It was seventy years ago today that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus, triggering one of the world's great experiments in nonviolent action

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

We’re feeling thankful for the states and local governments like #Oregon taking action on clean energy despite federal cutbacks 🙌🧵

This month, Oregon’s governor, @tinakotek.bsky.social, signed an executive order to fast-track clean energy projects and ensure the state is taking advantage of tax incentives as part of its clean energy strategy ⚡️

The state is also aiming to add 8 gigawatts of energy storage, with 7 gigawatts already planned for development - supporting cheaper, cleaner energy while tackling climate change 🔋 www.salemreporter.com/2025/11/21/g...

Happy Thanksgiving! @saveohioparks.bsky.social is grateful for all volunteers, environmental organizations, lawmakers and journalists who help hold Ohio accountable for bad laws endangering us and limiting our rights in a democratic society. @buckeyeenviro.bsky.social @thirdactoh.bsky.social
