Make no mistake, we all deserve a pat on the back. The GOP is making a janky attempt at a coup, but it is in vain. Biden won. A stellar outcome.
It was a heroic effort on the part of ordinary American voters and poll watchers and administrators at the local level. Every single county. We pulled off (in the middle of a pandemic) a free and fair and relatively frictionless election. And one, that if you believe in democracy, revealed that Trump has many many voters. To us* who have been reviled by Trump and who were hoping for a landslide, the results of the votes are that Trump has not been repudiated in a landslide---there are lots and lots and lots of Trump voters in this country. If you accept election as reality, you have to accept that reality too.
Which leads me to this question. How did one of the two major parties in a rich, functioning democracy become such an unrepentantly illiberal and extremist party? How did this happen?
And what exactly, is the future, of disinformation?
How did MAGA succeed so wildly? We now have a huge swath of the US population radicalized against any form of ordinary European social welfare of the kind that our peers enjoy.
If McConnell holds on to the senate, because we're not successful in winning both runoff races in Georgia, the number of things that can happen for Biden legislatively is sadly, tragically, infinitesimal.
And McConnell won't care. Unemployment can go up. The pandemic can rage. The deficit can get out of control. Senior administration officials and even cabinet positions not being filled––he doesn't care. He just doesn't care.
So we have to make moves. Please volunteer an hour of your time, if you can. The site below will help you reach out to voters (some of them first time voters) directly via text or call.
The experience of living in America in 2020 is of living in two completely distinct countries with two different sets of facts and realities that are geographically coincident. Not entirely maybe (cities are more blue, rural areas are more red) but, you know, you can live cheek by jowl with people who have just a completely different apprehension of what is going on in the world and what is true.
It is most distressing, but there is only one way to steer the ship in the direction of progress (think human rights, climate policy) and that my friends, is to act.
"Stop The Steal" rally courtesy disinformation campaign, origins Roger Stone:
*Us, as in those of us who condemn Trump's myriad abuses of power but also recognize that a federal prosecution case against him is a bad idea. It will further martyr him amongst his base, and bring yet more media coverage to Trump, a subject none of us wants to endure more of frankly.
And to make things fair, here’s just another take:

Water scarcity can lead to both drought and desertification as well as instigate conflict in communities and between countries. 22 March is World Water Day, a day to focus attention on the importance of fresh water and advocate for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

Within the former German-Soviet Environmental Agreement in the years 1989-1991 3 biological expeditions to the Taymyr peninsula in northernmost Siberia were performed. They laid the ground for the establishment (1993) of the Great Arctic Reserve (Zapovednik). The Taymyr peninsula is covered by the most extensive and northernmost tundra habitats in Siberia. These enormous wetlands are used during the short Arctic summer by millions of waterbirds, which winter in Southern Europe, Southern Asia and Africa. The biodiversity of the Taymyr peninsula is with 20% well covered with different kinds of protected areas. However, there may be need to connect them by South-North corridors to secure adaptation of biodiversity moving North with climate change. With increased warming and thawing of tundra massive release of methane stored in the ground could trigger further climate change.

The arched long pearl-string clouds grew from a chemtrail adsorbing extant atmospheric moisture. All clouds depicted here appear to be fake manmade chemtrail clouds.
Daily photographs of the sky and clouds document chemtrails and weather.

My series of photographs focuses on environmental degradation affecting everyday life. Since last one hundred years, the equation between natural resources and human population has seriously gone wrong resulting in chaotic imbalance of ecosystems and human societies. The world faces dearth of food and space for human population; as a result the burden results in rapid deforestation, invasion of wild spaces, global warming, and land erosion. Excessive consumption of fossil fuel causes environmental warming. This phenomenon is outrageously rampant in Pakistan because of lacking awareness. Our glaciers are receding, valleys becoming polluted and agricultural lands being colonized to accommodate ever bulging population. My photographs (multiple exposure technique) provoke the viewer to concentrate on invasive role of increasing local tourism in polluting glacial landscapes, rivers, lakes and mountain valleys. Heaps of non biodegradable plastic bags and bottles not only litter surroundings but also mark irreversible effects on environmental preservation.
The Arctic represents one of the least populated areas in the world, with only sparse settlements and very few large cities and towns - in comparison with e.g. continental Europe. The largest cities are in Northwest Russia, and Reykjavik is the only national capital in the Arctic. The extraction of natural resources has emerge as a main interest and priority in the Arctic region, and this may cause increases and shifts in population.

Axios reporter Amy Harder moderates a keynote conversation with Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL), who chairs the newly created House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.
Climate change has reemerged as a top priority on Capitol Hill — and the conversation has matured from whether to take action to how.

Fire Drill Friday is a climate action series of protests created by Jane Fonda. Joaquin Phoenix just after he got released from being arrested.
Various populations of sea turtle species and their nesting sites are vulnerable to sea-level rise, increased storminess and changing temperatures -- all impacts of climate change. These factors may result in current nesting and foraging sites becoming unsuitable for federally threatened and endangered turtle species -- especially loggerhead sea turtles.

ANACORTES, WASHINGTON-- On Saturday, May 14, 2016, activists began their second day blockading the train tracks leading to the oil refineries in Anacortes. The activists slept overnight at the encampment on the train tracks as part of the Break Free actions happening around the world.
Thousands of people began converging in Anacortes, WA, as part of the global climate mobilization Break Free. Many are now risking arrest by engaging in peaceful civil disobedience to highlight the moral urgency of immediate action to combat climate change.
Anacortes is home to two fossil fuel refineries owned by Shell and Tesoro. These refineries are the largest unaddressed source of carbon pollution in the Northwest and they refine 47% of all the gas and diesel used in the region.
Break Free Pacific Northwest events will continue throughout the weekend.

Icebergs broken from glaciers drift south on the east Greenland current. Evidence of arctic warming is present in widespread melting of glaciers and sea ice. Melting of reflective snow and ice will reveal darker land and ocean, which will increase our planet's absorption of heat. This could lead to a feedback loop of further warming and melting.
