Oh

Some good news for the Mission Mountains Wilderness in Montana: the U.S. Forest Service dropped a controversial burn plan! More than 14,000 of our supporters opposed the 15-year project, which included widespread habitat manipulation in the Wilderness. wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/good-news-miss…

So let me get this straight: Pulling a chunk of paint out of the Reflecting Pool gets you arrested for vandalism, but trump’s terrorists who attacked the Capitol, killed cops, broke windows, stole shit, and smeared their feces on the walls get to go free?

US Senate Candidate @jamestalarico up with his first 7 figure ad buy in Texas. This messaging is EXACTLY how it should be done by @TheDemocrats in every campaign from coast to coast.

This Elephant was spotted near Utkal Hospital in Odisha, India. drawing a huge crowd? The poor creature is searching for food. Humans have destroyed their homes, what else can they do? 💔

Remember the Bison almost went extinct Their population plummeted from an estimated 30 to 60 million to just a few hundred by 1900 It took many decades to bring them back but still only 0.1% of their original numbers Now Trump and GOP want them gone And Americans do sweet FA to save them

The U.S. government just handed sacred Apache land to a copper mine. When they're done, the ancient oaks where generations have prayed and come of age will be gone - replaced by a crater two miles wide. Chi'chil Biłdagoteel, known as Oak Flat, sits in Arizona's Tonto National Forest outside Superior. Its 2,422 acres of old-growth oaks, springs, and sacred sites have held San Carlos Apache prayers and coming-of-age ceremonies since time immemorial. The endangered Arizona hedgehog cactus grows here. An endangered ocelot was struck and killed on a nearby highway - a reminder of what else calls this place home. President Eisenhower protected this land from mining in 1955. That lasted 60 years, until the late Sen. John McCain slipped a last-minute provision into a must-pass defense bill in 2014, authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper. Below Oak Flat, the Sonoran Desert rises to meet you in thousands of saguaro cacti lining the drive up from Phoenix. Environmentalists warn that block-cave mining at this scale threatens the fragile water systems that sustain this entire ecosystem. Apache Stronghold fought it in court for over a decade. They took it all the way to the Supreme Court. The Court declined to hear it - no explanation, no ruling on the merits, just a closed door. Even Justice Neil Gorsuch, one of the Court's most conservative voices, wrote a dissent calling it a grievous mistake. This past March, the transfer was finalized anyway. The crater the mine leaves behind will be two miles wide and 1,100 feet deep. Permanent. The American people will receive zero in royalties. That's not an oversight - it's the 1872 Mining Law, a statute signed by Ulysses S. Grant that lets mining companies extract minerals from public land and pay nothing. It hasn't been updated in over 150 years. 150 years — can you believe it? Twenty-one of Arizona's 22 federally recognized tribes oppose this. Seventy-one percent of Americans support protecting Oak Flat. "We will never stop fighting," said Wendsler Nosie Sr. of Apache Stronghold. "This is a struggle for the soul of our people." What kind of country lets a 150-year-old law give away sacred land and call it legal? #DemsUnited

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

$600 MILLION for a vanity ballroom. $29+ BILLION for an illegal war. $300 BILLION for Iran. Even $14 MILLION for an algae-infested pool. But not a single penny for the 770,000 hungry kids in our country.

Ro Khanna: “There needs to be accountability for Elon Musk. They’re celebrating that he created 4,400 millionaires, but they don’t talk about the 4.5M children around the world who he possibly sentenced to death by dismantling USAID. He needs to answer for that. He needs to be subpoenaed, he needs to face investigation”

In 1980, an entire species had one mother. Her name was Old Blue. The Chatham Island black robin had been reduced to just 5 individuals, and Old Blue, identified by the blue band on her leg, was the only breeding female left alive. Introduced rats and cats had wiped the species from most of its range on the remote Chatham Islands, 500 miles east of New Zealand, and habitat loss had finished much of the damage. By the time Don Merton and his New Zealand Wildlife Service team began intensive management, there was almost nothing left to save. Merton realized that if Old Blue's eggs were removed and placed in the nests of Chatham Island tomtits, she would lay replacement clutches. The foster parents raised the first broods while Old Blue produced more eggs. Against all odds, the population began to grow. Old Blue was last seen in December 1983. By then, she had produced enough descendants to give the species a future. Every Chatham Island black robin alive today traces its ancestry back to her. Don Merton went on to apply similar techniques to endangered birds around the world before his death in 2011. The black robin remains one of conservation's most extraordinary success stories. Old Blue never knew how close her species came to disappearing forever. But she lived long enough to ensure that it didn't.

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

This race isn’t democrat against republican. It’s extreme wealth, power, and special interests against all the rest of us.

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission. And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate. [Mike Collins], who supports war and cutting your health care and openly associates himself with bigotry and antisemitism, who defends the violent mob that sacked the Capitol on the morning of January 6th, 2021… To this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated President.”

An outrageous attack on the rights and independence of the disability community. We will not let Trump’s DOJ drag us back to a time when Americans with disabilities were institutionalized against their will and ripped away from their families. Period.

Michigan is moving a bill that would penalize bystanders who come within 25 feet of a first responder on duty. We must ask ourselves why. Some of the most important moments of accountability in this country came from someone who had the courage to stand there and record. Twenty five feet in the dark, in a crowd, or in the chaos of the moment is not close enough to capture the truth. Transparency matters.

🚨 Republican Senator Jim Justice’s company was being investigated for dumping toxic pollutants into public waters. Trump has now ceased all investigations.

ICE hit & run over Black woman with car—just peacefully waving American flag. "She didn't know there was a vehicle behind her, and was not out to block traffic," said witness. "He didn't warn her, didn't honk, and didn't slow down." "If you strike a pedestrian—that is a crime under any situation under New Jersey law." This is the 2nd or 3rd time that same red Challenger has tried to run somebody over—according to witness. Man driving is a contract worker at the Delaney ICE for profit prison run by GEO Group in Newark, New Jersey. Durga Advocate for Justice does have an account on this platform—so posting this video here first to help them raise awareness. Video is safe to watch, contains additional eyewitness commentary, and does not show any graphic content.

This week we see temperatures reach the mid 30s, we are appealing to all greyhound stadiums please don't allow racing to go ahead.
