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
We are creating a food crisis: • One-third of all food produced worldwide is wasted (UN data). • In the US, 40% of food waste goes to landfill, where it creates 30m metric tons of CO2 equivalent a year*. • *More than Cuba’s total annual CO2 emissions in 2024. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Plastics contamination an ‘overlooked’ concern in food waste schemes, experts sayResearchers find microplastics can persist in compost, leaching into agricultural soilswww.theguardian.com"We do not know the future—how high the seas will rise, how many forests will burn, how many songs and voices of creatures will fall silent. We do not know. But we know this: Things have been set in motion that cannot be undone." @emergencemagazine.bsky.social emergencemagazine.org/essay/a-prim...

Bombshell Uncovered: Evidence Shows Blanche Likely Committed Witness Bribery, Evidence Tampering, and Conspiracy in New Mexico. Those Crimes Carry at Least Seven and a Half Years in State Prison.Sufficient evidence rests in the public record, and opening a criminal investigation requires far less than proof beyond a reasonable doubt. This all rests on the New Mexico Attorney General.cmarmitage.substack.comIn light of Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General, Heather Cox Richardson reviews the history of Watergate – a scandal that turned the nation on its ear and resulted in President Nixon's resignation. Odd to now see Watergate as a mild scandal. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-8-2...
"Congressional Republicans are worse than profiles in cowardice. They’ve nearly become a criminal enterprise, actively colluding with the neofascist in the Oval Office." -Robert Reich robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...
Sunday thought: Criminals in ControlAnd what we must dorobertreich.substack.comLove what AOC has to say about the millennial wave that's shaping politics.
AcynAOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins
Kristi Noem was all giddyup in leading Trump's war on immigrants until her erstwhile husband was outed as a cross-dresser. Irony is the one and only amusing thing about the Trump administration.
Hoodlum 🇺🇸Bryon Noem reportedly crashed the unveiling of the life-sized bronze statue of Kristi Noem and her horse, Iceman, in Pierre, South Dakota.
Tragic and absurd that we have to waste our time fighting climate deniers while everyone one on this planet should be rising to the challenge of facing humanity’s greatest challenge. qr.ae/pFgujv

Do any scientists agree with "climate deniers" (people who don't believe in human-caused global warming)?Ned Ford's answer: There are lots of “scientists” who dispute climate science, but they are oil company engineers and nuclear engineers who are threatened by cheap wind and solar and energy efficiency...qr.aeGood to see the album that led to my college nickname – Abbey Rhodes.
The 70s Guy8th August 1969, the photo session for the cover of The Abbey Road album took place on the crossing outside Abbey Road studios. Photographer Iain McMillan, balanced on a step-ladder in the middle of the road, took 6 shots of John, Ringo, Paul & George walking across a zebra crossing. #Beatles
"This is the pattern every single time – he swings first then folds the second anyone swings back." Great narration detailing Trump's cowardly ways.

What a hypocrite. ICE's murder and brutality, Trump corruption and destruction – that was all OK with him, until they came for his wife.

Sustained noncooperation is exactly what we need more of to fight the Trump regime.
Luca MigoHealthcare workers belong in hospitals, not detention centers. Over 100 nurses rallied outside Maine Medical Center in Portland on Aug 5, forcing ICE to release Debora Kapisha on Aug 6. Organize, speak out, and demand permanent protection for essential workers. 🎥NowThisImpact
One of my favorite albums of all time, A Question of Balance has been my shelter in many a storm.
The 70s GuyA Question of Balance was the 6th album by The Moody Blues. The album was an attempt by the group to strip down their lush, psychedelic sound in order to be able to better perform the songs in concert. Released on 7 Aug 1970, the album reached No 1 in the UK and #3 in the US. I loved it! #MoodyBlues
