Of course it is!
Journalists/writers covering #MauiFires or any of the climate-related disasters would benefit from clearer understandings of connections globally across colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, racism, international development, patriarchy to #ClimateChange. I hope these help but feel free to ask!

"Two prominent conservative law professors have concluded that Donald J. Trump is ineligible to be president under a provision of the Constitution that bars people who have engaged in an insurrection from holding government office."

Does this mean we’ll finally get an actual definition of “woke”?

Hey, America, Grow Up!
"Left or right, apparently we’re all victims now.
The instability of the self has created an immature public culture —
impulsive, dramatic, erratic and cruel.
In institution after institution, from churches to schools to nonprofits,
the least mature voices dominate and hurl accusations,
while the most mature lie low, trying to get through the day."
@solownh I’ll clarify that Trump does not represent the typical Ruling Class, but the criminal Mob Boss plus Fascism fancier, but the former is in aspersion only, he’s malignant enough, but too soft, pudgy, and whiny. Yet so far it has been an effective, though fading strategy to solicit support from #STUPID, #Racist #MAGA, and his co-conspirators in his plot to trash the Constitution and turn the FedGovt into his corrupt personal muscle. 🤬
@solownh MAGA is a dark, selfish fantasy, counter to the ideals the USA was founded upon, (stated but in many cases never achieved), and MAGA strives to ensure those ideals are never accomplished. All the GOP needs is a bunch of selfish, STUPID sheep enablers back home intent on knifing democracy for perceived personal advantage. IMO there is not enough of them to succeed, but they are definitely inflicting damage to the Nation most of us ❤️. 😣
The best summation I've seen is that MAGA world is afflicted by a combination of shared psychosis and symbiotic narcissism. Reasoning and facts don't matter to them.
Not your typical writing magazine, because it’s not about writing. It’s about the lives of writers. Stories of love and loss, adventure and discovery. The world as seen through the eyes of a writer, twisted though it may be.

@davidtoddmccarty I’m a self labeled agnostic so up front I’ve admitted I don’t have a clue. 🥸 Philosophically, if there is no purpose, there is no point. As an example, if we all end up dead, not existing, oblivious to a life, billions of lives lived, who cares how many good or bad things we did in our lives? I’d also argue that the Universe just exists, what happened on a speck of dust is of zero consequence, without meaning. And that might just be the answer, but I hope for more. 🤔
