Republican leadership intended to vote to gut the Endangered Species Act today… and then didn't have the support needed, so they pulled the bill. Happy Earth Day! 🌍

The old sun is sneaking up. The coffee is hot. And the manatees are doing their laps. Good Morning, America! Let’s be better men - and women. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/a6cX61oNsRQ?...

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

We should be learning from other countries...

I doesn't make sense. We have more information and resources than at any time in human history... brilliant minds, vast sums of creativity, and centuries of history and experimentation to draw from. Yet, the world is being thrown into chaos by barbaric men with primitive world views. Time to act.

Every hour, unsustainable food and fossil fuel systems cost humanity nearly $5 billion USD in environmental losses. Yet a wetland can purify water naturally—delivering ecosystem services valued at up to $39 trillion annually. A tree harnesses solar energy. A fungus decomposes waste without pollution

Some wonderful news Once hunted to near extinction, humpback whales are rebounding "We've stopped killing them," said wildlife photographer Chris Fallows. "Since the late 1960s,the population that was reduced to just a couple of thousand animals has come back to several hundred thousand animals"

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

There’s already a date onboard for a general strike May 1st, National Strike No work, no school, no shopping www.commondreams.org/news/no-king...

The future of farming doesn’t have to destroy the planet. Agroecology shows us a better way: working with nature instead of against it. Crop rotation, intercropping & agroforestry deliver higher yields, healthier soil, and real climate action. Let’s scale this up for a thriving,

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

AFT is standing in solidarity with Minnesotans and holding Target accountable for their failure to condemn ICE's assault on the state. Our members will leverage our billions of dollars in back-to-school spending and shop elsewhere this year. nationaltoday.com/us/mn/minnea...

“May Day is a chance for us to replicate what we saw in the Twin Cities nationwide.“ @ezralevin.bsky.social and @maddow.bsky.social talk about the major national action planned for May 1 and why exercising our economic might is key for protecting election results. #NoKings

Economics talk. Let the world know we're serious and let's Do This!

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

"Think about it: A single strike on power infrastructure doesn't just 'punish a regime.' It punishes grandmothers on dialysis, premature infants in incubators, and families in the dark. Innocent children will suffer. This crosses into collective punishment

Very well said. Turns out humility is a survival skill. Who knew? (The indigenous people that were decimated and labeled "savages" by a culture obsessed with material wealth, that's who.)

I know, who wants to think about climate change. But grown ups know that sometimes you have to confront things even if you don't like them. Let's be grown ups, because it matters big time.

The world is paying the price for a war of choice against Iran – started by Donald Trump & his ally Netanyahu. Lives lost. Schools closed. Prices exploding. Refineries burning. This isn’t “strategy.” It’s self-destruction. Who still calls us civilized? #WarConsequences #HumanityOnTrial

For #ForestFriday a look at the French Broad River through the trees from above Chimney Rocks. A beautiful day for a walk in the woods. #landscapephotography #Appalachia

True progress isn't dominating nature,it's coexisting. Indigenous knowledge often teaches this: live in harmony, not superiority. Let's ditch arrogance for reverence. Our survival depends on it. 🌿 What’s one way you respect nature? #NatureHumility

People must stop this. We must govern ourselves, because the government is aggressively working against us. Divest Now

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

Integrity, pass it along. AI is degrading our quality of life as people while producing monetary wealth for the few. I'm going to opt out of something I know is bad for me, regardless of dollar signs and that perpetually dangled carrot of more convenience and ease. Don't buy it.
