It’s such an easy thing to do to avoid palm oil, just read a label. Sure, you may have to give up a food you like and find an alternative, but palm oil is the LEADING CAUSE OF decimation of rainforests. Is it REALLY too much to ask for the planet for you to find a different thing to eat??

Bribery in plain sight.

seems like the administration is objectively pro plane crash www.washingtonpost.com/transportati...

"Abandoned coalmines and oil and gas wells are now one of the biggest sources of the powerful greenhouse gas methane" - what a wonderful world it would be if big business was forced to clean up its own filth. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

DOL ending benefits every worker should have. Under Secretary Chavez DeDumbest and Felon Trump the department of labor is no longer a model for America’s workforce. They put American workers last. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hard to like this one but I did in support of @ufw.bsky.social We should embrace our neighbors to the south with open arms, instead, well, it's just embarrassing as all hell.

NEW: The Trump administration’s slashing of budgets and staff have Great Lakes scientists concerned that they have lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and sicken people. By @annaleighclark.bsky.social

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Thousands of satellites being sent into orbit by SpaceX and rivals like Amazon eventually have to come down. Incinerating them in the atmosphere releases damaging pollutants that pose new threats to the planet's protective shield. Read The Big Take ⤵️ www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

I keep saying this... both operationally and in research, the situation is still much worse than most people seem to realize or want to accept.

May Day Lancaster PA - 1,500 strong

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

1. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money. The winners get a private reception with Trump and a VIP a tour of the White House. So far, many of the leaders appear to be foreign nationals.

#HandsOff Lancaster PA

A 2-year old US Citizen was deported Friday to Honduras. “The judge on Friday scheduled a hearing for May 16, which he said was ‘in the interest of dispelling our strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.’” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Purported ICE agents raid a courthouse in Charlottesville in plain clothes without badges, ID or warrants, cart off two men without explanation. One of the three men was masked and the detainees were ushered into unmarked van. Video in the article. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

NEW: Two unlawful Israeli strikes on the Lebanese town of Younine between Sept. and Nov. 2024 were apparent indiscriminate attacks on civilians. At least one of the attacks used an air-dropped bomb equipped with a United States-produced JDAM guidance kit.

At RFK Jr’s direction, HHS plans to cut the National Suicide Hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth. In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

Thanks Felon Trump!

How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

Trump’s budget proposal would fully eliminate Head Start More than 1 million parents wouldn't be able to go to work under the proposal, the National Head Start Association warns.

Trump and his White House have publicly mused about sending Americans to El Salvador. Those conversations are happening behind the scenes, too, sources say — and revolve around plans to denaturalize U.S. citizens.

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

@cf-neverforget.bsky.social does awesome work helping Ukrainian soldiers get some amazing SUVs with battery packs, jammers, and a host of other tools to help the brave warriors of Ukraine 🫡💙💛

Halting already committed funding to support local transitions to electric buses across the US is so shortsighted: No only does the transition reduce carbon consumption, but it also reduces asthma risks in communities. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireS...

Last May, elite law firm Paul, Weiss launched its award-winning "Center to Combat Hate" to fight extremism. Now, the firm’s been silent on the Center's future after striking a deal to lift Trump's order against the company. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Make it make sense

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

Trump just denied FEMA relief to North Carolina. A state that voted for him 3 times. Saying hurricane relief was “unwarranted.” You voted for this North Carolina. He told you what he would do. To all the people who didnt vote for him in that state, im really sorry this is happening to you

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

🔴 ⚠️In the 2nd warmest March globally and the warmest ever for Europe according to ERA5 data,the Arctic has been widely hotter than the average and colder especially in the far EAST and a small portion of Canada.But the Canadian Archipelago reached +9.5°C. #ClimateEmergency @oceanterra.org

I need people to understand that the animals genetically engineered by Colossal are not dire wolves. They have not performed 'de-extinction,' and it's misinformation to claim otherwise. It's incredibly worrying and damaging to conservation because things like this were bound to happen:

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Migrant detainees should be in a maximum-security El Salvador prison "for the rest of their lives," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says — despite a recent CBS News investigation that found more than 75% of those sent to the prison had NO criminal records.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.
