Today the world lost a hero to many - myself included. Her passion and dedication as a conservationist and primatologist are evident in her accomplishments & the countless careers she inspired and hearts she won over.

RIP Jane Goodall. You will be sorely missed. 💙

I'd apologize for what I'm about to do to this website as a result, but that would be a lie, because I won't feel sorry at all

Trump is planning to slash 107,000 federal jobs next year. See where
New details in the president's budget detail some of the proposed workforce reductions, though the final cuts will likely be steeper.

🦬 Thanks for putting this feeling into words, @altfws.altgov.info.

I feel the same way today.

But it’s important to remember that while we may FEEL hopeless, I don’t think what we’re DOING is hopeless.

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Keep pulling.

I feel sad.

I feel a little hopeless today.

I don’t feel like I am doing enough—or that any of us are— because it’s not changing.

The court orders come and go… and nothing changes.

Don’t worry about me, my privilege will get me thru this.

Take care & keep fighting.

A win! A federal appeals court just ordered Elon Musk and his DOGE to resume efforts to hand over internal documents. The ruling directs Musk’s team to answer questions and provide records requested under the Freedom of Information Act records they’ve been stonewalling for months.

Grateful for California’s federal judges holding strong!

Last week, they temporarily halted RIFs & reorg stating it requires Congress review.

Now they stopped an attempt to withhold protection for Joshua trees under the Endangered Species Act.

Huge thank you to Judge Susan Illston, who ordered a two-week pause on the DOGE’s mass layoff plans blocking two dozen agencies from carrying out the largest wave of job cuts yet. She ruled the move was illegal without congressional approval.

DOI RIF info, hot off the press. 😡

TL;DR: RIFs are coming in the next 10 days. NPS will lose the most at 1,500 and USGS second with 1,000.

Another round of RIFs possible in June.
