I live above the 60th parallel so I get to watch the glaciers melt away. I've been watching Climate Change for 40 years as it happens. With permafrost melting things are getting exciting quickly
I'm slightly older than Igneous Rock.
We had an economy in the 50's, 60's & 70's that was far better than what we have today and were headed in the Right (Left) direction. We need it back. . . Both the Mamdani platform & Biden/Harris are the same as we had in that WWII - 1970's.
As always; Peace!

I joined this site 8-10 months ago, it was after another site & wanted a little more information than I was willing to give or thought they had a right to. I joined thinking I find a group of smart people who seemed as intent in getting rid of the GOP and trump as I was.
I guess I was wrong, there just doesn't seem to be that strong a conviction so this is what I see.

49 states have 'at will employment' meaning unless you have a union, which is ~not~ 90% of us, we can be fired just for saying we're sick. (yeah, it's wrongful firing - sure sue them. Tell me how rent gets paid while paying for a lawyer?)
The struggle isn't even to explain sick leave is a terrible racket, half (at least) of the US labor force doesn't even have sick leave or use it if we do!
It's been a few years since I drew this. I still stand by it.
We are at a cross road, we can give up our freedom or keep it. If we keep it what do we want it to be? I want to see it go back to many of the ideals of the 60's.
Education, equal pay, Civil Rights for those who have never had them. Privacy honored, Children cared for, all the people fed, housed with medical care available, Income for those who are loosing jobs to technology & change. Climate action & consideration for nature, solar/wind . . there are others .
Weiss and Cibrowski announce they’re shutting down CBS News Radio, which has ~700 affiliated stations, on May 22. "Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.”
Thus, the CBS Radio Network (b. 1927) will be terminated at the age of 99.
CBS Radio was the foundation of American broadcast journalism. Over five decades I filed hundreds of news reports for it and felt immense pride to have been on the same network as Murrow, Sevareid, Smith, Collingwood, Cronkite, Edwards, Trout, Townsend, Kuralt, Rather, Stahl, Knoller & Portnoy.
In 24 years, just 77 cases of noncitizens voting were identified out of hundreds of millions of ballots cast.
The SAVE Act isn’t about election security—it’s about voter suppression.
The reality? Undocumented voting is virtually nonexistent. This is a modern-day poll tax that risks denying Americans their fundamental right to vote.— Bernie Sanders #elections #press
MSNBC Journalist David Rhode: "Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war."
Donald Trump:
•Blew up the Iran Nuclear Deal despite Iran's compliance
•Sanctioned & bombed Iran, claiming he destroyed their nuclear program
•And when Iran still came to negotiate & give up ALL its enriched uranium, Trump killed 175 Iranian girls
