There is a terrific environmental link on NC that I read/watched today. It’s a YouTube video called “The Weir.” It describes the peaceful relationship between humans mapping and studying salmon, and Grizzly bears. The research has been going on for over 45 years. The area is beautiful, protected and undisturbed. With all the climate catastrophes happening, this is a positive shot-in-the-arm. The Nest is Open.

Fujimori had claimed fraud despite observers from the Organization of American States, the United States and European Union declaring the vote free and fair.
Prosecutors have said they would seek a 30-year jail term for Fujimori on charges of taking money from scandal-tainted Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht to fund failed presidential bids in 2011 and 2016.
Under Peruvian law, the case against Fujimori would have been suspended if she had become president until after her term.

Meanwhile, independent journalists who didn't base their entire existence and worldview on Trump — but understood there were other relevant power centers, problems and pathologies that had nothing to do with him — are thriving more than never. Maybe draw some lessons from this?

For a new podcast, I want to hear your voice on the question of capitalism. Do you think capitalism is salvageable? Do you think it can be made to work for everyone? What life experiences have informed you?
Call 202-596-6119 and leave me a concise voicemail with your thoughts.

Sen. @BernieSanders says what we’ve all been talking about: “if [the bipartisan] talks, for whatever reason, fall apart, we’re going to have to put physical infrastructure into the reconciliation.”
So, 3.5T will go up.

News: Ohio State Council of Machinists announces endorsement of @ninaturner.
In Congress, she will continue her fight for working families by championing:

➕The Green New Deal
These policies are needed, but they are just the beginning… pic.twitter.com/99R9KQAFB9

So, @ninaturner is among America’s leading voices for #FightFor15 and #MedicareForAll. Anyone who says otherwise is being deliberately deceptive and less-than-honest.

Today I got an email from Clyburn fundraising for Shontel. So I unsubscribed from his emails. I hope lots of Nina supporters do the same to let him know we disapprove his direction. I had contributed to his campaign in the past before he became the hit man against Bernie. I still continued to receive, and ignore, his emails but this was the last straw.

listened. very good. An economist named Steve keen, I believe. and an environmentalist. Disagree on considering nuclear power, but a good podcast sounds like they’re Irish maybe.
