It is not just you.

Tell the prime minister: Push back against reckless rollbacks! Ford and Smith want to gut federal environmental laws. Tell Ottawa: Strong laws matter.

"Now they’re [Ford and Smith] pressuring Ottawa to follow suit — to weaken federal laws like the Species at Risk Act and Impact Assessment Act, Canada’s last line of defence for nature. They’re pushing a false narrative that environmental laws block economic growth."

The renewable energy revolution is a feat of technology | Rebecca Solnit An energy revolution is underway in this century, though most people have not noticed it

We do not need to wait for the future. We just need leaders with the courage to step into it.

Why? Because there is simply no arguing with her devastating new report on the companies profiting from genocide.

Stay tuned for our interview on @zeteo.com.

The Manhandling of Alex Padilla Was a Red-Line Moment for America This is the essence of Trumpism: Go intentionally overboard, and then lie about it and try to reverse reality.

Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. https://trib.al/soZ0D2H

Dark brown and natural cotton threads arranged in a Fibonacci sequence are draped through the frame of a wooden Nautilus floor loom, in the process of being dressed (setting up the warp for weaving)

Decorative objects on a window sill including a hand painted tea bag from Africa and a sky project printed origami crane from Korea, crochet curtain with rosebud ribbon, and a Korean bojagi patchwork cloth curtain. Heavy snow on cedar, visible through the window.

In a season of darkness and light
dress the loom in Fibonacci stripes

‘We’ve Seen This Incredible Flow of Billionaire Money Into Campaigns’: CounterSpin interview with David Kass on billionaire election-buying "That's the real problem here, is that workers pay taxes every two weeks and billionaires can basically never pay taxes."

CounterSpin interview with David Kass:
