You know what, I'm just gonna re-up this post

There are no mainstream Republicans or media elites or corporate leaders riding to our rescue. The only people who are going to save our democracy is us. Regular, everyday Americans. Like the record setting 7 million who turned out this weekend.

If you allow a government to break the law because of an “emergency”, it will create an emergency to break the law.

Doggies who have somehow lost their ears deserve a cookie.

I just tried doing this (with “Yakety Sax”), but can’t figure out how to upload it so the sound works.

Every day there's a new corruption story. Anyone one of these could bring a Democratic president down. But because we normalize Trump's corruption, we don't even notice some. Like this one: the Trump family is getting into the drone manufacturing business. Hear me out.

NEW: More than ‎20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.

We are the League of Conservation Voters. 🌎 For 54 years, we have fought for people and the planet, including helping win the largest climate investment in U.S. history. But we need your support to defend the environment from Trump. Can you REPOST and give us a FOLLOW?

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

The NPR Network is extraordinarily grateful to have you and this community by our side as we prepare for the road ahead. If you’ve already donated — thank you! Here are a few of our favorite comments from generous supporters like you. If you haven’t given yet, get started here: n.pr/458sOhq

FWIW: “Local public stations will not go away, as long as they can continue to operate with current donation drives & re-balance their budgets. Many public radio stations are partnered with local universities and offset their operations by giving airtimes to students in the broadcasting courses.”

The EPA has eliminated its research division, which for decades has provided the science behind regulations on clean air, clean water, and toxic chemicals. The US can afford to monitor, research, and regulate the impacts of industries on human and environmental health. We are just choosing not to.

Just saw an SUV with official DHS plates pulling into a luxury hotel parking lot at the beach. I figure some muckety muck has taken it out for his vacay, which in the old world would have been an ethics violation of the first order.

It’s time to make sure every Republican who voted for this bill knows that we’re going to hold them accountable for every inflated electricity bill, every polluted water source, and every destroyed public land.

These are the people ensuring your water is safe & air breathable. Hundreds of #EPA professionals spoke out - worried about public safety, ignored science, and shrinking support for vulnerable communities. We stand with them. Sign here to join us ➡️zurl.co/T2a5Z zurl.co/hCozc

If one of these people is your senator, it is incredibly important that you call them today. Urge them to vote NO on the Senate budget bill that would make most Americans poorer to give billionaires a tax cut they don't even need.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 At 7:59am, Zeldin - Trump crony and head of EPA - received the Declaration of Dissent from EPA workers. Workers are uniting against political interference, censorship & rollbacks at EPA under Zeldin’s leadership. Someone’s week is off to a bad start. (1/5)

This is one of the angriest stories I've ever written, and I am immensely proud of every word.

Incoming fax! #AllStarTrek

Thank you so much, Matt - yeah, that one I wrote in a post-election fury blackout, it's the most ferocious I've ever written - and am so happy to be part of Ghost Parachute today.

Funny, whenever I steal clothes drying on a fire escape, they always fit perfectly. #AllStarTrek

(2/2) to environmental disasters, and more. With these cuts, states that are already overburdened with their work load will have no option for federal assistance. Cleanups, monitoring, oversight… they won’t happen.

The 65% budget cut and incoming RIFs to EPA will put human health at risk. You don’t have to be an environmentalist to care about this. EPA enforces the Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation & Recovery Act, CERCLA/Superfund, provides emergency response (1/2)

As of last night, almost all environmental justice grants have been terminated. This is work that has already started, costs that have already been incurred. These illegal terminations are the real waste, fraud, and abuse in government. We are so sorry to all organizations effected.

Let’s all refer to DOGE as Dodgy

This is really fun.

How exciting to be included, thank you!

We are hearing about mass layoffs happening in the department of justice and department of energy. The loss of our federal scientists and law experts, who should not be subjected to political tides. This threatens the fabric of our democracy.

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

Whoops! Link! baltimorereview.org/winter_2025/...

Time to do some serious thinking.

The one disadvantage of living in a blue state is that there’s no point shouting and yelling at my elected representatives. But if your reps are GOPs, you should be flooding their phone lines, email boxes, and mailrooms with howls of outrage. Start now, and keep it up. Pass it on.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding. This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

Any time I’m feeling down I listen to this wonderful poem by @astrokatie.com and I feel better. I don’t know why but it always works. youtu.be/2wT1-bRj9wI?...

Today we're thankful for all those who continue to fight for our planet and democracy, especially in moments like these when it's easy to lose hope 💚

Climate scientists are heroes. Pass it on.

@rolypolynori.bsky.social It’s my birfday! I’m trying to look dignified because I’m an adult now, but adulting is hard.

It’s fall. It’s the holidays. It’s fallidays.
