I am compelled to voice my concern that the Climate movement NOT wait to seriously mobilize until that March on April 29. We need to act after the shameful, irresponsible “hurry vote” of the sellouts of the GOP (excepting ONE, Susan Collins, apparently the only non-denier amongst those gutless turds called the GOP). I admit that I am not one Continue Reading
I feel that we in the People’s Climate movement, and those in the interfaith community should not be waiting for the Climate March on April 29 to act on our outrage that Pruitt has been confirmed; much less the corrupt , un-accountable, rushed nature of such a vote, pushed by that ultimate of “Patron Compromiser” , idiot “leaders”, Mitch McConnell. Continue Reading
Occupy the Pruitt-led EPA. The head of National Security violates basic National Security protocol. He’s now gone. The appointed head of the Dept of Education is an opponent of public education. Now the EPA head is an opponent of Environmental Protection and an insane, science denying idiot with no scruples about enriching himself at the peril of what he is Continue Reading
Seeing a confederate flag in a picture, and reading of how “it’s not racist, but a symbol of ‘States Rights’”, I wonder what the symbol for “ecological destruction” rebranded as “Free market rights” would be. Capitalism? What’s the “flag”? Some might argue the stars and stripes itself. Then we’d be into the heart of the matter, I suppose. Where do Continue Reading
Ever since I read Ta Nehisi Coates’ “Between the World and Me”, I am still struck by the closing section, and this , within that, stands out : “The people who could author the mechanized death of our ghettos, the mass rape of our private prisons, then engineer their own forgetting, must inevitably plunder much more. This is not a Continue Reading
And in this case, “Green” is NOT good, if you know what I mean. I agree very much with Jeremy. This whole post of his (also copied and pasted below) is a sweeping condemnation of not only Trump’s conflicts of interest and illegal profit-driven scheme of his to cash in on the Presidency at the expense of the American people, but Continue Reading
Let me be one of millions to tell the other countries of the world, especially those 7 “selected” countries in Trump’s insane, racist, Islamaphobic nonsense ban, that the vast majority of us did not want this, would never have thought of this, and are very ashamed that this goofball was elected President. He is in violation of multiple laws and Continue Reading
In September of 2014, while reading Naomi Klein’s “This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate”, I crossed into a life-changing re-focusing of my vocation of trying to help the Church be the Church and provide Communication and Online Community tools, to sharpening and focusing those tools on the task we face in a Climate Crisis. Now, just over two years Continue Reading
It seems that even many of those Republicans who didn’t vote for him are largely inclined to be disengaged from all this; even opposing the value of the Women’s march in the first place. As if “protest” itself is just a tool of the “liberal” or “radical” (whatever either of those titles entail for them). Seems they even defend Trump Continue Reading
http://www.billmckibben.com/deep-economy.html This is one book that I consider to be really important for the church. These models set forth in this book show how communities (“Cities set on a hill, in theological parlance) need to be working , as much as possible, toward self-sufficiency, to stem the tide of massive transportation of goods from far away places. I just noticed Continue Reading
(This one hurts. It’s hard, because I am a HUGE Michael Moore fan. But I have much reason to hope here.) Here’s a post by Michael Moore, and it raises , once again, a deep concern I have Michael Moore Just Told Trump The Top 6 Reasons Why He’s An “Illegitimate” President I have to say, something here disturbs and Continue Reading
This first paragraph is a repost of a Facebook status update from yesterday as reports came in of Congress rushing through “repeal ACA” votes under the cover of darkness. What follows is a comment I added almost immediately to elaborate on EVIL. Is there any more doubt in anyone’s mind that this Congress prefers darkness? They work their evil while Continue Reading
A while back I had written about how there needs to be a “Confessing Church” movement centered on the Climate Crisis. The election of Donald Trump has not only accentuated that need, but it adds a whole slew of additional pleas to people in the Church to have the guts and the consciousness to stand up and reject the capitulation Continue Reading
Boy do we ever need a Woodward and Bernstein and a 1970’s Washington Post now! The reckless, blind ambition of these people should leave open so many expose’, scandalous, inexcusable alliances with money that will curl the hair on the neck of even the most conservative. Granted, it’s going to take much more than it took to bring down the Continue Reading
