Prisciliano Trejo, who had leukemia, was reportedly denied medical care by ICE for 8 days while in a detention center run by CoreCivic.

He died just days later — and ICE is already shirking accountability. After denying him care, they released him to his family, where he died shortly after. They likely did this to avoid having another official death in custody and to keep their own horrific statistics from looking worse.

ICE and CoreCivic cannot get away with this. We must eliminate every for-profit detention facility and dismantle ICE entirely.

Spokane, Washington.

In 2024 governments gave $725,000,000,000 of taxpayer money directly to the fossil fuel industry.

We’ve PAID to inflict these horrors on our world.

Our children are going to pay a great deal more.

We are nowhere near angry enough.

[Indigenous Environmental Network @IENearth]

At the @jtalliance Press Conference during SB64 in Bonn, Tom Goldtooth ED of the Indigenous Environmental Network and co-founder of the Just Transition Alliance, delivered a powerful statement on what a true Just Transition must look like for Indigenous Peoples worldwide.

Tom breaks down why Self-Determination, Free Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and the protection of Indigenous territories are not negotiable add-ons to climate policy, they are the foundation. He calls out the ongoing threats of colonialism, extractivism, and the commodification of nature, while pointing to the road ahead toward COP31 and the critical work of implementing the agreements already made under the Just Transition Work Programme.

Don't buy butterfly bush. Plant butterfly weed instead.

Butterfly bush (Left) is native to China. It produces 40,000 seeds per flower spike with germination rates above 80%, and is now listed as invasive in over 25 states. It feeds adult butterflies nectar but is host to essentially no native caterpillars. You're feeding the adults and starving the babies.

Butterfly weed (Right) is a native milkweed. It hosts monarch caterpillars at every life stage and supports 100+ other native pollinators. It doesn't spread aggressively, fits in any sunny garden bed, and survives drought easily once established.

Planting non-native nectar plants without native host plants is what entomologists call an "ecological trap." It looks like a butterfly garden but it functions as a dead end.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

The U.S. Forest Service is spraying glyphosate (Roundup) across tens of thousands of acres of national forests this spring to support commercial timber production.

Following wildfires, forests naturally regenerate with diverse shrubs, wildflowers, and wildlife. However, a recent investigation reveals that the Forest Service and private logging companies are routinely applying the herbicide to eliminate competing native vegetation, favoring commercially valuable species such as Douglas fir and sugar pine.

This practice has created large areas with significantly reduced biodiversity, often described as "dead zones", where insect, bird, and plant populations have sharply declined. Glyphosate, classified by the World Health Organization as a probable human carcinogen, has seen its use in California national forests quintuple over the past two decades, reaching a record 266,000 pounds in 2023.

Local communities, environmental groups, and residents are raising concerns about potential impacts on water quality, endangered species (including salmon and rare foxes), and public health. Critics argue that prioritizing industrial timber production over ecological diversity conflicts with the broader mission of national forests as public lands.

The issue has intensified debates over forest management, balancing economic interests with long-term environmental and community health.

In case you haven't heard, Trump now wants to eradicate Montana's wild bison herds.

According to the New York Times, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management canceled northern Montana's bison grazing permits—claiming that federal grasslands should go to livestock, not bison enjoying their right to roam.

The latest update of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ reveals that more than half of bird species globally are in decline.

The most prevalent cause of bird population declines is habitat loss and degradation.
