The Owens Valley is a special, beautiful place that has survived in spite of our best efforts to destroy it. A Canadian mining company wants to begin exploration for an open pit gold mine just off the 395. BLM is accepting public comment til 6/16. Please speak out. eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui...

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

@peterhartlaub.bsky.social I sense a story here. How about finding out why the Warriors are still on X and don't have a presence here. I miss seeing their feed.

The Federal WaterSense® program that labels and promotes water-conserving devices has saved 8.7 trillion gallons of #water, 997 billion kWhrs of electricity, substantial #greenhousegas emissions, and $207 billion in water and #energy bills through 2023. Trump and the GOP are eliminating it.

The Trump administration is attempting to weaken the Endangered Species Act with a proposal to narrow its definition of “harm.” But this ignores the reality that if we lost forests, wetlands and other habitats to industry, we’d also lose the wildlife that depend on them.

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.
