Today on The Earth Wants YOU!

We deal with the tragic shadow in our New York neighborhoods, the abductions of long-time New Yorkers, fathers pulled from living rooms, children looking on in horror. Our guest in the studio was the co-founder of the New Sanctuary Movement, Juan Carlos Ruiz, who already this morning was dealing with disappearances, as the Blackwater USA-like immigration cops snatch loved ones without communicating reasons, whereabouts, health or injury...

Kirsten Saloomey talks fake news and media literacy and we all listen to the haunting sounds of the blue-throated Macaw.

Today’s radio ruminating is upon the subject of PIPELINES AND PASSPORTS. We need to make this mental leap: The fossil fuel extraction is the same thing as the extraction of people, I. e. Americans who are called illegal and are terrorized, seized from their homes, by the immigrant cops. Pipelines and passports. The Earth’s blood is drained from it and burned to fix toxins in our atmosphere, soil and water. And the manufacture of fear by our President, demonizing everyone who is the OTHER, from Mexicans to Moslems to all women - just everyone he can curse…. FEAR brings Trump his power and it is fear that brings his constituency their billions. The more the fear the more they manhandle us, ending life as we came to enjoy it by killing our neighbors and killing the Earth. But we counter with our fierce love, don’t we children?
