A fed' court halted Wildlife Services’ predator-killing program across 6.2M acres of public lands—banning traps, poisons, and aerial gunning in Nevada’s Wilderness & Wilderness Study Areas.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

Urge your Senators to vote NO! Rather than allowing Trump administration to unleash a logging bonanza on old growth and mature trees🌲, Senators should propose an alternative bill focused on sensible wildfire mitigation strategies such as home hardening, local emergency planning, & defensible space.

Today, I stood with @lettercarriers.bsky.social Branch 283 and other postal unions to fight against USPS privatization. The USPS is vital to our communities—delivering medications, mail, and more, no matter where you live. We must protect it! #FightLikeHell #HellNo

I’ve 12 years experience in federal grants contracting. This statement is starkly insightful! Centralizing contracting & putting AI (with easily manipulated code) in charge of award decisions removes multiple layers of human “checks and balances” meant to ensure lawful spending of tax payer dollars.

First he put a logging lobbyist in charge of national forests. Now they're going to log growth forests circumventing water, endangered species, & regulator issues. Forests are the earth's lungs. Gifted article: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/c... Project 2025 #Demvoice1 #usdemocracy

Raise your Voices! This bill by non-forest experts causes more harm than good. This is what a clear-cut does visually.👇 Think about the Flora, fauna, fungi. When they finally re-plant, it becomes a mono tree environment. #DemocracyNotDictatorship #USDemocracy epic.salsalabs.org/tellyoursena....

In Today’s NYT >3000 National Forest Service & Park Service employees laid off. They clean trails, empty pit toilets, carry out trash, staff visitor centers, keep the public safe. DJT’s plan will convert our Crown Jewels to dumpster fires, then say these lands should be owned & run by billionaires.

As @whstancil.bsky.social says find your state in this folder of state-by-state USAID cuts, and share it widely. If you still have a Twitter account, share it on there. Anywhere you have followers. These cuts are going to take billions and billions out of the US economy.

Another reason to ❤️ Costco. While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the community—building apartments above its stores, starting in LA. This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

The Pentagon just booted CNN, WaPo, and NPR—replacing them with Newsmax, OANN, and The Daily Caller. This isn’t about “rotation,” it’s about control. When the government handpicks its media, it’s not journalism—it’s propaganda. Pay attention.
