Knowing that the regime will likely be "making an example" out of liberal states that commonly have large protests, more states should be acting, like Oregon is, to limit federal use of their Nation Guard units. Especially going into wildfire season- the National Guard will be needed elsewhere.

Stealing public land to put it in private hands is hideous. As an Oregonian, I know how much we treasure our green spaces and we should be outraged. Know someone who has Republican representation, have them call, call, call! Check out the map on this site. www.wilderness.org/articles/blo...

Yesterday I saw a post about some obscenely cheap chicken nuggets available at the grocery. I use the word "obscenely" because the true cost of those nuggets is paid by the chickens and the workers who made them into nuggets. www.indiegogo.com/projects/the...

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

The NYT did a piece on women and children dying because their HIV treatments had been taken away by the US regime. It was very hard to read. I'm glad someone put this website together to show just how harmful the "policies" are. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...

I found my first stubby dendronotid (Dendronotus subramosus) while tidepooling last weekend - they are completely adorable and remind me vaguely of tardigrades! #nudibranchs

House Democrats are fighting back against Trump's Tax Scam by getting Republicans on the record. Democrats have introduced over 100 amendments to protect people's health care but Republicans have voted down all of them, including: Requiring HHS to certify the bill won't reduce Medicaid coverage. 🧵

With news of a “temporary truce” with China on our self-imposed tariffs, we’re really getting a crash course on the “Art of the Deal.“

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

A lot of people are blind to the backup plan by billionaires. They've been buying up islands for decades now, building compounds, planning on going to mars. It shouldn't be a surprise that they plan to push everything to the brink and then scurry into their lairs. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
