Writer, addicted reader and climate activist, I live in San Francisco. Bluesky has helped me come to a reckoning with Trump and the 77 million Americans who voted for him. Books are my refuge, writing is my release. https://daverhodywriting.wordpress.com
- Can we say 'climate change'?
- Oppose them, question them or try to rein them in and you become an ICE enemy.

- Just when I thought Trump could no longer shock me: "Yesterday, the official social media account of the White House posted a picture of Lemon with the caption: 'When life gives you lemons…' and an emoji of chains, evoking the chains of enslavement." -HCR open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
- One of the great delights of my long life is witnessing the full blossoming of female athletics. Ironically, it was Nixon who signed Title IX of the Civil Rights Act into law in 1972.

- As is my habit when I'm writing, I had Pandora on modern classical music this afternoon. A song caught my attention and when I clicked on the artist, I was captivated further by the album cover - love it!. www.youtube.com/watch?v=as0J...
- Don Lemon has had quite a background. He voted Republican when young. He was a Fox newscaster. And he's openly gay. But he's being targeted by Trump because of his integrity as a journalist – which means he called out Trump's bullshit in this first term and now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Lemon
- Reposted by Abbey RhodesDon Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."
- I like much of what Tom Steyer is saying in his bid to be the new California governor, but I have one thing to say: - Tom, why don't you have a Bluesky account?

- The new LSR Standard provides a much clearer and more precise measurement of GHG emissions from land use. And it finally includes measurement of emissions from cultivation and burning of biofuel crops (breaking the myth that biofuel is clean energy). ghgprotocol.org/blog/land-se...
- Well this totally sucks.

- Reposted by Abbey RhodesThe reviews for “Melania” are going to be far more entertaining than the movie. What a fabulous headline:
- Bondi claims he was arrested "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota." Lemon was there as a journalist covering the protest. Bondi has stepped on a legal landmine. www.cbsnews.com/news/don-lem...

- Trump, his cabinet and staff live in a fantasy world.

- I know the answer, David Corn. @davidcorn.bsky.social Trump filled his cabinet and all key positions in the U.S. government with conspiracy theorists, right wing radicals and sycophants.
- When I look at Trump supporters, I see angry people but I also see empty-headed people who seem to absorb what he's saying like 'OK, I'll go with that.'

- Trump signals that he's ready to back-off on ICE oppression, but his actions say otherwise: • Homan threatens protestors • Noem doubled down on ICE murders • ICE created a protestor database • A federal agents tries to enter the Ecuadorian consulate heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-27...
