not to be flippant, but it does seem they’ve gone about as fur as they can go

My favorite kind of history is that of everyday people. I love that old journals were used for this.

Mainers haven’t historically adhered to the menu that has cemented itself on dining room tables across the country. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/11/27/s...

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Notable bit from the @midcoastvillager.bsky.social piece on Mills-Platner. tinyurl.com/f4rs7r5h #MEpolitics

I stopped listening to Bill Gates years ago. You should stop too. Instead, I would listen to *real* experts who know about *real* climate solutions — not tech fantasies. You would then quickly see how these solutions can improve lives and help vulnerable communities thrive across the world.

This is good trouble. GOD BLESS THIS CHURCH!

One thing that’s been wild about Mamdani’s candidacy is that so many liberals are now seeing what the MENA and Muslim population have had to live with our entire lives. That even other minorities can turn to Islamophobia and racism, that even the most liberal yt folks do too. As he said, (con)

There’s about a million reasons to not buy from Amazon but hers one more.

My latest HNE blog post. People have a need to share their climate experience and through that sharing we can build connection and take collective action.

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH. That asshole just destroyed the WH for him. The terrorists must be so pleased. TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not, while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.

These words could have been written yesterday.

This charity has put out info to warn those w a history of cancer to take precautions against covid as it can reactivate cancers v quickly it seems Obviously other viruses can also increase cancer risks but perhaps not so quickly? Eg EBV As ever more research needed buds.org.uk/covid-and-ca...

I wrote in my blog post today that we need more public displays of empathy and care. We need to show that this response is the norm instead of the cruelty that we’re seeing. I include some suggestions in my blog post. #empathy #mutualaid #communitycare #maine

“If you’re still here, feeling, thinking, and hoping for a way out of this, if you’re still holding onto your values and each other, it’s not over. If you are still breathing and trying, it’s not over.”

Prominent climate scientist, @katharinehayhoe.com, argues it's time to ditch the 'myth of neutrality.' www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks... 💯 ... The other side has done that a long time ago.

Let's all start engaging in public acts of empathy care. ko-fi.com/post/Public-...

I don’t know why some people struggle with the idea that other folks experience life differently. What you find tedious, someone else cherishes as ritual or routine. This is basic people stuff y’all.

My thoughts on Graham Platner and his old Reddit posts. blackgirlinmaine.com/current-even...

🚨NEW: After we revealed Russ Vought's "put them in trauma" video, I spent the next year reporting on him, his influence, and his vision for America. Yes, I got *new* recordings & videos of Vought. Here is the story. A @propublica.org + @newyorker.com collab: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Feeling discouraged or hopeless about the state of things? This message from @focusedoninfinity.bsky.social is one of the most true and heartening things I’ve heard in a long time. ❤️

Learn about Project 2025, before it’s too late! It’s a lot more sinister than you think!! #Sinister #Project2025 #Politics #knowledge #Congress #Enemies #Gaslight

Charlie Chaplain using his voice from 1940 in a different war on Nazis spoke up and was punished for it. But now once again, we need this speech and the courage to make say it out loud. #Resist #DoNotGoGentlyIntoNight @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy

While you and I are worried about our healthcare premiums going up, the cuts to Medicaid that will force so many rural hospitals to close, making sure that those serving our country get paid... Republican Senators are going to a LUXURY GOLF RESORT for a fundraiser during the Government Shutdown

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

I’ve started picking up trash on my Friday morning walks. This morning I filled a whole bag! It’s just such an easy thing to do. I follow my usual walking route, but I bring a trash bag with me once a week.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

What would change if people stopped framing what we are experiencing as a crisis (or even as a polycrisis) and instead began to experience it a result and teaching? Vanessa Andreotti writes and speaks of the polycrisis as a poly-consequence and I think she has identified something important.

Trump and Congressional Republicans are holding government funding hostage to rip healthcare from millions and jack up premiums for everyone else. If they wanted to end the shutdown, they could end it today. Whether your MoCs are Republicans or Democrats, fight back: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Some good news!!!

Is google not sharing environmental news? This is a screen snip from the google news science/environment tab. All the other tabs list new stories except for this one. Anyone else experiencing this?

Re-sharing my own post just to remind folks that there are ways to stay informed as to what your local government is doing.

NATO is deploying additional fighter jets and a naval vessel to eastern Europe under a new program called Eastern Sentry. The military bloc shot down Russian drones over Polish territory earlier this week in a large-scale violation of the military bloc’s airspace.

fascinating. presumably this has benefits for evaporation as well www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

It's honestly worse than anything QAnon ever came up with because it is real.

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.

I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to call the 'nazi shrug'. This is when you point out someone is sharing a technology or platform that either doesn't ban or actively promotes nazis, and they..............shrug. Usually a person who actively hates nazis, is a leftie, etc......

AI ‘Slop’ Websites Are Publishing Climate Science Denial - MSN hosted AI-generated conten citing non-existent climate experts and institutions. - “AI has brought the cost of #disinformation down to nothing. It has automated bullshit” By @joeygrostern.bsky.social www.desmog.com/2025/08/27/a...

Michael Broadway died from an asthma attack on a scorching day inside an Illinois prison. Witnesses said a nurse didn't want to climb the stairs to his cell. A friend in a nearby cell put it plainly: “staff in these prisons DO NOT see us as human beings.”

Still curious about this. How many of you pay attention to what’s happening in local government? How many people are participating?
