Forests and farms aren’t rivals—they’re partners. A new report shows forests boost crop yields, protect water, and strengthen rural livelihoods. Losing them means hotter temps and disrupted rainfall, but restoration can reverse the trend.

Now that cranks and quacks have been organized into a voting bloc, I hope the neurodiverse will counter-organize
I'll never get over the fact that this guy failed upwards and became the nation's top public health official. It's maddening. I never really thought of the neurodiverse as a distinct political constituency, but I think we might need to be to better push back against this firehose of disinfo. 8/x

Help protect ancient redwoods!
A plan to widen Highway 101 to make room for oversized trucks would cut into and pave over the root systems of the thousand-year-old trees, causing dieback of the canopy and possible loss of parts of the grove.

GOP lawmakers often claim they want to protect children, but their policy decisions tell a different story.

Local scientists, fisheries and weather forecasters feeling impact of NOAA cuts
Staff and budget cuts at local offices of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are degrading weather forecasts and adding chaos to New England's commercial fisheries. Proposed additional cuts could throw fisheries, scientific research and weather forecasting into further disarray, threatening lives and livelihoods throughout the region.

Yet, certain Texas lawmakers want to repeal a law, which received overwhelming bipartisan support more than two decades ago, and make it harder for immigrant students to receive a higher education.
