The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

My first article for Sierra Mag. Honored to write about the current plight faced by endangered species and what we need to do to fight federal efforts to destroy biodiversity.
Today is Endangered Species Day, which means it’s a time for celebrating all the flora and fauna in need of protection. Sadly, the current administration is doing everything it can to undermine these protections. 🌎
Endangered Species Day Comes as Wildlife Face a New Crisis
Newly proposed laws and administrative rollbacks threaten endangered species like never before

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Death threats against judges are rising — and instead of dialing it back, the GOP is doubling down.
Even after Chief Justice John Roberts called the push for impeachment “not appropriate,” Republicans are pressing ahead. Just this week, House Republicans moved to impeach six federal judges.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

New resignation emails have been sent out with added fine print and stricter terms. Some contracts now require employees to work through February 28 before being placed on paid leave by March 1, contradicting earlier claims that no work would be required.
