How Dr. Phil Blew It

When he signed off his talk show in 2023, he pivoted to MAGA politics. It’s not working so well for him.

🤍 Today we honor our co-founder, the late David Hatch (Siletz/Aleut), and his lifelong dedication to his community. David’s passion, curiosity, and gift for building relationships illuminated the deep cultural significance of sea otters to Oregon’s Indigenous peoples. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Today happened to be our Marine Mammal Protection Act lecture in Environmental Law, so I revisited case law / key issues.
There are at least three major industries that benefit from undermining the MMPA: commercial fishing and seafood, maritime transport and shipping, and the oil and gas industries.

Republicans are aiming next to dismantle the marine mammal protection act, which protects whales, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, and sea otters.. among other ocean wildlife. 🦦

I love it. Makes me happy.
Weird that I'm now seeing your post here after I just read about the bill to end the 1970s marine mammal legislation to protect these beautiful creatures.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.
