Canada better watch what it is doing as it seeks to diversify.
If we think the only treachery is @ DJ Trump we are way off base.

Ahead of tomorrow’s storm:
California has pre-positioned resources — including dozers, hand crews, rescue swimmers, and helicopters — in Ventura, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino counties to respond to potential debris flows and mudslides.

This has been a strange Atlantic hurricane season. It seems like every storm fell into two categories: struggled mightily, or reached for the stars.

Here's a recap of what we've seen so far this year:

"Suckers we've become for special effects,...
in the age of bougie Anthropocene....

"... The Lord loves those who hate hatred...
Her eternal hand pries free
the closed-fisted
Hearts clogged shut
are likewise opened up.
So celebrate the Lord, why don't you!..."

(Reupholstered Psalms, G Kennedy SJ)

Pam Bondi, like most if not all the cabinet, are stooges of Trump

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 13h

Never forget that when Bondi was appointed, Democracy Docket immediately called her out while The Washington Post gave her a thumbs up.

If you value independent, pro-democracy media that won't bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

A VERY, VERY, SERIOUS PROBLEM
when so few who do not need it.
have control over so much
needed by so many

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 9h

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
