I rounded up a bunch of local reporting on what cuts to agencies like the National Parks Service and the Forest Service could mean for public lands. We may never be able to draw a direct line between the decimation of the civil service and future catastrophes. But the consequences are inevitable.🌎🧪

While economic diversification is essential, we want to amplify Indigenous voices reminding us that it cannot come at the expense of environmental stewardship or the sidelining of Reconciliation initiatives. @davidebybc.bsky.social #bcsla #britishcolumbia #reconciliation

Congrats, America. We're now on Putin's side.

President Emmanuel Macron of France called a second emergency meeting of European allies on Wednesday to devise a united response to President Trump's remarks embracing Vladimir Putin’s narrative that Ukraine is to blame for the war.

Let’s be clear: This is yet another sign of the Trump administration’s crystal clear embrace of authoritarian ideas, practices, and influencers. From @davidcorn.bsky.social:

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

If you are an entomologist affected by these federal terminations or know someone who was, please DM me. I’m working on an advocacy plan and need to start gathering support. As a first step, if you’re a member of the Entomological Society of America, I have a link for you, DM me. #entomology 🧪

Meidas takes the #1 podcast spot, Trump’s DOJ is in chaos, Musk is dodging accountability, and MAGA chaos is hitting Social Security, Ukraine, and veterans. Protests are growing as the public grows angry. Don’t miss today’s bulletin!

We fact check @biographic.bsky.social, non-profit environmental #journalism at its finest. For a long form article I wrote about invasive pink salmon in Norway, I had 110 footnotes. All checked by an independent fact checker. Sign up for our newsletter! 🦑🧪 #conservation

Americans didn't elect Elon Musk, and should not be forced to reap the harmful outcome of his access. Remove Elon Musk from government. It's that simple.

“YOU GET NOTHING BRIAN KEMP AND GEORGIA !!!”. Is what Trump said to Georgia Gov.Kemp even though Kemp cowardly supported the convicted felon. Trump has denied FEMA funding to Georgia as they try to recover from Helene. Karma for Kemp and the rest of Georgia who were duped by Trump. #ProudBlue

Thank you EU.

Today on APTN National News: One man is dead and three men have been arrested following a homicide investigation in Berens River First Nation in Manitoba.

This afternoon, the top FDA food official responsible for overseeing America's food safety and inspections resigned from the federal government.

This reminds me of when I was in high school and geography teacher asked the class which way the St Lawrence River flows. We ALL responded "downhill" towards the bottom of the map. I think this level of geographical incomprehension is the only possible explanation.

The historic agreement affirms Haida Nation's title over all of Haida Gwaii lands, beds of freshwater bodies, and foreshores to the low-tide mark 🙌 It's the first time the federal government has recognized Aboriginal title through negotiations. #cdnpoli

One man has died and three men have been arrested following a homicide investigation in Berens River First Nation, Manitoba.

Saskatchewan RCMP are asking for the public's help to locate a suspect after three stabbings over the weekend in the Big River First Nation.

Pierre Poilievre doesn't hate *all* media - just the ones who hold him accountable. To him, they’re a “small cabal of government-approved mouthpieces.” That’s what he told Candice Malcolm, co-founder of True North (and wife of a Shopify executive) in a recent one-on-one sit down. Oh, the irony.

After! multiple plane crashes and collisions. 😒

Oops @meidastouch.com

I am at the NATO meetings in Brussels. Trump and Putin are plunging the world into dark chaos. Here is my dispatch from day one of the meetings. I decided that it was time to go over the boards for Canada. Please read and share. substack.com/home/post/p-...

In the United States, we had indoctrination forced upon us, since we were old enough to speak. Being constantly taught that our country was “the greatest on earth“ brainwashed many young Americans. This made it easy for many, to fall into a cult like personality, that we see today

“Emails with international counterparts that are scientific in nature and involve the exchange of scientific data must also be submitted for review.” Yeah, that’s gonna be a problem. 🧪 www.cbc.ca/news/science...

A really valuable piece of reporting from military.com on what happens if Trump orders the armed forces to act against US civilians.

Why can people make the most vile comments about people online, but calling out bots is a community guideline violation. It truly is a zombie tok.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

Reliably hearing that NSF’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs are being cut. Did you want to be a scientists? Well, thanks to Musk, now you can’t.

@exposedwildlife.bsky.social is hiring!! Are you passionate about protecting and advocating for threatened apex predators like bears, wolves and cougars in Western Canada and beyond? www.exposedwildlifeconservancy.org/jobs

Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

Someone better jersey this traitor

Fuck this wanna be dictator!

Two coders have already infiltrated the DOGE website and left their own messages on it at the time of 404’s reporting on Thursday evening: “THis is a joke of a .gov site,” said one, and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro” said another.
