Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma. Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

Yes, we are paying attention and we don't want you here. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Please… Pass this on…

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

America - land of the free, if you're rich. In fact it is so free, if you're rich, there are no rules for thee.

Forests are more than just wood and are important for the water balance. The groundwater beneath a forest is clean, oxygen-rich and excellent for producing drinking water. That is why forests are particularly often also water protection areas. 💚🌿☘️🌱🌲🌳🍀💚

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya. #sad 🤣

“Earth’s destruction is becoming our single biggest achievement.  Beyond inventions, works of art, music, and even trips to the moon, it is the annihilation of climate and biosphere which will be our ultimate legacy as a species” From my book IN THE GRIP OF NECROCAPITALISM

Desi Lydic sits down with the co-chair of the Communist Party USA to find out if Zohran Mamdani is really what the GOP says he is

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Hanging onto every bit of good news The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing. This most powerful story of Indigenous-led #rewilding after the largest dam removal in US history keeps getting better. lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/oct/9/o...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

When we say forests store carbon, we mean FORESTS. Not just trees. Carbon cycles keep the soil healthy, and leaving old growth trees keeps the forest cooler, wetter, and is one of the best climate solutions available to us. A fascinating (if frustrating) read: www.earthisland.org/journal/inde...

“Imagine Oregon’s forests as a pizza,” LeGue said. “The logging industry, over the last several decades, got to eat all but one of the slices of pizza. We’re being asked what is a fair way to share the last slice of pizza with them.” lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/enviro...

Well I never liked much on tv these days anyways. I for sure won't be watching anything from ABC anymore. But I did up my contribution to OPB ❤️

Trump’s proposal to transfer National Park Service Units to the states is one more example of how extreme and unAmerican this administration is. Not just NO, but HELL NO.

Food co-ops are driving change. The 2024 NCG Food Co-op Impact Report details the efforts of 240+ food co-ops across the United States. These community-owned businesses provide affordable, locally sourced products and promote regenerative and sustainable food systems. www.ncg.coop/sites/defaul...

Microplastic distribution in the global oceans. 🌊 microplastics concentrated in coastal regions, but also present even in remote regions of Antarctica. Size fractionation with depth. Contributing to the carbon cycle.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I am for this—Sending everything over the ocean in a container ship is not good for us. Manufacturing in countries lacking labor and environmental protections is not good for us. Let's do it better. #cheapgoodsarealie #reindustrialization #doitbetterthistime

Love this time of year

I will not wait for change. I will make my own change regardless of what is happening in the US. I know there are others doing the same. Together, we are strong. #permaculture #makechangehappen

It always pays to read your toothpaste labels 🤣

Yes, stop the clear cuts of old growth. We have so little of it left at this point. Old growth (besides all of the many other reasons it is valuable) is the most fire resistant and beneficial. www.opb.org/article/2025...

We are on our way to a full-on WALL-E world www.iflscience.com/plastic-bags... Would love it if we could go the other direction.

If govt agencies were actually concerned about communities burning down in wildfires, they'd follow the science & work to reduce risks immediately around infrastructure that is at risk. Instead, they push commercial logging in the hinterlands as a false solution. Don't buy into their scam. 🌏

Please please please, if you haven't already, advocate for responsible forest policies oregonwild.org/our-work/def... Sign the petition and send a comment....and let's hope it matters 🤞

Keep it up folks #tesla #$tsla

In recent decades everyone has been real proud of how we’ve been able to lower disaster death tolls. At this rate, those days are over.

Why do we have to keep making the same mistakes and expecting different results? When will we decide that we would rather be builders, innovators, and caretakers instead of destroyers? Let's move forward. The time is now.

I’m in!

I often dream of waking up to a world where kindness is the norm, and protecting our environment is simply common sense.

We need mature trees for our health and the health of the planet. Let's advocate for responsible forest management. It might be more difficult to thin forests in a way that preserves old growth, but it is necessary. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
