To leave a living planet for our children, we all need to be aware of the threats currently facing us. I have put together 8 units of biodiversity education. Informal but not uninformed (40 years teaching science at college level). https://t.co/9Cfy8uCjqB
"I support impeachment, full stop, of the president and his cabinet. It's the reason why I'm running. ... [Removing @realDonaldTrump] is the first thing we have to do before we can even think about getting to the other things, because he stands in the way, and he's making everything worse."
Imagine if your home was destroyed
Yet this is happening every minute of every day to the wonderful animal life on Earth
From Koalas to Orangutans
They are left with nothing
This bird almost vanished once.
Market hunters nearly wiped it out by the early 1900s.
Then federal protections brought it back.
The wood duck — one of the most breathtaking birds in North America — recovered because the wetlands that shelter it were protected by law.
Cattail marshes. Forested swamps. Small seasonal pools tucked into the woods where they nest, feed, and raise their young.
Now those same wetlands are losing federal protection — quietly, through a rule change most Americans have never heard of.
It's called WOTUS. Waters of the United States.
The administration has proposed redefining which waters qualify for protection under the Clean Water Act.
Up to 80% of American wetlands — 73.5 million acres — would no longer qualify.
No federal permit required to drain them. Fill them. Build on them.
The wood duck doesn’t get a vote. Neither do the 700+ other species that depend on these waters.
Millions of Americans depend on them too — for clean drinking water, flood protection, and healthy local ecosystems.
If the Clean Water Act no longer protects most of America's wetlands — what exactly is it protecting? 🦆

I’m upstairs, listening to my kids talk downstairs. My son starts cracking up loudly about something on IG & saying to his sister “Oh my god donald trump is comparing the length of a pool to the height of skyscrapers. What an idiot.” Then I just heard uncontrollable laughing from both of them. 🤣 😩 Even kids see how fucking stupid & insane this shit is. 🤦🏼♀️ Can you imagine other countries looking at what is happening here??! I am so embarrassed to be an American. It is just a shitshow of idiots. 😵💫
I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

➡️⚠️ A man who says he's a woman, caught with 1000 sickening images of babies and toddlers being r-ped, has walked free.
"Lucy" Dean, 27, from Macclesfield, accessed the dark web downloading horrific images over 2 years.
He told the judge he'd paid for therapy to "address [his] behaviour". He said felt "pure disgust" over the offences.
So much so he kept doing it for two years... 😖
Judge Michael Leeming handed him 200 hrs unpaid work and a 10 year SHPO.
What kind of so-called justice system let's a man who downloaded absolutely sickening horrific abuse of BABIES walk free -
AND indulges his lies about his sex by referring to him as a she/her ??
Absolutely vile. 🤬
Its ecocide
In a country where thousands dying every day from extreme heat in Summer
India is going to fell from 6 to 16 million ancient Trees
and that is just the beginning
To concrete over build an international trans hipment port, an airport, a power plant, and a township
The signals are becoming harder to ignore.
Record ocean temperatures. Melting ice. Rising seas. More extreme weather.
What happens in the polar regions doesn't stay there.
The systems that regulate our climate connect us all.
They are worth protecting.
#WorldEnvironmentDay #NowForClimate @UNEP
The past eleven years have been the hottest on record.
Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, warning signals are everywhere.
This is the moment to act for our environment & for our future.
@ProfBillMcGuire Huge emissions, £1.3Bn in public money, 700 acres destroyed, 8000 jobs (probably mainly low pay), 12M long distance travellers pa, for utterly unnecessary Climate Change accelerating big corp torrent up profit outrage https://t.co/Ez6F2RecKe
Our planet is sending us signals.
Too wet. Too dry. Too hot.
But listen, listen again.
Do you hear something else?
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we turn the volume up on the urgent signals the Earth is sending and how, together, we can act #NowForClimate.

Pretty wild that the only times elections have been stolen in American history is when Dumbfuck J Trump is President. No other President has had this happen. I’m starting to think this guy Trump is just a huge fucking liar with zero respect for American democracy.
🚨Oh my God. Is the media PAYING ATTENTION??
Trump just showed reporters the exact same poster he presented yesterday and gave almost the exact same explanation.
Did he FORGET he already did this?
