Hey #Vermonters: see below for some insight on viable alternative candidates to Governor Phil Scott (when is he gonna retire?!). Right now, I like the more #progressive candidate #Janoo.

One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for 2-4 people daily. Forests act as giant air purifiers—absorbing CO₂, pollutants, and particulates—delivering cleaner air that reduces respiratory diseases and supports every cell in your body. Breathe better. Thank a forest. 🌬️

FYI ! Thanks, Andrea.......

The U.S. Forest Service isn’t managing forests anymore. It’s running a timber operation and poisoning everything else to do it. A yearlong investigation by Mother Jones found that the Forest Service and private logging companies are systematically spraying thousands of

New fox babies this week. We’ve had families under our shed off and on for years. Makes me wonder if they’re all related. I could watch them all day. #fox #wildlife #earthlings

The new axis of evil: Trump, Putin, Netanyahu #warcrimes

Here Comes The Sun, Little Darling...

Spot on.

If we’re gonna talk about affordability, billionaires paying their employees poverty wages should be a primary topic of discussion. That business model must go. Nothing changes if wages continue to be intentionally suppressed. #Affordability is not just about prices. #greed #billionaires

I hate how stupid everything is.

Dinner? The look. #Dogs

Oof. So good. It is So Very Hard To Go. (sometimes) nothin like 70’s #funk #TowerofPower #music

WELKER: If you were prepared, why is the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed right now? CHRIS WRIGHT: Because it's right near the Iranian shoreline

It’s that time again. Stand up to the fascists. We’re standing up in #Vermont #NoKings #Resist

It’s been difficult to get #news that isn’t nauseatingly deferential to the Trump regime. But #Aljazeera does a very good job of reporting on their part of the world (and ours). It’s much more informative than the BS we get from some of our media. bsky.app/profile/alja...

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

So. Marco says there WAS an imminent threat. It was that Israel was about to attack Iran. So we had to attack Iran to prevent Iran attacking us. F—kin kidding me?! #fucktrump #lielieslies

Helpless. Can’t help feeling that today. By #neilyoung with #TheBand. Best of #1970’s. We gotta do #Peace protests again now too? Fuck the war on Iran. When we gonna stop this stupid motherfucker?

👀 Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

#NRBQ. Best live party band when you’re young and in college and in a bar and don’t give a shit about getting up in the morning. They were totally nuts.

“Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.” — Judge to the Trump thugs.

Vermont Governor orders changes to state rules that would allow housing to built in wetlands. He is getting strong pushback from environmentalists (like myself), much of it based on the increase in flooding that could result. #worldwetlandsday #protectwetlands #wetlands #vermont

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

Excellent piece from the Atlantic. The resistance and protest actions in Minneapolis are extremely well organized—and heartbreaking. #resist

This photo was not taken in black and white. Very dark here up north when it snows and it’s January. I’ve always thought these two trees seem to be reaching out to each other with those lower branches. Doesn’t today suck? Keep in touch… #trees #resist

“Mother mother ocean, I have heard you call.” I really think I would make a very good pirate. Beautiful song. #TheKillers playing #JimmyBuffet

“Abolish ICE” isn’t radical, it doesn’t go far enough. Latest in @theguardian.com written with my friend @victorerikray.bsky.social. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We need a Peter Pumpkinhead. Keep fighting all!

Well done piece on the rise of the authoritarian technocrats. Fun fact: #Palantir was started by “the capital investment arm of the CIA”?! Who knew that was a thing? #authoritarans #technocrats #facebook #google

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

"Quiet, piggy!"

“It's like you're standing in the window Of a house nobody lives in And I'm sitting in a car across the way It's an early model Chevrolet It's a warm and windy day You go and pack your sorrow The trash man comes tomorrow Leave it at the curb and we'll just roll away” To real friends. #JacksonBrowne

Sometimes it takes more courage to quit than to continue doing a monster’s bidding. Judge Wolf explains the many reasons (and corruptions of the law by Trump) that caused him to resign and decide to work against the Trump regime.

Only #annielennox could upstage #davidbowie. Two of the goddam best performers. With #Queen band members. For Freddie. #music

List of donors funding the King’s ballroom (and destruction of the White House) in CNN article below. Time to start boycotts? Maybe protests and boycotts can be simultaneous actions going forward. Those guys always understand money.
