The world is so beautiful.
The direct hit from a CME sparked some spectacular #AuroraBorealis last night over central Canadian Prairies. #NorthernLights were visible from 0300 UTC onwards. I took these from west of #saskatoon #Saskatchewan. #ShareYourWeather #stormhour

Right now, we spend $36k a year to keep an inmate in prison. Because that money feeds the prison industry, we don't mind spending it. Better it should be spent on keeping people OUT of prison!

I love her. (And I would add providing meaningful work.)
Feeding and housing the poor will do more to reduce crime than any amount of punishment ever will.

It’s always moving to me the way Bernie fights for dental care, hearing aids and glasses for older people. It’s so important. Younger people might not always realize how much not having those things keeps millions of people from being able to engage with life in a meaningful way.

I don’t see the struggle defined by a contest between the two major political parties. It’s a struggle between two perspectives on what’s most important in life.

That book belongs in the Fantasy Section. I don't identify as for or against any of the labels you mentioned, because they're all unhelpful at this point. But your analysis is silly. You think there aren't billionaires in socialist countries? Read up.

There are high-minded conservative as well as progressive principles, but this ain't it. An economic system predicated on principles of short term profit no matter what the damage to people or planet, is not a reasonable polarity.

A serious struggle already exists and it will only grow in intensity. One side is intent on saving an inherently unjust economic system, while the other side is intent on saving human civilization. We’ll see what happens.

This is the problem right here. He honestly believes that investment value is a “higher law” than saving the planet. cnbc.com/amp/2021/09/29/blac…

So beautiful.
On this day in 1970, Joni and @JohnnyCash joined forces to perform a cover of the @BobDylan classic “Girl From the North Country.”
