uh. i cannot emphasize enough that this eugenicist monster is targeting autistic kids—many of whom will lead perfectly normal lives—as damaged goods that should be thrown out. his psychopathy and brain damage is self-evident. he is a grave danger to all of our children.

Land bordering Yosemite, Sequoia, and Pinnacles National Parks — now cleared for oil rigs and fracking. YES fracking!

Two hundred thousand people said NO. The federal government did it anyway.

Over 1 million acres of California public land just got opened up - land that touches ancient sequoia groves older than the country itself and sits right in Yosemite’s backyard.

Patagonia's CEO came out swinging, accusing the administration of putting oil profits over the planet's health and saying public land was never meant to be sold off to drilling companies.

And the man who'll make the final call? He was recently confirmed to run BLM after his own state party called him "an outright enemy of public lands."

Who's going to tell a tree older than the country that its time is up?

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water.

Equipment taxpayers already bought and paid for, removed right as record temperatures and a possible collapse of Atlantic currents have scientists alarmed. There is no savings analysis. The gear is already paid for. And the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea, destroying the only tools that could measure the damage.

They are smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Here is the entirety of JD Vance's appearance on The View, which did not go well for him

(and kudos to the hosts for actually asking him hard-hitting questions and followups)

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Fascinating interview. Aaron’s right, the hosts came prepared with follow-ups. Rare to see the VP challenged like this and so crazy it’s on a daytime show and not an actual news/Sunday show.

I’m glad @ananavarro mentioned the stat about all but three refugees being allowed in being white South Africans.

Trump, though, was the elephant in the room. I’d have liked to have seen some Qs forcing Vance to justify Trump’s unjustifiable rhetoric and behavior: eg him calling all Somalis ‘garbage’ and criminals.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

J.D. VANCE: “Manufacturing jobs are increasing at a large number.”

REALITY: They’ve declined since Trump took office, largely because of his tariffs.

(Nobody pushed back)

The Mississippi cop killed a baby because the management at Walmmart claimed A BABY was shoplifting a pack of diapers (bis mother had a receipt), and now they police have unleashed tear gas on community members protesting the execution of a baby.

This is America.

Billionaires, tech oligarchs, Trump officials, and foreign government officials attending a secretive summit to learn cult building, prepping for World War 3, and sex tips, should be getting attention — especially since no one from the Epstein files has faced justice.

Jesse Watters criticized Graham Platner for cheating on his fiancé before they were married. Jesse Watters cheated on his first wife with the woman who is now his second wife when he was the father of two young girls. Trump cheated on all three of his wives 🤷‍♀️

The leaked Iran deal that is floating around suggests that this is a pretty simple transaction: we are paying Iran billions to reopen the Strait. Period. Stop.

That's probably why they are refusing to release it.

Every parent of a child with special needs should be terrified right now

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

A 1-year-old child is dead after police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a vehicle in a crowded Walmart parking lot in Senatobia. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.

ICE throw tear gas canisters at the feet of U.S. citizens protesting—at point blank range.

Agents shoot industrial strength pepper spray—directly into eyes of protesters.

At least 7 people injured & needed medical assistance.

1 woman had to be rushed to hospital by ambulance due to "seizure like uncontrollable shaking"—after being "completely covered" in orange dyed chemical spray.

Demonstrators were protesting the federal indictment of 15 Minnesota anti-ICE activists.

Incident occurred outside the Warren E. Burger Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in St. Paul, Minnesota.

This video footage was not available on this platform—so posting here to help their efforts to raise awareness.

Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights.

It’s called habeas corpus.

Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old.

It’s older than America itself.

And Miller tried to kill it.

New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.”

Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway.
Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it?

The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone.

I will fight this with everything I have.

The Constitution is not optional.

Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone.

Fifty years of rules keeping off-road vehicles on designated trails — GONE.

Lifted trucks, ATVs, dirt bikes, snowmobiles.

Anywhere they want. On your public lands.

Nixon protected it. Carter protected it. Trump just erased both quietly on a Friday afternoon.

A grizzly bear will abandon its habitat when there's just one mile of road per square mile. One mile. Now there's no limit on where these vehicles can go.

In the Mojave, desert tortoises have already lost 96% of their population in some monitored areas - partly because off-road vehicles crush their burrows. A federal judge just ordered 2,200 miles of trails closed to protect what's left.

Then Trump signed this.

No designated trails. No boundaries. No framework at all. When vehicles go off trail they shatter habitat into pieces too small for wildlife to survive in. They destroy stream banks. They push predators toward humans. And when that happens, the animals always lose.

There was no vote. No public comment. Just a signature.

Now the agencies tasked with writing replacement rules are the BLM, the Forest Service, and the National Park Service - all under an administration that has spent months dismantling every protection they had.

The Interior Department, led by Doug Burgum, is in charge of most of it. The same Doug Burgum who has opened public lands to drilling, mining, and grazing at every turn.

Don't hold your breath.

When the last quiet place is gone, what do we tell the children who never got to hear it?
