“It’s tragic that the Rice’s whale, which has lived in this planet’s oceans for millions of years, could now go extinct because of a small man’s petty indifference,” said @bretthartl.bsky.social, the Center's Government Affairs Director. We're in court fighting back.

After diving into the frigid San Francisco Bay and paddling more than a mile, a coyote surfaced on Alcatraz Island. One video shows the coyote struggling onto the rocky shore. It is the first documented coyote on Alcatraz since the island was transferred to the National Park Service in 1972.

Senate Dems should shut down government, but remember what @schumer.senate.gov said last year “I believe it is my job...to minimize the harms to the American people. Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down." At least he's learning... www.politico.com/live-updates...

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

There are no penguins in Greenland. Gotta wonder about the imbeciles running the government right now.

Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This is NOT symbolic. If Dems adopt this position as a caucus, ICE get reined in. Full stop. Not after Trump, not after the midterms - NOW. Call your Dem rep and senators and tell them to back this play today.

Not a bald eagle, not even a raptor from the US. Photo was taken in Israel. Windmills definitely do kill birds and bats, but fossil fuels cumulatively kill more. If only Donald Trump had ever seen a bald eagle up close… www.thewrap.com/watch-bald-e...

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Mike Lee Forced to Withdraw Plan to Sell Public Lands Thank you to everyone who spoke up by emailing and calling your senators. Your opposition worked, and over a million acres of public lands have been saved as a result.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

AMAZING turnout in Santa Fe to protect our cherished public lands from disposal. Senate Republicans want to liquidate our favorite campsites & hiking trails so billionaires can build private playgrounds & lock the rest of us out. Not on our watch.

"100 organizations delivered a letter to the 19 state leaders at the WGA conference, urging them to oppose the legislation, which would allow an unprecedented disposal of public lands “with no environmental review, meaningful Tribal consultation, or public input.” sourcenm.com/2025/06/23/p...

PRESS RELEASE: We're proud to lead more than 100 groups urging Western Governors to reject the biggest public lands sell-off in history. Govs' annual meeting is today in Santa Fe. We call on each governor to publicly oppose the sell-off before meeting ends. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗪𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗔𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝟯+ 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦 If the bill passes, the Senate could authorize the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land across 11 Western states, threatening iconic areas like Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes, Happy Canyon, and public forests near Grand Teton. 1/4

If passed, the Senate budget bill would put up for auction 100,000 miles of our favorite backcountry hiking trails & single track across the West--including much of the Arizona National Scenic Trail. It would be the largest liquidation of public lands & backcountry recreation areas in U.S. history.

You know what to do👇
