Something to keep in mind…
The report estimated
that the average area burned by wildfires
would increase 77 percent by 2100
and the frequency of
extreme wildfires
would increase by nearly 50 percent
if global greenhouse gas emissions
continue at a high rate
may light surround the planet
with protection and love
may we effect the change that urgently needs to happen
this day is no different than any other...
I am traveling. many cars. endless options for consumption. maybe you are gathering together for the holiday. honoring not the plundering. honoring love, gratitude. perhaps a moment to be. together. together continues unabated. for goodess' sake. life continues unaware (even excels, creates greatness), unaware of our unravelling. salmon swim upstream until there is no longer water.
I often wonder what will it take to stop the complicity. can such be overcome. organize? disrupt?
HOT AIR NEWS ROUNDUP
California communities will serve Thanksgiving dinner to thousands of Camp Fire evacuees
The World Central Kitchen, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico State and several school groups are hosting "Thanksgiving Together," a communal meal they hope will "bring together and bless the community through the unifying and healing power of food."
The event page has gathered more than 800 volunteers who will work Wednesday and Thursday to set up, serve food and assist with cleanup.
Thousands Of Fire Evacuees To Spend The Holiday Without Homes
"I'll be giving thanks this year that we made it out alive," Peters says.
So many evacuees have fled to nearby Chico, prompting local businesses to try and give them a place to exhale.
"When you see them come in they have ash on their clothes. Or their face has soot on it. Because you don't know what they were doing," says Breanna Fischer, manager the Buffalo Wild Wings near the disaster recovery center. It's brought a stream of customers with different stories of survival.
The restaurant is usually closed on Thanksgiving Day. But tomorrow, she and the other managers decided not just to stay open, but to host a free feast for hundreds of fire survivors.
Global Warnings
QMS: Time to disconnect greed from the welfare of earth, if survival means anything. I like trees.
Paul Beckwith: "I declare a global climate change emergency to claw back up the rock face to attempt to regain system stability, or face an untenable calamity of biblical proportions."
Kevin Hester: "There is no past analogue for the rapidity of what we are baring witness to. There has been a flood of articles ... 2C is no longer attainable and that we are heading for dangerous climate change"
Guy McPherson: "The recent and near-future rises in temperature are occurring and will occur at least an order of magnitude faster than the worst of all prior Mass Extinctions. Habitat for human animals is disappearing throughout the world, and abrupt climate change has barely begun."

Turkeys to the right of me, turkeys to the left of me...it is a sad state of poultry when your goose is cooked!
Hope you all have a good day with family and friends. Enjoy what we have while it is here...just ask the folks in CA who lost so much. I'm off the B'ham to visit with both our families.

What's the difference? They're all far-right at this point.
Sure, they might give one half of the plebs a few crumbs to kill or imprison the other half, but we're all fucked when it's all said and done. And as for me? I'm over it.
You can't fight the pigs in any way, shape, form or fashion.
Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.
Guerrilla Liberalism won't liberate the US or the world from the iron fist of capital.
I really wonder about that...
that we can't fight them. the question for me is why not. why are we not organized enough to even try. I find this inordinately frustrating. bc I think we could. you can stop a big machine by sticking a monkey wrench into the gears. where is that flashing point? surely it exists.

JFK case began majority view of official stories as “fake news”?

Have never been in the majority opinion
But yes, I started questioning the 'official' version of events at a ripe young age of 8 in 1963. Not much has happened since to convince me of the lies the government use are anywhere near the truth.

yep, there were plenty of questions floating around at the time that got steamed rolled over by the media. Looks like that has continued to this day. We will never know the true story.
Thanks for keeping on keeping on. Have a good one...

Goodmorning, lotl. The Bay of Pigs set the stage for that with
the official narrative being exposed as a lie before it got a chance to be repeated enough to become accepted truth. Spring of '61.

Good morning, magi, and thanks for this. Go enjoy and
be safe and well in your travel and celebration. We can, after all celebrate Third Thursday without celebrating colonists and colonization.
Have a great one.

Just looked at some clips of the Macy's Thanksgiving parade
Lot's of floats about turkeys, pilgrims, uncle Sam etc., and no floats about the ensuing persecution and mass killing of the natives who saved the pilgrim's a**e* from starvation.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Yah man
The symbols are consistent, pilgrims, turkey, sneak peak at santa. How about the Day of Mourning for the natives?

I can’t tell when the ads end
All the floats are ads for large companies (Love pentatonix but they were flogging baked goods...)
Just watched two earnest talking heads wishing displaced California fire victims well. No mention of climate, urban sprawl or the unwillingness of PG&E to turn off power when offshore winds are forecast.
We can’t save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed.

thanks for looking
so we don't have to.
really, it is the ultimate form of resource extraction...take the land, kill the people or force them into slavery. rape the land. f*c up the water and the air. repeat. wtf is wrong with us. anyway.
have a very good one...

Speaking of
Wherein Clinton lets her mask slip once again...
Hillary Clinton: Europe must curb immigration to stop rightwing populists
Yes, that actually happened while everyone was watching the president predictably make an ass of himself in front of the troops.
Hillary echos the Orange One
I'm surprised Her didn't just go ahead and use Trump's term for the migrants - Invaders.
Not a damn word about why people are fleeing their homes. Not really surprising, as Hillary Clinton bears much responsibility for the situation worldwide.
As bad as Trump is - and he is astoundingly bad, today I am thankful that Her is not the president of the USA.
