Midway through this month, Democratic Representative Hakeem Jeffries sent out a fundraising text saying that he “recently announced a 10-point plan to take on Trump and the Republicans.” But the plan was no more recent than early February, just two weeks after President Trump’s inauguration. It’s hardly reassuring that the House minority leader cited a 100-day-old memo as his strategy for countering the administration’s countless moves since then to dismantle entire government agencies, destroy life-saving programs and assault a wide range of civil liberties.

Young people planting trees

To prepare for another successful year of tree giveaways, help us plant trees in pots at our Linden tree nursery location! We will need help planting trees, organizing rows, marking pots, placing stakes, and getting the nursery ready for the growing season. Bring your friends! We need all the help we can get to prepare 3,000 trees for our fall giveaway. Green Columbus would not be able to give away free trees each year without the help of our wonderful volunteers. Come out for the morning and enjoy the outdoors with us! The link to sign up is below.

US House Reconciles Legislation That Handicaps Renewable Energy Projects

The Republican controlled House of Representatives passed reconciliation legislation that effectively will eliminate nearly every renewable energy incentive that is currently in place.

The bill will end the 30 percent residential solar investment tax credit by the end of this year and the applicability of residential solar leases for tax credits.

The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and the Production Tax Credit (PTC) for commercial and utility scale projects would go away completely for any project not placed in service by the end of 2028. 

There are a couple of poison pill provisions put into this legislation that are designed to prevent any renewable energy projects from moving forward. 

The slaughter goes on, usually in the name of war, which reduces human life to, at best, a strategic abstraction. Dead civilians – dead children – are collateral damage, which means they’re nothing at all.

How can we be more than just spectators as we learn, every day, more stunning details about the hell going on across the planet? How can the human race stand up collectively to the cancer of war? Humanity, in the name of nationalism, has essentially organized itself against itself: We’ve declared one another “the enemy,” which means that only some of us are human. The others are simply in the way.

Introduction 

This post focuses on examples of Trump’s inflated self-image as a president who sees himself as being above the law, his implausible notion of making manufacturing in the U.S. a dominating global force, and how, as one example,

his policies harm the poor.

#1 - A thirst for power

Trump casts himself as a superior president, among the best 3 or 4 presidents in U.S. history. Indeed, he has said his presidency is like being a king. He has also viewed himself as a “messiah,” as Robert Reich notes, Donald Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus. “Whether he actually has a messiah complex or is just conning his supporters, he's playing to a growing GOP faction that wants America to be a white Christian Nationalist state, with Donald Trump as a divine ruler. Be Warned” (https://tiktok.com/rbreich/video/7384440520371899694)

I write this as someone who has long worked across ideological divides to bring people together around shared values of health, freedom, and stewardship of the land. I have dedicated my life to helping heal the broken systems that shape our food and our future.

I write this with deep respect for the courage it takes to lead, and with a profound commitment to the principles that unite us: The right to nourish our families, the freedom to protect our health, and the responsibility to care for the land that sustains us all.

This is a call to action for leaders, for the MAHA community, and for every American who believes that a healthy future is worth building, and where necessary, fighting for!

A Call to Action for Health, Freedom, Life and the Land

If you were harmed by a product that caused cancer, infertility, or liver disease, would you expect to have the right to seek justice in a court of law? Most Americans would answer yes. No one understands that principle better than America’s farmers, who have long been both stewards of the land and, increasingly, frontline victims of chemical harm.
