We have a plan to reverse global warming and be more prosperous, starting now, or any moment we can get the movement to get moving. Stop eating meat. It’s insane to me that we are here, when we have spent the past 50 years dooming. With reason. @mzjacobson.bsky.social @rephuffman.bsky.social

Jared Huffman talked about his new book, No Prophets, with the celebrated Peter Coyote, today in Santa Rosa, sponsored by Copperfield’s Books. Our exceptional Congressman, a Humanist, lays out the enduring need for separation of church and state with fire and humor. @realjaredhuffman.bsky.social

Yes, Trump is mentally ill. But he still knows how to rally his worshipers. His battle cry that "SCOTUS is RIGGED!" speaks right to them. MAGArds will nod furiously along, enraged and embittered that ... someone has stacked SCOTUS. The punchlines write themselves, and none of them are funny.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.
