Spent the week in DC with @sierraclub.org as part of the volunteer Wildlands Lobby, advocating for environmental priorities including: - Maintaining the USFS's Roadless Rule - Protecting grizzly bear + gray wolf populations - Protecting the Grand Staircase monument in Utah #sierraclub #environment

Whoever gets the Democratic nomination in 2028 needs to just run on this. It's been 80 years since FDR proposed this and we still aren't there.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

North Carolinians deserve fair representation. We are already one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. Urge the NC GOP to back down on this antidemocratic proposal to silence voters. www.ncleg.gov/requestforco... #northcarolina #ncpolitics #redistricting #politics

How to solve climate change? Just stop talking about it, according to the Trump Administration. The overwhelming scientific consensus is that climate change is very much real and caused directly by human activities (primarily the burning of fossil fuels). #environment #climatechange #climate

The Trump Administration is trying to sell off OUR public lands to industry (and they don't want you to know about it). Submit a comment today before the 9/19 deadline: www.roadless.org/m/ #roadlessrule #environment #nationalforests #conservation #politics

Trump's Sec. of Agriculture has proposed removing the Forest Service’s Roadless Rule, which protects over 100,000 acres of WNC's forests. We cannot afford to lose these forests. You can comment on the proposal until Sep. 19th: www.roadless.org/m/ #asheville #Pisgah #nantahala #northcarolina #wnc

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

15% of WNC's forests are at risk. Support the Roadless Area Conservation Act: act.sierraclub.org/actions/Nati... #Pisgah #nantahala #northcarolina #westernnorthcarolina #Asheville #nationalforests #sierraclub

Despite claiming that we were in an "energy crisis," Trump is now planning to discontinue the money- and energy-saving Energy Star program. Energy Star helps save American families over $40 billion in annual energy costs. #energy #climatechange #energystar #energypolicy www.cnn.com/2025/05/06/c...

News media captured by Corp interests downplays climate emergency by treating extreme weather as aberrational one offs. These outlets r purposely misleading people & putting them in danger to protect their advertisers & owners’ interests. Which is why YellowDot releases The Extreme Weather Report.

“If the Trump administration can get away with violating the Constitution because it knows the courts will be too slow to prevent it, then those constitutional rights simply no longer exist,” Adam Serwer writes: https://theatln.tc/QtHNdGCu

The millionaires in Congress had their PPP loans forgiven. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court refused to grant the 10-20k loan forgiveness Biden ordered for working class Americans. The laws are not applied equally to the rich and the poor in this country.

BREAKING: Trump has issued an Executive Order that calls for repealing sections of the Civil Rights Act. "...the Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.." #civilrights #trump #uspolitics

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this.  Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program. Hello?

As a result of staff and budget cuts under Trump, the FDA is also suspending its Food Emergency Response Network — a key food safety program that tests for pathogens and contaminants in order to prevent food-borne illness. Tell me how this will "make America healthy again"?

NC House Bill H729, the “Farmland Protection Act,” would prevent farmers from leasing their land for solar projects — a massive infringement on private property rights and a deliberate attempt to prop up the dying fossil fuel industry over cheaper, cleaner solar. indivisibleavl.org/.../protect-...

There we go. Support this man.

The Trump Administration announced plans to roll back existing environmental safeguards around future logging projects on more than half of U.S. national forests (highlighted in blue below) - including a significant portion of Pisgah and Nantahala. #indivisibleavl #nationalforests #logging #USFS

NOTE: Congress will be on recess for the next two weeks (4/14 - 4/25). Now is a GREAT time to contact your representatives and senators about pending legislation. Sen. Tillis — (202) 224-6342 Sen. Budd — (202) 224-3154 Rep. Edwards — (202) 225-6401 #indivisibleavl #indivisibleasheville

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

📣PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD📣 Jefferson Griffin's colleagues just ruled in his favor to potentially throw out over 60,000 votes, but plan to give most voters 15 business days to “cure” deficiencies. Check the list below to see if you are on it! thegriffinlist.com #indivisibleavl #griffinlist

The Social Security Administration has already cut 7,000 jobs. As a result, its website is crashing. Phone lines are overwhelmed. Beneficiaries can't get service. What is DOGE recommending now? More layoffs.  Let it be known that Trump is effectively cutting Social Security.

Following Trump's tariff announcement and ensuing trade war fears, the S&P 500 lost $2.4 trillion in value today - the worst one-day loss in the stock market since March 16, 2020. www.reuters.com/markets/sp-5... #tariffs #trumptariffs #stockmarket

This is a newspaper article from 1912 detailing the effects of burning fossil fuels on the climate. Over a century later, we STILL have people denying climate change. #climatechange #climate #environment #environmentalpolicy #fossilfuels #renewableenergy #politics

Trump has ordered federal officials to bypass the Endangered Species Act in order to log forests that provide critical habitat for endangered wildlife. This is not only illegal - it is immoral, reckless, and dangerous. #nationalforests #endangeredspecies #endangeredspeciesact #environment

On this day in history (March 1, 1872), President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act - establishing Yellowstone as America's first national park. #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #Yellowstone #nps

Trump's tax proposal lowers taxes on the richest 5% and raises them considerably for every other bracket. As inequality continues to soar, this is the *last* thing we need. #politics #trumptaxplan #taxes #uspolitics #incomeinequality
