My friend, Jane, from Lake Cowichan, was the first senior citizen activist who was arrested in 2021, at Fairy Creek Blockades. She messaged before heading out to meet up with me at HQ camp. She told me she's never been arrested for protesting anything before but due to seeing too much ecocide still happening in her golden years - declared, 'Getting arrested for protecting Mother Nature is now on my bucket list"šŸŒ²šŸ’¦ šŸ’—šŸ¦…šŸŒ²šŸ¦‰šŸŒ² Jane stayed at HQ camp for 2 nights & on her 3rd day, headed out to chain herself/walker to a tripod hardblock. Jane was arrested, along with 12 others that day, after several hours. Jane is a wonderful human being, a musician, a fibers artist, a Mother & Grandmother, who loves nature very much.

Imagine having to survive a Category 4 hurricane

- with no federally backed flood insurance
- with no NOAA or National Weather Service
- with no federal funds to help your state and local govts

That's all in Trump's Project 2025.

He's rich enough to ride out a storm. Are you?

As ā€œa cute kid saying that climate change is badā€ encouraging people to take responsibility, Greta could be spun as an advocate for the kind of greenwashing ā€˜personal responsibility’ change that allows the system to continue mostly unchecked (think plastics recycling). But advocating radical and systemic change? The kind of thing that will upend the status quo? Well, that’s just beyond the pale!

You can put terrorists in thousand-dollar suits and give them multimillion-dollar budgets—but they’re still just terrorists. You can dress up terrorism with high technology and drop it from the skies with billion-dollar fighter jets—but it’s still terrorism, and we should say it.

Last night's moonrise at Carisbrooke Castle.

These images involved much running about from my husband to gain the correct view. The moon was higher in the sky in the first photo, but appears lower as it was taken from the bottom of the hill as it got darker.

"#Atlanta man drives three hours to pull down #Confederate flag flying over #SouthCarolina highway"

I like this guy. What he did is called patriotism. Who wants to fly the flag of #treason for an un-#American anti-#freedom cause?

ā€œ#Trump’s term as president was mired by #incompetence & #corruption despite being relatively uneventful, & when faced w/a real #crisis—the #coronavirus #pandemic—he proceeded to #bungle it in a #catastrophic fashion that led to needless #deaths & economic #calamity.
