The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield.
Russia’s maximalist demands cannot be met with a minimalist response.

From the seas to the forests, Maine depends on our climate.
The Trump administration and the current Supreme Court don't care and never will. They'll let it all burn if it keeps fossil fuel share prices up.

“Trump told oil executives they should raise $1 billion for his campaign. In exchange, Trump promised he would get rid of Biden-era regulations and make sure no more such regulations went into effect.”
@hcrichardson.bsky.social reminds us how US law fails to rein in corruption. We must do better.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

My students are learning about the rise of humanism, natural rights, and pushing back against authoritarian institutions 400 years ago, in Europe.
I struggle to convey to them the significance of backsliding the US has done since 2016.

Trump on Greenalnd: The fact that Denmark had a boat landing there 500 yearsa go, doesn't mean that the land belongs to them. If we don't do it, Russia and China will occupy it. If we own it, we defend it, you don't defend leases the same way. We either do it the nice way, or the hard way.
