Sam Alito has an oil money problem Nearly 30 percent of Alito’s individual stock portfolio is directly tied to fossil fuels.

This should be a bigger story.

A short, thin woman in dark slacks and a light blue jacket, with chin-length brown hair and stooped shoulders, stands behind a podium, her hands clasped on its surface. Behind her, projected on the domed wall, is an enormous photograph of life underwater with a seal. A staffwoman from the Maui Ocean Center holds a mic and hosts the Q&A period

What a thrillβ€”to meet one of my all-time heroes! Sylvia Earle, "Her Deepness," the first woman to walk on the sea floor, the first woman chief scientist at NOAA. Now 92, she is small, with a quiet voice, but what a powerhouse for the sea!

Landscape view of a gentle rising mountain in the far distance, with bright blue water resting calm and peaceful around and in front of it. The mountain is topped with billowing white clouds that look like they might have more rain in them. Green trees and shrubs frame the view in the foreground and along the left side. The sky is vivid blue.

Sunshine after rain.

A light blue nudibranch viewed from above. It has an irregular black stripe on each side and two small black marks on its back. It is covered in white tubercles, some of which have yellow tops. The rhinopores are also yellow. It is crawling over a sandy seabed.

A nudibranch for you, Bluesky! This is a Phyllidia (I'm not sure exactly what species) from Anilao

Celebrating the Sea In the middle of a national crisis, I've been working on a website

My brand-new website! To express my love for the sea. I designed a lot of it, and working on it helped me remember to keep my heart openβ€”as open as the vast and rolling sea.

Here’s the behind-the-scenes tour of how the design came to be.

A large great gray owl flies towards the light of the setting sun, its eyes and facial disc lit up in a rosy gold hue.

I'm late to the party (it's been a busy weekend) but I had to post at least one #SuperbOwl before calling it a day :) #birds 🌿

61. The Language of Nonspeaking Beings And what a bougainvillea taught me about how long it can take to step into a kinship world

61. The Language of Nonspeaking Beings

How long does it take to move past the mind-body split of Descartes? In my case, a lifetime.

Some wisdom from mushrooms and from a bougainvillea I knew long ago about stepping toward a world of kinship.

The playbook of every successful nonviolent struggle Nonviolent movements that have toppled oppressive regimes, prevented coups and transformed societies follow these four essential steps.

Fantastic summary: The 4 steps to toppling dictators nonviolently.

Amy Westervelt says one nation at COP30 brought it:

β€œThe most inspirational action came from…the small but mighty Colombian delegation, the only one whose negotiators and civil society groups were unified in their call for one primary goal: a commitment to phase out fossil fuels.”

Where is your refutation of the ETA data? I'd like to review it, please.

As far as I can tell, nothing in the PA letter refutes the evidence presented by ETA or even directly addresses it. And who are you referring to when you say "our" data, please?

59. Did the People Choose This President? Listen now | Statistical analyses of voting data are raising serious red flags

Did Americans really vote for this? I needed to know. So I pored over statistical reports from @electiontruthalliance.org.

Here's what I found: it's worse than I'd heard! Evidence of vote manipulation across multiple states.

We need hand audits!

58. How Do We Know What Is True? Yes, everyone has a built-in place where they can see clearly. And getting there takes some practice.

To stand up to fascism, the most important thing we can do, every day, is to plant ourselves firmly in what is true. And yes, we all have the ability to see clearly and know what is true. Though getting there takes a little practice.

In the cool Missoula morning, supporters lined the sidewalk with bright orange marigolds, creating a path of hope leading to the courthouse. As our young plaintiffs walked through this tunnel of solidarity, they carried with them stories that no child should have to tell.

Youth v. Gov:

Here’s a moving update on the young people’s climate case against the govt. They just concluded two days of live testimony to a court in Missoula, MT. With Nobel laureates and scientists backing them up.

Lawsuit brought by Our Children’s Trust.
