It’s ridiculous that trump tried to shut down all wind farm construction citing security concerns. Since the courts ruled against that, he is now trying to buy back all the federal leases to get those projects cancelled. His insistence on fossil fuels is practically suicidal. @dsacer @peterbrown https://apnews.com/article/offshore-wind-energy-climate-trump-b8be5561c56d8932ef97fcbec9062fe1
A detailed look at offshore wind in the US and globally

President Donald Trump is stopping offshore wind projects in the United States, just as the industry was poised to grow significantly. Three offshore wind farms are open in the United States and three more have begun delivering power as they finish construction or final testing before fully opening. There are more than 40 federal offshore wind leases. The administration is buying some leases back. This stance runs counter to many other countries that are embracing using wind energy. There are 19 countries and markets powered with offshore wind energy. Countries added enough offshore wind energy to power 10.2 million homes in 2025 alone.

Farm Your Yard, Growing Food as Resistance

by John, May 12, 2026

Excerpt: "This is resistance. We have the power to transform our food system a block at a time and divest at least some of the income we give to the corporate food machine. If you have questions or need encouragement to start your own garden, or, if you need help getting started, please reach out and we will be happy to assist you. Spring is here! No better time to get dirty!"

Farm Your Yard, Growing Food as Resistance

By John

faith in humanity restored

First sighting of a Monarch this Spring!

I have several plantings of Butterfly Weed (Asclepius tuberosa) for them to enjoy, but mainly to lay their eggs on. The plants are just now starting to bloom.

🦋 It is very relaxing to sit on my porch and watch butterflies. Just had plant native perennials years ago.

🦋 Related: Carrie Haubner, co‑founder of the Queen City Pollinator Project in Kentucky, tagged a Monarch with a lightweight sticker.

🦋 That Monarch was later found at a Monarch reserve in Mexico. That's a 1600-mile trek! Also feeds into useful conservation dataset.

🦋 Protecting their habitat and increasing populations of their host plant is important. Get involved if you can!

A revolution is just "tax the rich" but at 100%.

I'm jussayin.

Here's a fantastic - and all too rare - example of speaking truth to power! Economist Steve Keen gave former Trump advisor Stephen Moore a heaping helping in a recent Piers Morgan interview. Moore's tiny little brain nearly exploded when Keen said "You're the bad guys!" after Moore intoned about the evils of the Iranian government.

A ten-minute segment is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34ljs1ysnl8
