Slowly but inevitably, we make our way into the New Year. Eyes straight, hearts wide open—if we dare. I vote yes. Photo by Alejandro Molina.

I join Americans across the country in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter. As president, he worked to protect the environment, expand clean energy, champion human rights, and advance peace. After leaving office, he spent decades helping the less fortunate. May his memory be a blessing.

Yes you can always assume I’m doing the thing I’m posting about.

We have less than three weeks. Free Leonard Peltier. A juror held anti Native American views, the prosecutor believes he should be free and that the case wasn’t made. A witness recanted. Even if you don’t agree w that, he is not well and in his 80’s. Let him live his final years with his family.

I feel like Wemby blocks shots that seem impossible so he gets a few more goaltending calls than he should.

Hi we’re all being emotionally manipulated & outrage harvested by the media that perpetuates a good vs evil narrative so we can continue to squeeze into a binary society that doesn’t exist & if we stop falling for the sensationalist fairytale that we have to ‘pick a side’ we’d be united & free

Oh the populist right-wing authoritarian is interested in territorial expansion you say? Well that’s a new one !

"Democrats are operating under this notion that unless a message is delivered on legacy media, then it’s not legitimate. Independent media for them still feels extraneous. In their minds, any real news has to be broken under the glossy veneer of legacy media." My interview with @puck.news:

Utah Sen.-elect John Curtis on people criticizing him for not going along with Trump: "It's my constitutional responsibility. These people are the same people who would have said earlier, 'You need to take power back from the executive branch.' That's what I'm doing."

So when I say “every fraction of a degree is worth fighting for,” and someone says “no, its too late, we’re all going to die,” that’s not just unhelpful, it’s actively counterproductive, even if you understand where someone is coming from. And that’s exactly Rebecca Solnit’s point.

I like to say I respect despair as an emotion but not an analysis. As an analysis it assumes we know what can and can't happen, and the future is both uncertain and at least to some extent what we make of it. www.newstatesman.com/environment/...

Why climate despair is a luxury

Those facing flood and fire can’t afford to lose hope. Neither should we.

Hey man if you aren’t saying that I’m not talking about you. Lots of people on the left don’t do that! That’s why I said people on the left and not “the left.”

Ok we are almost there and this will be easy.
