it is disturbing and depressing how very very widely the Trump administration (Project 2025's years of planning/plotting) is attacking what makes America valuable and sustainable. Flood the zone, indeed. War, immigration, national finances, weaponization of the legal system, misogyny and racism, and they still find time to gut the national forest service and sap the foundations of public land management. They're everywhere all at once, destroying and selling.
It's hard to pay attention to everything, which is not an accident. Thank you, Mary and Shanley, for your important part in noticing what is going on and in providing a sensible framework for understanding it.
Mother Gaia is the ultimate protector of her domain....... It took billions of years to establish the stunning, beautiful, world that is hers! Then.... she relaxed, unknowingly, letting ONE single species group conquer all!
Some days I see good things and progress.... restoring the purpose promised to us! Other days, I despair... and want to hide myself in an everlasting tide of shame!
Patrick, the current regime only speaks of despair. It is the worst possible thing to happen in this time. Greed and short-sightedness is what we are getting. Also irreverence in terms of sacred sites. But then Ka$h thinks snorkeling over a solemn graveyard is OK.
Somehow in all the chaos that passes as news these days, I missed this travesty. Is there anyone in this administration that understands the importance of having a healthy and functioning environment? Our environment is key to our basic survival. Thank you Shanley for this so well-written article on what we can all lose due to this administration's mantra of greed, extraction and destruction.
How many years ago was the commercial of the Indian a tear slowly rolling down his cheek..over the pollution evident? I cried, felt it in my gut.
They called her Our Mother. It was years before ‘the white man’ did. Clear cutting, extraction, devastation , rivers on fire, huge settlements to the hundreds dead from cancer and the Dark Waters or Brocovitch Movies/awareness/activists.
They were warned.
Becoming a familiar phrase?
So I went back to the land, to love it, care more, leave it better, and in this process became so much more aware of the waste.
We Can Do Better…MUCH BETTER
I don’t care what you want to call it , climate change or evolution change…WE.CAN.DO.BETTER…….for our mother

Well, I follow Geddry because she holds hope in front of us, sometimes very near... and times receding... (not her fault!).
Inspiringly unabridged. Thank you.
