THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE ❤️🤍💙 Thank You #BadBunny #SuperBowl

The 2 million Oregon acres include areas such as Lost Lake and Mirror Lake near Mount Hood, plus sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and Timberline Trail. https://mrf.lu/2R-8x

A ray of good news - “There’s so much unused space that could be repurposed to generate clean electricity – parking lots, highway shoulders, rooftops …. And now… the empty strip of ground between railroad tracks.” thx @katharinehayhoe.com www.talkingclimate.ca/p/the-worlds...

“Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach the earth, but none of those miles go through the strait of Hormuz.” Bill McKibben on why solar energy is a no brainer.

Rhodium is out with its latest emissions projections for the US, which take into account all state & federal policy in place as of 2026. TL;DR: emissions are likely to continue to fall, but not nearly fast enough.

The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening! Tune in today on Obama.org starting at 11am CT as Michelle and I share what this moment means to us and celebrate with friends, family, and members of the community in Chicago.

Wish we had other things to be excited about, but thrilled to see more & more Roadless Rule Townhalls being held across the country. 99% of Americans support keeping these protections in place, and we'll be ready to defend them when the time comes! oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/06/06/a...

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

Big news: we just launched the Threatened Public Lands Tracker. It’s the most detailed interactive tool we’ve ever built showing exactly where our public lands are under threat, who’s behind it, and what’s being done. morethanjustparks.com/threatened-p... #nationalparks #publiclands

This campaign is brilliant- and sorely needed. Thank you #SaveOurForests #SaveUSFS saveusfs.org?fbclid=IwY2x...

There will be a party like this in the U.S. one day

Conservation groups hold public meetings on forest protections after feds won’t

Millions of Americans will show up on Saturday to reject the regime’s brutality at home and abroad. Please join us in the streets again this weekend for the biggest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Public scoping comments deadline is March 23. Tell BLM you care about Oregon's old-growth forests and how logging happens in our state. #PDX #Oregonforests open.substack.com/pub/morethan...

The BLM began #logging mature and old-growth forests aggressively under the first Trump administration. Now, still not satisfied, the second administration has proposed a new plan to more than quadruple the amount of logging to 2.5 million acres of #PublicLand in western #Oregon. Take action ⬇️

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love. Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below! We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

Very big win here. A federal judge says it's just fine for funds and pension plans to boycott fossil fuels www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/c...

I don't say this often but: I'm so proud to be a climate and environment reporter. We cover an issue that is vitally important to humanity and the natural world. 14 of my climate colleagues at the Post were laid off today and I'm devastated. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

Good going Canada. I ❤️ not going to a gas station or changing motor oil and so much more. Fossil fuels are yesterday’s vehicle technology #EV www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/w...

To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.

Ocean Beach this morning… just wow!!

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The invincible resolve and indomitable spirit of a community determined to throw off the yoke of injustice. Thank you Minneapolis for your strength and nonviolent resistance amidst horrific ongoing tragedy.

Thank you for your courage and leadership. We’re with you Minneapolis. #ICEOUT #HopeForAmerica

The Dalles wants to pull more water out of the Mt Hood forest. It says it’s for a growing population, but the city hasn’t grown much in recent years. What has: Google’s footprint. The tech giant uses a third of the city’s water. www.opb.org/article/2026...

The Republican big (bullshit) budget bill was sneakily structured to delay its most harmful effects and quietly reverse the more popular benefits. But the immediate effects are clear: A weakened health care system and an empowered authoritarian police force. It will only get worse from here...

The Senate is currently debating over Trump’s Tax Scam before moving to vote-a-rama and a final vote. We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/resource/cal... And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...

Hello Congress, cutting out clean energy would endanger more than $500 billion in planned investment — mostly in Republican districts — and put more than 400,000 jobs at risk...plus 👀, www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/c...

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

On the day of his passing please take a minute to read Pope Francis’s Laudato si’ statement on climate and environment. “We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social,” the Pope writes, “but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.”

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

3.5 million Americans turned out yesterday. Not one capitol building stormed, not one police officer assaulted. #handsoff

Truly one of the coolest parts of the fightback against Mad King Donald are the Resistance Rangers, @resistancerangers.bsky.social who are showing up at national parks and forests across America. These lands--and the people who protect them--are America's actual crown jewels. Follow and join in!
