Trump Admin brazen attacks results not present for decades re: EcoCrisis

My previous post on my concerns about Rachel Maddow's lack of attention to the Ecological Crisis has me thinking now also about how it has taken this manic, crazed attack of DOGE and Trump's "Executive Orders" to get people more activated for resistance. Where has this been regarding the Ecological Crisis which has been getting ignored and is constantly under Continue Reading

Rachel Maddow avoids EcoCrisis again in Pope Francis Eulogy

I've noticed for many years now that Rachel, for all her stellar and outspoken coverage on a wide range of topics of great importance, a rather stunning silence on the Ecological Crisis, even as the Crisis accelerates over the past 10 years. Now this. Pope Francis was CERTAINLY an advocate for the migrant.  But, seriously, a eulogy on Francis without Continue Reading

Hands Off Again, and forever.

April 19, 1775, Battle of Lexington and Concord— 250 years ago. Another show of people force is needed tomorrow , this time without arms. Just democracy over tyranny. In Nashville and other cities, it looks like many of these are also taking place alongside Earth Day Celebrations , which falls on Tuesday this year. That's fine and appropriate. Earth over Continue Reading

Steering toward disaster

Steering the country toward ecological disaster. But hey, they sure "owned the libs" didn't they?

Where Eco-theists and Eco-Atheists meet

My eco-connection to God is such that, I often feel far more "spiritually connected" to atheists who are fighting for Eco-justice and for urgent response to the world's Ecological Crisis, than I do to Christians who do NOT have any sense of urgency about the Crisis. That's very "Panentheistic" of me. Much of my experience of God is now closely Continue Reading

The Biblical Eco-Narrative 

There are rabbit-holes galore in the Biblical study of Creation. The Biblical narratives are incessant at keeping the significance of the Earth and Creation front and center: The Bible begins with the Creation Story that centers on the notion that God is Creator The Covenants are clearly conceived as agreements/promises/pledges from God to both Humanity and Creation. Sin is portrayed Continue Reading

“Religion is a Problem” Meme

On the "Religion is a Problem" meme: Many religious people are certainly problems, too many, but not all. "Religious" people CAN be a problem, except those of a HEALTHY religion. Just as "political" people can be, and yet we don't say that ALL politics need to be rejected. We, instead, should maintain an insistence that we do HEALTHY, COMPASSIONATE politics Continue Reading

Will the human world fight for it’s life?

“Trump administration officials have hinted that they are indeed making the case that efforts to limit climate change are worse than its harms and that warming might benefit humanity on balance.” — https://www.vox.com/climate/403877/epa-climate-rollback-endangement-trump-environment I've often thought about how the sane leaders in the world might collaborate to determine to stop a country or countries whose activities threaten the rest of Continue Reading

“Stretched”? 

Far more than "stretched the bounds of what is ethical in the White House". It's an absolute smashing of the ethics of the Presidency, or ay public servant, for that matter. But Trump has never served anyone but himself. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/03/11/trump-musk-tesla-white-house/

The World Economy is ALREADY collapsing, before Trump

I keep rolling my eyes when I hear the exasperation about how Trump's actions are going to "collapse the world economy".  He certainly is hastening it,  much more quickly than the collapse currently underway.  But , people,  the "Economy" has ALWAYS been "calculated" for us by mainstream economics,  which has NEVER considered the costs of ecological damage in it's "assesments" Continue Reading

The Even Larger Tsunami Wave of Ecological Collapse

Thinking about how stressed so many healthy, decent Americans are right now about the dangerously corrupt powers taking things and smashing them. I am also stressed about it, and worried. And then I think about how we have already been facing, for decades, a danger even more dangerous and life threatening, but has been hitting in places and ways that Continue Reading
