Look at these two 🤡. Their body language and tone of voice say it all. It's a fake indignation "oooh how could I release him I'm only the elected president and dictator of el salvador how could I have the power to release him and I

More of our public lands in the Tonto National Forest, part of the homeland of the Tonto Apache, heavily prospected for mercury in the last century. Wild and gorgeous, I was not willing to drink the significant pools of water here in this side canyon off the Arizona Trail ... even carrying 1L total

Standing on your public lands, the magical Mazatzals looking out at mountain ranges in every direction. Most of this burned in the Willow Fire of 2004, and I was behind a hunter who left burnt out butts at regular intervals up bone dry Bullfrog Ridge. #protectpubliclands

Vermont & Califas, let's gooooo!
It's official: California will consider a bill this year to make polluters pay for climate change damage. New York and Vermont have similar bills on the books, and California's addition to the list could be a game changer. This is one to watch closely!

Heads up, friends. See more details below.
We highly advised for all federal employees not to respond to or open OPM emails. Our coalition will be advised on additional precautions. Reports of a hostile takeover at OPM have been circulating. More details will be released in the future.

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.

💚 Worth more standing 💚
While we’ve long known trees fight climate change by absorbing CO₂, removing methane is an exciting addition. Methane drives ~30% of global warming. Globally, trees may remove up to 50 million tons of methane annually. phys.org/news/2024-07...
Trees reveal climate surprise: Microbes living in bark remove methane from the atmosphere

Dystopian, not daily but hourly
The Trump administration has required that all communications and social media posts from federal agencies undergo prior approval before being shared. This directive is currently in effect until the end of the month.

Maybe Asha captured your heart, maybe you love wolves, or maybe you're a fan of ecosystem recovery in the broadest sense.

Great insights into these rare wolves 🐺 💚
Recently, the feds published a 5-year report on Mexican wolf recovery. And while there have been gains in Arizona and New Mexico, several threats loom. Learn more about our beloved lobos in this guest blog from Phil Hedrick, a conservation biologist and population geneticist: ow.ly/SB8V50UFyms

I'm not sure yet if this site has the same community of #freelance writers eager to hear a #callforpitches as the other side, but let's see if we can't find out.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

As part of the renewed assault on Bears Ears Grand-Staircase Escalante, a name change to the historic Burr Backcountry Byway is proposed, to the, you guessed it, DT Backcountry Byway. Please, support our amazing public lands. 🙏🏻
