Am loving the hashtag #WarRavagedPortland. Trump sending in troops is horrifying. But this kind of resistance makes the autocrat look ludicrous. More Portland pics please!

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

Kagan: The so-called irreparable harm that the Trump administration says it suffers is merely "the price of living under a Constitution that gives Congress the power to make spending decisions through the enactment of appropriations laws...a frustration any President must bear."

This interview with my dear colleague Russ McSpadden is a phenomenal roundup of our work to stop Trump's absurd and irreversibly destructive push to wall off Arizona's San Rafael Valley. And if you're not already following @peccarynotpig.bsky.social, you should!

Many Wyoming residents have expressed opposition to Trump's plan to eliminate the 2001 Forest Service Roadless Rule. Some carry on their families' conservation legacies as they advocate for landscapes that nurture wildlife, clean air and water.

Colorado environmental groups decry ‘backroom deal’ over Suncor water permit By @chasewoodruff.bsky.social

The Roadless Rule was created to protect #forests for people, #birds, and all #wildlife -- and to end roads and logging in our wildest lands. Trump now wants to repeal it. Look at some of the millions of acres this landmark conservation policy has protected (left, Tongass National Forest) and...

History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.

A US President threatening to use the military against civilians in an American city is not normal and journalists who choose to ignore or normalize this should explain their choice to the communities they serve.

My least favorite excuse is “we can’t stop burning fossil fuels tomorrow” Yeah? So let’s figure out the most aggressive date to stop and shoot for that one.

The Roadless Rule protects some of New Mexico’s last truly wild public lands. These are the places where you chase elk, fish for Rio Grande cutthroat trout, or call in a coveted Gould’s turkey. Repealing the Roadless Rule is an attack on our hunting and fishing heritage.
