Now we have praised the folks of Minneapolis and the marching Buddhist monks for standing up for democracy and variety in opposition to assaults on DEI from the MAGA White Home.
Individuals are blowing the whistle on the Epstein world, the place billionaires and different highly effective males the world over have been concerned in abusing over 1200 ladies and ladies. UN consultants say we’re speaking a few scale that quantities to crimes towards humanity.* An enormous cover-up remains to be occurring at DOJ, even after Congress handed a legislation demanding full disclosure. Disgrace, disgrace, disgrace.
However we should keep in mind different youngster victims of the present administration as nicely. I’m speaking particularly of the deliberate makes an attempt at matricide, the killing of Mom Earth and her many creatures, together with however not restricted to the two-legged ones. Are these not additionally crimes towards humanity?
To destroy and dismantle legal guidelines and rules handed to defend Mom Earth from toxic air, soil, and waters is one other type of youngster abuse and hatred of the younger and people but to be born.
A part of the technique of Challenge 2025 has been to so flood the information with a number of unhealthy headlines every single day that disorientation and chaos turn into the secret. The destiny of Mom Earth is usually uncared for by the media who relegate it to the interior pages when it deserves front-page headlines.
When Mom Earth is abused, we’re all abused, and future generations are abused, particularly the kids who’re most susceptible and can be pressured to pay the results of a depleted Earth down the road. Not solely human youngsters, however all of the wonderful species with whom we share this Earth undergo from a depleted surroundings.
Parallel to the Epstein class that abuses youngsters, the dedication to matricide by politicians and their company allies ensures additional youngster abuse for generations to return. To not breathe wholesome air and eat from wholesome soil or drink and swim in wholesome waters is abuse, plain and easy.
Think about these headlines simply final week:

These headlines ought to get up and rattle each human being on the planet—and certainly each mom and father–and deeply so. It’s comparable to 1’s youngster being victimized by an evil Epstein pedophile ring.
Kudos to the group calling itself “Mothers Clear Air Power” that’s main the best way in defending households from this evil being perpetuated by MAGA.
One can not think about a extra thorough rejection of Pope Francis’s name for “look after our frequent dwelling” in his groundbreaking encyclical on the surroundings, “Laudato Sí.” One would count on each Catholic bishop in America (together with all different non secular leaders) to face up and shout about defending life from this blatant gutting of environmental legal guidelines and safety.
Margo T. Oge, who served three presidents as high EPA car emissions regulator, mentioned: “The U.S. now not has emission requirements of any that means. Nothing. Zero. Not many nations have zero.”**
