The first five months of 2025 were the most disappointing days for America since the launch of the Iraq War. Collective action went into shock.

That’s changing.

Thrilled to see one of big names in labor partner with the movement that help kneecap this regime.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

MYTHS about colorectal cancer:

#1: If I have polyps, I have cancer.

#2: I’m younger than 50, so I don’t need to think about colorectal cancer.

#3: My only option to screen for colorectal cancer is a colonoscopy.
