Harrison Ford, "Humanity is a part of nature, not above it" "We have an essential mandate to protect 30% of the world's land and sea by 2030, to prevent the mass extinction, to slow the warming of our planet" "We are still losing nature to profiteering, corruption, conflict, including land that is already protected on paper. These efforts matter but they're not enough" "We need cultural change" "We need to extend social justice" "We need to respect and elevate the indigenous people that are being marginalized, and in many cases, killed in cold blood" "These communities have long understood that the trees, the mountains, water, soil, are not commodities, they are relatives to be cherished for following generations to embrace and protect" "We can all play our role in embracing that wisdom in our day to day lives by loving the planet" "By honouring nature's authority, her generosity, the bounty she affords us. The justice of her example" "Because the world you’re stepping into, the world my generation left you, is a real mess”

@Stopworkplacebu Management did nothing bc they are afraid of the bully

Based on your personal experiences. What happened AFTER you reported bullying at work?

Ultimate Baking Championship such a joke. Where were the sprinkles?? Clement should have won.

We need a Gen X president. No more boomers, you fucked everything up

I wanted to share a few things on my mind after the horrifying events at the White House Correspondents Dinner over this weekend. An attempt on the president’s life is an awful thing for our democracy. I’m thankful Secret Service and law enforcement responded as quickly as they did before this gunman made it any closer to the president, many of his cabinet members, the press corps, and everyone else in that room. Political violence is a growing problem in our country. It has led to violent acts against Americans and elected officials across the political spectrum. I refuse to accept that this is normal, or that we can’t do anything about it. We have serious disagreements as a country. Some of those disagreements are passionate and personal. For 250 years, we have solved those differences at the ballot box. It’s a big part of what’s great and unique about our form of government. That doesn’t mean we can’t be loud and clear when we think someone has a really bad idea, especially someone with power. That’s what a healthy democracy looks like. We all have the right to speak out about our government. We also all have a moral and patriotic obligation to condemn political violence, no matter if the target is President Donald Trump, State Legislator Melissa Hortman in Minnesota, Charlie Kirk, or anyone else. Here’s how we can turn this around. We talk to each other—in person, away from the social media algorithms that are designed to make us angry and divided. And that’s not just the job of elected officials. Frankly, Washington has a way of making this worse. These conversations start in our neighborhoods, in schools, and at the dinner table. The other thing that has stayed with me is hearing the stories from journalists who were in the room, lying on the ground, texting their loved ones, and fearing for their lives, not yet knowing that the attacker had been stopped. That same experience isn’t unfamiliar to a whole generation of Americans. Far too often, kids are the ones sending those texts to their parents as they hide on the ground in their classrooms during lockdowns because of report of an active shooter, or in the worst instances, a gunman down the hall from or in their classroom. I’ve talked to parents who lost their children to gun violence and will never fully recover, and to kids who are traumatized from losing their friends or witnessing something in a school hallway that I might have seen in war. I know something about that phone call that changes everything. I’ll never forget when my wife, Gabby’s, chief of staff called me on January 8th, 2011, to say Gabby had been shot in the head. That act of violence flipped our world upside down. A week ago, it was family members in Shreveport, Louisiana whose worlds were flipped upside down when eight children were murdered and two others were injured in a shocking act of domestic violence. This was the deadliest mass shooting since January 2024. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. The lax firearms laws that allow criminals, domestic abusers, and the dangerously mentally ill to get access to guns makes all of us less safe. It’s just wrong. I refuse to accept that this should be normal in America and can’t be changed. Since Gabby was shot, I’ve already seen change start to happen.  We know the steps we can take to strengthen gun laws while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. If we do that, and we reject the forces that are trying to divide us, everyone, from the president to our kids, will be safer. These are challenging times, but we’re up for the challenge if we all work on it together.

Share widely-This is Arlene Greist, Iñupiat Ilitqusiat, Elder from Ambler Road Tribal Council in Alaska. She travelled thousands of miles from her fly-in only community to the United Nations to tell the world and Donald Trump @realDonaldTrump - “No Ambler Road.” The Ambler Road is a proposed 211-mile industrial road through Alaska’s Brooks Range to access copper and cobalt mines. Over 60 Alaska Native communities would face restrictions on their subsistence practices — hunting, fishing, and gathering that are central to their way of life. 89 Tribes and First Nations have passed resolutions against it. Environmentally, the road will cross over 3,000 streams and rivers , disrupt the migration of the Western Arctic caribou herd, and open one of the largest intact wilderness areas on Earth to industrial development.

Yes we do

Duluth Public Library (1980) is a milestone in the history of modernism, designed by legendary Latvian-American architect Gunnar Birkerts at the height of his career. The exterior, clad in porcelain steel panels, is an homage to the ore boats.

"Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."…Pope Leo

The Republican majority in the Senate just voted to open up the Boundary Waters to toxic copper-sulfide mining. Minnesotans didn't want this. Minnesotans won't benefit from this. A massive Chilean mining conglomerate -- with no interest in the well-being of Minnesotans -- will extract our minerals and despoil our land and water before shipping them off to China, and leave Minnesotans holding the bag to pay for the inevitable clean up of the environmental disaster they leave behind. They are selling out the American people, our public lands, our air, and our water -- to corporations for profit. It's as simple and as tragic as that.

You are only a man @realDonaldTrump , and someday you will stand before our Lord Jesus Christ. You claim our Holy Father @Pontifex is weak, but it takes more strength to do what one should rather than simply what one wants. You intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of stopping drugs and criminals from entering our country, and under Nicolás Maduro you described the regime in terms of narco-terrorism. My qualm is the name games you play. Do you think you can simply legitimize actions by denoting terminology to suit your interest? This you did. In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu undermine the true meaning of justice through continued acts of unconscionable war crimes, all in the name of “self-defense.” But with the Lord, there will be no altering of words and their meaning; all that will be left is the truth of what really happened. You call the Holy Father weak because he calls for peace? What is weak is bombing children in Gaza in the name of national interest. What is weak is saying this is God’s country, yet by your actions you act as an enemy of the cross. It is a shame that, in many respects, the COVID situation could have been handled better by the Church, but do you not consider the blunder of Operation Warp Speed? To this day, questions and debates about the long-term effects of the vaccines remain, and this was under your authority, so pluck the splinter out of your own eye. Inspired by Christian charity, I implore you, repent. We are Christ first, not MAGA first. Our first allegiance is to God and His Kingdom. Are you God first or MAGA first? If God first, why do some of your actions betray that truth? If you come after the Church and the Holy Father @Pontifex_de, don’t think I’ll be silent. I only fear God.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.” thetimes.com/us/american-po…

In February, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the United States was $2.91. Now it’s $4.22 . That's what you get when you elect an idiot the president of the United States, allow him to start a war without congressional approval.

The 25th amendment exists for a reason. This madman is the reason. This post is the reason. @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune, call Congress back into session today. Do your fucking jobs and defend America from this demented and deranged lunatic.

25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW 25th Amendment NOW

Seriously why is #25thAmendment not trending right now? Why hasn't anyone been tweeting it? Trump is OBVIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL, he's threatening to use nuclear weapons, and absolutely NOBODY will use the power we ALREADY HAVE to remove him. Jesus fucking Christ. Use it. Now.

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.

Good Morning, the President of the United States is a madman, a senile sociopath, utterly unfit for office. He’s an immediate danger to America & the world. Darn near everyone knows all this privately, but is afraid to say it publicly. Darn near everyone wishes he was gone. What a bad, horrible, frightening situation to be in.
