It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Happy Lunar New Year! As this is the Year of the Snake, I give you Ceanothus ophiochilus (#Rhamnaceae). The epithet means “snake lips”: “…the rounded leaf margins [have] a distinctive pattern resembling the labial scales about the mouths of some snake species.” Photos: Jeff Bisbee CCBYNC4 🌱

The Trump Administration’s hiring freeze has led the National Parks Service to cancel job offers for seasonal employees. We are concerned this could leave our parks understaffed during the busy summer season, which sees over 100 million visitors annually.

NEW: California leaders reject Trump order to allow immigration enforcement in schools. “This is an abuse of power & goes against the constitutional right of every child to have a public education. Schools are meant to be safe spaces where children can learn & grow without fear.” #RESIST

NEW: Trump has terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci's security detail. Trump has now cancelled security protection for John Bolton, Mike Pompeo & Fauci, all of whom served in his administration. There’s no evidence that threats towards any of them have diminished. Vindictive & dangerous.
