In a bold move, a #SouthLakeTahoe resident came up with the idea of a #SanctuaryCity for bears to promote nonlethal handling of human-bear conflict issues (which lie squarely on OUR shoulders!). Thanks Fox 40 News for your great report. #BEARLeague www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6gV...

This is EXTREMELY important‼️ Dept. of Ag has officially begun process to revoke #roadlessrule and public only has THREE WEEKS to comment! Make sure your voice is heard to protect these vital #publiclands! @johnmuirproject.bsky.social has some excellent facts you can use! #camping #hiking #fishing

Please keep calling California Department of Fish and Wildlife and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov Help us save Hope and her cub Bounce! Stop killing the bears for what is a HUMAN problem. #Biodiversity #collapse #wildlife #nature #AnimalCruelty #bears #California

Don’t forget that tonight 8/4 at 11:59pm eastern is the deadline for getting your comments in to USDA in regards to their proposed changes to the implementation of NEPA! This is extremely urgent, public comments are vital to the process! #nature #StopTheChop #ecocide #publicland

Terrible news. Zero transparency on tree marking, and just look at that image of what they want for our forests. The Nature Conservancy is entirely corrupt, profiting from ecosystem destruction and agency handouts. #StopTheChop and demand infrastructure!! www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency...

Dont forget to follow us on other platforms to stay up to date! Keep calling your reps, and keep fighting for what’s right! www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6SEULR2/

A Korean-born researcher and longtime U.S. legal permanent resident has spent the past week detained by immigration officials at the San Francisco International Airport without explanation and has been denied access to an attorney, according to his lawyer.

There are more effective ways to live with fire and protect communities. The 'Fix Our Forests' Act is the wrong response to wildfire. And both parties are backing it. There's a better bill on the table, and this piece breaks it down: thehill.com/opinion/ener... @realjaredhuffman.bsky.social

Read this. READ IT. Call you Senators and urge them NOT to support the junky "Fix Our Forests Act" which will do no such thing, and get them to support "The Community Protection and Wildfire Resilience Act" instead. CALL THEM EVERY DAY!

Trump sues South Park. Jesus shows up in a streaming deal. Satan dumps Trump over Epstein. This isn’t satire. It’s prophecy. And the regime is cracking. Meanwhile: They’re jailing unhoused people. They’re suing sanctuary cities. They call it “order.” It’s control. It’s not creeping. It’s a blitz.

It used to be when Presidents saw something so grand that the American people would collectively benefit from it for generations to come, they would protect it. Used to be. #PublicLands Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir in Yosemite Valley 1903

Do humans not have eyes? This article, using photos showing remarkable post-fire growth, is in support of USFS plans to “restore” this area. Why must we attempt to “manage” these #natural processes? These funds should be used on INFRASTRUCTURE not #ecocide www.tahoedailytribune.com/news/life-af...

Once again #ca Fish and Wildlife has set a trap for this innocent mother #bear and her cub in Tahoe. Mom will be ☠️ simply for attempting to exist in her natural habitat. We are asking you to contact @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to demand an end to this cruelty. #laketahoe #AnimalCruelty #NoMoreTraps

#Writing is mostly willing your brain to come up with just one sentence for seven months straight and then filling 15 pages in one night. You then repeat this process.

I hate Mike Lee also, but he is only one piece of a very disturbing picture. Although his awful #publiclands sales were deemed unallowable, this fight is FAR from over. F&*! Our Forests Act, repealing of roadless rule, permitting and NEPA- they are coming from every angle. 1/2

Some silly Sammy for your Sunday brain cleanse. #dogs

Sarcodes sanguinea, a favorite. This increasingly rare plant lacks chlorophyll and relies on its relationship with a single form of ectomycorrhizal fungi. THIS is what we lose during logging and #publiclands sales. Biodiversity. Call Senators TODAY and tell them to vote NO on “big beautiful bill”.

#NoKings South Lake Tahoe, CA. Proud to see our small community show up in number today.

Stay peaceful, stay safe, know your rights. Looking forward to enjoying the solidarity tomorrow. #NoKings

I tried my best to make the argument for Martin v. Boise in 2017--the year before it existed--in the @sacbee.com Unsurprising, but no less devastating, to see @cademocrats.bsky.social like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social going full fash against our most vulnerable neighbors www.sacbee.com/opinion/cali...

New study from @worldresources.bsky.social on biomass has all kinds of interesting conclusions. Basically, biomass can make a modest contribution to decarbonization, but not through burning it. Burning biomass for energy is insane. www.wri.org/research/bio...

Don’t forget to tell your reps to vote NO on the falsely named “Fix Our Forests” and “Save Our Sequoias” Acts which only promote deforestation of #publiclands and do nothing to “protect communities”. We need buried utilities, evac routes, defensible space - NOT MORE LOGGING. #infrastructure #ecocide

This #EarthDay please take a moment to contact your Senators and tell them to vote NO on the falsely named “Fix Our Forests Act”. This bill would prioritize clearcuts on #PublicLands / gutting of #environmental law, and does nothing to protect communities. We need infrastructure NOT ecocide!

The latest! Yes, this is a California podcast, but we've got an expert on El Salvador in Sweet Palma, so today we're discussing President Nayib Bukele and his "tropical gulag." We also look at the essay by that insufferable lib asking, "When Must We Kill Them?" www.patreon.com/posts/drain-...

So-called “dead” or snag #forests hold the keys to #biodiversity and #life. Without this death, there would be no living #trees, or anything else. Sadly, we are losing these vital habitats to logging and “fuel reduction” at unimaginable rates. #ecosystem medium.com/the-environm...

Israel is carving the West Bank in two. With its “Iron Wall” offensive and $91M settler road plan, Israel is laying the groundwork for full annexation—killing any hope for a Palestinian state. All part of Israel's colonial plan. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/isra...

I have been LATE in SHARING this because I've been BUSY, but boy oh boy did I have fun with @palma.ltd discussing Kamala Harris and her eye toward the California governor's mansion. #NewNeighbor www.patreon.com/posts/drain-...

Eugenics has entered the chat, invited by the guy who sawed the head off of a whale, ate road kill, injected himself with drugs, & had his brain bits eaten by a worm.

Post fire log salvage is NOT 'wild fire recovery'.

Any help out there for Melissa??

So-called “dead” or snag #forest is incredibly rich in #biodiversity and supports the entire ecosystem. Sadly, these beautiful habitats are being decimated by logging under “community protection” schemes. My latest #writing. #nature #climate #Science medium.com/the-environm...

Fight back.....

Please take a minute to tell #LakeTahoe USFS that our forests do not need more “thinning” or “restoration”. This post-fire ecosystem is already recovering beautifully. Watch my video in comments from last April (before Spring weather) to see the growth occurring, and then comment to #StopTheChop.

Today’s Special Elections are incredibly important. We hope you’ll get out and #VoteBlue if you are registered in #WI or in #FL districts 1 and 6. We can’t illegally buy your vote like Elon, but let’s show these billionaires we don’t appreciate their efforts to influence our #Democracy! #resist

House votes on HR22 the “SAVE Act” this week 3/31 which would disenfranchise millions of voters. Keep calling your reps at 202-224-3121. Tell them to vote NO. #vote #Congress #CivilRights #VotingRights #happeningnow #community www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

@booker.senate.gov speaking #now on the senate floor. Plans to go all night. Let’s show him some support and encourage reps to step up when he gets tired to #HoldTheFloor and disrupt business. #ThisIsNotNormal and our elected reps should not act as though it is. #democracy #resist

Our governor is having a midlife crisis

Fire does not “destroy” or “incinerate”, even at high severity. Tell your reps to protect #publiclands by ending “salvage” and “fuel reduction” subsidies. We need to focus on home / infrastructure upgrades, not ecocide. #biodiversity #climate #trees #ecosystem #life #fire www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2vujhq4/
