My message to Paramount: Don’t you dare pay that money to Trump!

Liberal SCOTUS justices refusing to allow Apache Stronghold’s appeal to prevent the destruction of sacred Oak Flat just drives home the contempt that settlers and their institutions have for Native people, cultures and religions.

Resolution Copper keep your hands off Native Lands & federal lands! No mining at Oak Flat. Shame on the US Supreme Court, this administration & all the greedy, weak-spined members of Congress letting them get away with this! #NoResolutionCopper #SaveOurLands #SaveOurParks #SaveOurPlanet #HandsOff

(1/4) Today, the Supreme Court announced that it would decline to hear a case brought by Apache Stronghold to defend Oak Flat. The group is affiliated with the San Carlos Apache Tribe, which has been fighting to save their sacred site from being turned into a copper mine.

The Supreme Court refuses to consider whether the Religious Freedom Restoration Act bars the government from destroying a sacred Western Apache site by turning it into a copper mine. Gorsuch, joined by Thomas, has an incandescently angry dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Resolution Copper is blocking comments and hiding replies from anyone calling out what they’re doing at Oak Flat. They’re trying to mine on sacred Native American land, with the government’s help, and don’t want the public to push back.

Oh my heart... 🌎

OK fine I give up. Fuck this country and this world. I don't care anymore. It hurts to care. I have been to three protests. I am mostly just trying to take care of myself. I want to have a container garden this summer.

Oh, why not build a mine on Arlington Cemetery ? FU nonSupreme Court, the indigenous were here first...

Rep. Andy Ogles just held a presser to attack immigrants inside a closed Capitol on Memorial Day and not a single local outlet asked him about his vote days before to rip health care from millions while cutting taxes for the rich and exploding the debt he pretends to care about.

I just...I don't ...😡

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the CDC will no longer recommend routine COVID-19 vaccine shots for healthy children and pregnant women. Follow live updates.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

"I have nothing to hide! I don't need digital privacy!" Well... - AI companies are scraping your data - Scammers are using AI to get better at their schemes - And yeah, a new era of government surveillance... A starter guide to protecting you online life:

Fact: The House Republican bill takes health care away from millions of Americans. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

As Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill moves to the Senate, we must make it clear: There is nothing “beautiful” about giving huge tax breaks to billionaires while cutting health care, nutrition and education for working families. It is grossly immoral and, together, we must defeat it.

People, please stop saying "might", "maybe", "could"; It's always been "is" and "will".

Researchers in Costa Rica found that pig carcasses decomposed twice as fast when vultures had access to them. The absence of vultures led to a doubling of fly populations at carcass sites, which could affect human health, since these flies can carry diseases like botulism and anthrax.

People forget...

How come no one is talking about Abrego anymore ?

POLITICO: “A federal judge is raising alarms that the Trump administration deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with ‘no meaningful process’ even as the child’s father was frantically petitioning the courts to keep her in the country.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Remember these names 👇

For @sierramagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about the Rice's whale -- a recently discovered species that lives solely in the fossil fuel-soaked Gulf of Mexico. The 51 remaining members of the species face some big threats. But they may have a secret weapon: people love whales. 🌎🧪

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination. Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France. Sheesh.

He got a REAL ID, is a citizen and was arrested and told his real id was fake. ICE is a disgrace.

Remember the 2nd case like Abrego Garcia, involving the gay man deported to Mexico n/w/s having been terrorized and held for ransom there? Judge Murphy orders the US to bring him back. not facilitate, not effectuate, bring him back.

Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

"Joshua trees symbolize the Southwest. Without federal protection, they could go extinct...Nearly 90% of the western trees’ current range — betw 2,000 and 6,000 feet in elevation — is projected to be climatically unfavorable as soon as 2040." 🌏 thenevadaindependent.com/article/josh...

Since 2022, it has been illegal to catch North Atlantic shortfin mako #sharks. So why is it so easy to buy their meat online? Safina Center Historical Journalism Fellow @raffiwriter.bsky.social writes about shark steaks and illegal #wildlife trade in his latest blog post 🌎

Too little Too late he got away with more destruction than anyone should $4.8M is a pittance compared to the $ he’s grifting as president — a $400M plane + 1B retrofit, crypto profits, millions from selling access, and so much more as he creates kingship. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/22/t...

Because they want to kill us, Congress voted to overturn a Clean Air Act regulation limiting toxic emissions from industrial facilities like refineries, chemical plants, and steel mills. This marks the first Congressional rollback of the landmark environmental law's protections since its creation.

As House Republicans pass a budget bill that takes from the poor to finance tax cuts predominantly for the rich, Trump is hosting a dinner for investors in his crypto business who spent a total of $394 million to gain access to him. It's clear who they really serve.

The stupidest man alive (🍊🤡) is attacking some of the most brilliant minds alive (Harvard). They are laughing in their faculty meetings.
