In Real Time
10/26/23 • 18 min
Scientists Pursue Climate Activism Despite Violent Threats.

They'll Show Up Armed
In Real Time
07/15/22 • 16 min
Four months into the “In Real Time” project, I see our nation’s condition taking a
dramatic turn for the worse. Rising threats of election-year corruption and violence, devastating Supreme Court decisions on climate, guns, and abortion have many of us reeling. Movements for human rights, democracy, and the environment are pressing on nonetheless.

T-Junction Ahead
In Real Time
04/17/22 • 15 min
“In Real Time” is a month-by-month account of what could be the most fateful span of time for our country since the 1860s. The series will follow the climate, voting rights, and justice movements as they work to help clear a livable path for all, no matter whose hands are on the levers of power in Washington and our state capitals. In this initial episode, we explore a stark choice that all Americans now face: Will we turn toward a deeper, more inclusive democracy and a livable future for all or toward a life under far-right, autocratic rule in an ecologically impoverished world? https://citylights.com/blog/https://landinstitute.org/
The Far-Right Assault on Our Future
In Real Time
01/17/23 • 16 min
This month, Stan looks into some odd events that were largely eclipsed by the onrush of blockbuster political headlines that closed out 2022. The fall was punctuated by a puzzling series of attacks on electrical substations. The Department of Homeland Security warns of more to come. Motives for the attacks remain unknown, but they may have both political and ecological implications.

A Deeply Rooted Farm Bill
In Real Time
03/16/23 • 16 min
With the next five year agriculture bill under debate in Congress, one side of the aisle is aiming to jettison the bill's climate and conservation programs, while the other side wants to strengthen them. But to be truly sustainable, US agriculture must go farther and become perennial.

Keep Fascism at Bay
In Real Time
11/21/23 • 21 min
At the 18 month point of the In Real Time series, is it time to ask whether a country like the US can achieve bold climate action, let alone socioeconomic justice, when it has only one major political party that's committed to democracy and the rule of law?

A Better Brand of Pessimism
In Real Time
08/15/22 • 16 min
Last month, Stan discussed how election official, racial-justice and climate activists, and others are becoming targets of right-wing political violence—and responding with nonviolence. In this episode, he speaks with some climate writers and activists who urge that movements respond to the multiple existential threats that society now faces by uniting across issues to confront all of them, including climate, together—no matter how long the odds against us.
