In one of her final interviews before she died, Jane Goodall emphasized that we know what’s killing the planet: industrial agriculture, including livestock, and burning fossil fuels.

She also reminded us that we don't have much time to save our planet.
Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message

It changes the power dynamic, in every sense of the word 'power.'

Oh, and also another reminder that DOGE cut hundreds of jobs at the NWS, but experts who spoke to WIRED say the agency accurately predicted the state's weekend flood risk. They add that it underscores the need to sustain funding to the crucial agency.

"One of the most important, and most overlooked, functions of protest is to prevent the dreaded 'spiral of silence,' which can begin when people wrongly believe that their own point of view is not widely shared," Betsy Levy Paluck writes:

We now have a king, or a president attempting to be one. We now routinely side with big and autocratic against the small and democratic.

Is it time to consider the once-unthinkable, breaking up?

"The American idea is worth fighting for. But not indefinitely," writes @billmckibben.bsky.social.
Will Trump force America to break up?
He seems determined to try.

This gives me hope.

Since Election Day—and especially after Schumer announced he was voting yes on the Republican CR bill—there’s been a surge of people stepping up to run for office. 🔥

Check out these numbers.
