America, not wreck our land, air, & water.

Thoughtful piece by my @science.nature.org colleague Rob et al. discussing the implications of global autocratization for science. We face a clear choice, they say: keep our heads down and hope to weather rough political waters...or choose to actively support academic freedom + sustainability.

I now firmly believe Trump’s handlers are constantly showing him AI slop content - created to support those handlers own individual, often-clashing agendas. GenAI companies have created Grima Wormtongue as a service.

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up. Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes. More: www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

The U.S. economy entered 2025 as the “envy of the world.” It exited well behind its peers.

“That both DHS and Trump posted false accounts of the shooting even as there are four videos circulating that reveal those accounts to be lies shows they no longer are making any attempt to justify their actions.“ open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

It is long past time we take Trump‘s keys away. The Republicans now own what is happening they need to correct it youtube.com/shorts/hjqJ6...

We’ve been warning for weeks that the Trump Administration’s dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to public safety.
