The Edge was a rockin' venue. Somewhat pertinent that its next incarnation was a youth shelter.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Michigan permanently protected 73k acres in the U.P. and secured public access $20 million conservation deal protects wolf, moose and brook trout habitat while opening the land to hunting, fishing, hiking and off-road recreation.

Some good news.

Trump administration orders dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service Late Tuesday afternoon, with the subtlety of a wrecking ball and the morality of a foreclosure notice, the Trump administration announced the most devastating attack on the U.S. Forest Service in the ...

"One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it."

You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch

This quote from Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been in my head the last few days

Privilege doesn’t mean you can’t be mediocre. These dudes are the poster boys.

“One of the reasons that people like Tucker Carlson and others are getting off the bus now is because if you're going to preserve a future neo-fascist movement in the United States, It's going to be very important to localize the blame for what's happening to Trump, to just the Iran decision, to suggest that everything was going fine until the last week of February of 2026. But we are approaching the one-year anniversary of the Trump tariffs being applied in full force. The economy was bad in 2025. Job creation was bad in 2025. The prices were bad in 2025. And the people who are looking to jump, now, onto the JD Vance ticket, are going to be arguing. 'See it was all about Iran' - the decision that JD Vance will discover, later, that he opposed all along - and not about everything else that Donald Trump did in the second term, including the stealing, including the extreme crackdown on immigration, and above all, the tariffs.” David Frum Deadline White House With Nicole Wallace March 30, 2026 https://open.spotify.com/episode/1NU8Nc3KgwqCfYxEKdWYQC

Hey #Canada - your Postal 'Service'. 🤬
"These proposed changes include converting the remaining addresses that still receive delivery at the door to community mailboxes..." Did Canadians vote for this? No. Will they pay for it? Probably. Will hundreds of Postal Workers lose work? You bet.

That's awesome! If 3 are a "triptych", what are 4 called? Maybe in this case, a "Quadrowan". 😜

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Hydrogeologists document that humanity pumps groundwater between 10 and 80 times faster than nature can replenish it, and that some of this volume took more than 100 years to accumulate underground. The planet's aquifers are silently collapsing: NASA satellites detect accelerated depletion of groundwater in major global reserves.

A play on the lyrics of "I'm Too Sexy for my Shirt" by Right Said Fred 1990s' UK Duo - "I am Too Saxon for My Shirt"

As someone else has suggested .... the lyrics are by Right Said Athelred (can't claim credit for coming up with this but its still very amusing!)

While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts.

Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.

this make-oil-producers-rich dynamic Justin describes doesn’t even include $30B in annual welfare paid to Petroligarchs via U.S. taxpayers

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

They should frack all the way off... 🤬

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
