"While summer's light still warms the waiting land, We gather gifts before they slip like sand; The sweetest hours are never ours to keep, They fade like swallows winging into sleep. So make your hay while golden days remain, For time, once lost, will not return again."

This is the theme across the West. The political class is bought and controlled by the rich. The only way out is mass organising and flexing the collective power of the people. Governments need to fear the people again.

The subsidies given to fossil fuel industries (especially LNG) is astounding. Subsidies are known as derisking. De-risking shifts the financial, exploratory/operational risks from corporations to taxpayers. Infrastructure - dams, pipelines, transmission lines are paid by taxpayers.

People keep confusing this. Carney isn't the anti Trump. He's the cleverer Trump.

Climate awareness is a very revealing window in to the world of politics. Sadly it often reveals supposed allies as corrupt frauds, like Mark Carney and his predecessor.

What if I told you one woman, with little accountability, is wearing the name of the United Nations to launder false anti-trans forum posts into global legal fights, including the US Supreme Court? Our reporter S. Baum investigates Reem Alsalem in our collaboration piece with The Nation.

Today, July 10, marks one year since the brutal and chaotic immigration raid by the US DHS on Glass House Farms in Ventura County, CA which resulted in more than 300 farm workers detained by federal agents and the violent death of farm worker Jaime Alanis Garcia. 1/

I honour Divine Timing & Sacred Unfolding. I walk forward with trust, knowing my journey is unfolding by Divine Design. I release the need to control every outcome. I recognise that every experience serves my highest growth. I walk forward with trust, knowing my journey is unfolding by the Divine

Yeah, this is me behind the words. Recent months find me absolutely beyond the limits of endurance in body & mind & spirit. It's some kind of pyrrhic victory to have created a shore knit from endless threads of uncertainty There is no beauty in suffering, but life still, is Art

On certain mornings, as we turn a corner, an exquisite dew falls on our heart and then vanishes. But the freshness lingers, and this, always, is what the heart needs. The earth must have risen in just such a light, the morning the world was born. ~ Albert Camus

of demolishing the original Georgian bridge, engineers simply built a second, higher stone arch right on top of it. Today, this Grade II listed oddity frames the Pennine Way towpath, offering walkers a literal look at layers of transport history.

When the Leeds and Liverpool canal was dug in the late 18th century, a standard stone hump-backed bridge was built to cross it at East Marton. Decades later, the road above (now the busy A59) needed to be widened and levelled for heavier traffic. Instead

2/2 Portrait of Artemisia Gentileschi in 1625 by Simon Vouet. She was born on this day in 1593.

Born on this day in 1593, in Rome, Artemisia Gentileschi. One of the great painters of Baroque Italy. Endured shit and painted about it. Here, herself as a martyr, Saint Catherine, 1616.

Our #AlbertaWaterCouncil is no more. Once again this #MAGA #UCP government (not #progressive or #conservative) has destroyed another service. I wonder if that has anything to do with proposed #AI #DATACENTERS, our #water as a #commodity or what else this #authoritarian #maga #separatist #government

Danielle Smith's UCP supports staying in Canada and yet they're funding The Western Standard, which is actively promoting, and campaigning for, separation. Why is the tax money of the vast majority of Albertans who oppose separation funding an avowed separatist organ?

Neoliberalism is a viral disease that is killing this country. This sounds a lot like the Crown corp is going to plan it, the taxpayers are going to pay for it, and a private company is going to profit from it. We are being bled dry by cartels & monopolists subsidized by our own government. #cdnpoli

The premier continues to lie about the impact of coal mines & is spewing bullshit coal industry propaganda. There are no safe coal mines in the Rockies. No compromises.

On Friday he spat out one assertive, but professional email, one picture showing what you'd look like with bangs, and one fruit drama with Broc and Strawbellina.

On Thursday he ate 852 diesel back-up generators. The fumes gave his neighbours asthma.

On Tuesday he ate so much that he doubled demand on the country's power-grid. So he opened a new gas plant just for him.

On Monday he drank a quarter of the city's annual drinking water.

Can Danielle in her infinite wisdom explain how this is going to lower electricity rates?
