I wish you had captured & played the part where Scott says that his son is thinking of joining the military and how he supports it b/c the administration is doing such a bang up job on the war.

What most decision-makers are unbothered by: species extinction, drought, flooding, contaminated soil, heat-related deaths, dead peatlands, concrete-encased cities, dying forests, and "forever chemicals" in rivers.
But what prompts them to pull out all the stops:
When fuel prices rise.
"IT WASN'T HITLER OR HIMMLER WHO ABDUCTED ME, BEAT ME & SHOT MY FAMILY, IT WAS THE COBBLER, THE MILKMAN, THE NEIGHBOR WHO GOT A UNIFORM AND THEN BELIEVED THEY WERE THE MASTER RACE." CKAREL STOIKA, AUSCHWITZ survivor
Yes. I didnโt understand what was going on. He died 6 yrs ago and I got a copy of his military records. I found the info in his records. It was only then that I understood. No one talked abt it. I understand now why he turned to alcohol. There was no diagnoses of PTSD back then.
Text Today, I signed an executive order establishing the first-ever Mayorโs Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs and appointing the brilliant Taylor Brown as Director. Queer New Yorkers deserve to be not just protected, but celebrated in this city. Together, we will fight for their right to live a life of dignity, safety, and unabashed pride.
The White House is considering ending funding for a longtime civil rights election program aimed at protecting the rights of minority populations to vote.
The program sends neutral, third-party observers to monitor election sites to ensure voters don't experience discrimination at the polls.

During Viet Nam my dad (USAF) was assigned to ceremonies receiving the remains of soldiers coming home to the final rest. It affected him so deeply he went on to experience severe depression & anxiety. THAT seems to me to be an understandable reaction.
"The Glacier Melt Is This Dramatic
Glaciers in Austria continue to lose massive amounts of length, surface area, and volume. According to the Alpine Club's new glacier report, the situation has now shifted "from shrinkage to disintegration." โ Video โ derStandard, March 13, 2026"
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.
Trump is not the only one that has blood on his hands.

I read the โSave America Act,โ so you donโt have to. Most of the media apparently *hasnโt* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
