#USA #US Fires in the U.S. are getting faster, larger and more dangerous, but people continue to develop and move into fire-prone regions. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) shows that if we don't act on climate change, which fuels fires, manage vegetation or transform how we build and adapt to fire, the risk to structures in the U.S. will almost triple by midcentury https://phys.org/news/2026-11-losses-triple.html #ClimateChange

#USA #US Most forecasts project Democrats winning the House and a narrow majority in the Senate in the November 3 election. But without control of the White House, passing any legislation will be difficult and almost any climate policy will have to be a bipartisan endeavor, say analysts Given that and the Democrats’ messaging-shift to affordability over climate, few experts expect a fully resurrected Inflation Reduction Act https://globalnation.inquirer.net/345354/for-us-democrats-climate-policy-is-now-about-energy-bills/amp #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

@tusk81@mastodon.social With all that the Trump regime is doing with ICE, I am constantly reminded of this quote from *The Diary of Anne Frank* "Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared". Anne Frank, 1943 #Trump #ICE #Nazis #GOP #Politics #US #USA #Quote #Quotes #Meme #Memes

A Republican in your bathroom? New ad highlights GOP’s anti-trans obsession The 30-second spot, entitled “Republicans In Your Bathroom,” targets the GOP over its fixation on restricting trans people’s access to restrooms and locker rooms. The ad, which The Hill reports is part of a larger buy worth over $1 million per The Hill, begins with a young girl entering a bathroom and to her horror, encountering an older white-haired man sitting in the stall waiting for her. He greets her with a short hello. Immediately, the girl presses the man for answers, “What are you doing? Who are you?” “I’m your Republican congressman. Now that we’re in charge, I’m checking to make sure that there’s no trans people in the wrong bathroom,” he says. Her response: “Bathrooms are private. Don’t you have anything better to do?” “I won the last election, and this is my priority,” he says, “Now let’s make sure you’re really a girl,” ending with an ominous smirk.

#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings

  1. Months ago, I hand wrote and mailed short notes to several people living in the same neighborhood to thank them for political signs that encouraged me by demonstrating there are good people even during dark times. A few of them wrote kind letters back to me.

  2. A few weeks ago, I hand wrote and mailed short notes to thank people who flew pride flags in their yards. One of them wrote back and I enjoyed reading her note today.

  3. I have a young and outgoing neighbor who inspires me with her outgoing personality and kindness. Today, I will begin writing more notes to neighborhood people to thank them for kind acts I have accidentally witnessed and perhaps for the flowers in their yards that I see while walking my dog.
