This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

Agree. I may not like Kaitlyn Collins, but I respect her for what she is doing. The remarks by the current POTUS were beyond the pale. The thing is that is what this event lives into.

Disappointing election. Our education and solidarity development is weak. Racism and sexism remains rampant. White women in small numbers are starting to organize but are not listening to the black voices in the room likely because we don't join the black led group and do a role there.

But Trump wants his name on "the biggest, most beautiful battleship ever built." We stopped using battleships fifty years ago, because they aren't viable in modern naval combat any more. We can barely keep the fleet we have afloat - uptime for most ships is something like 65 percent.

The Trump Administration wants to let a foreign mining company pollute the pristine Boundary Waters. And if Republicans succeed in abusing the CRA—the Congressional Review Act—to force a win for big polluters, ALL of our public lands are at risk. I'm a HELL NO on selling out our public lands.

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

Anti-fascism is a set of methods which to resist fascism. What's happening in Minnesota seems bigger than that: resisting fascism, yes, and real democracy in action, the world we want to live in. Not the terror! The care, the courage.
