All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

@YourAnonNews @MaxFlugrath You forgot the juiciest part: SHE CALLED DESANTIS DIRECTLY, AND HE APPROVED HER ABORTION

And THEN… she continued to ban other women from having them so that other women’s lives can be saved…

The Trump administration just made it legal to kill 400,000 wild animals a year in secret. No public notice. No comment period. Just done.

The USDA finalized rules this April gutting decades of public participation requirements on 193 million acres of national forest. Logging, drilling, mining, road building — all can now be approved before the public ever hears about it.

That includes Wildlife Services — the federal program that kills more than 400,000 native animals every year. Coyotes. Bears. Wolves. Beavers. Mountain lions. Killed on behalf of ranching interests, with your tax dollars, on your public land. Now completely out of public view.

150,000 public comments opposing these rules were thrown out. Attorneys general from 17 states objected. Tribal governments objected. The administration didn't care.

"Information is power. Our voices are power. And the Trump administration is trying to strip both away so corporations can make a quick buck off our public lands." — Wendy Park, Center for Biological Diversity.

Who gave the government permission to kill 400,000 wild animals a year and hide it from the rest of us?

Very sad to learn that Mona Khalil died after weeks in the ICU following an Israeli strike that levelled her home in Mansouri. She was a very well-known environmental activist and dedicated her life to saving endangered turtles. She stayed in the south despite Israeli strikes because of her love for the land.

She was a civilian, a renowned figure but Israel targeted her house.

CNN profiled her in 2017 here: https://t.co/ZaMRnuS4zf

“I live every day to the fullest and don’t worry about tomorrow,” she told the newspaper.

@ColtPaxton @LuckyDie007 @ABC Thank you for mentioning this, it’s often overlooked! Also worth noting: There’s a common misconception that the car was moving when it happened, but it wasn’t. Poor woman suffered 3rd degree burns and needed skin grafts. Misinformation on the case seems deliberately prolific.

@AKINBOL76371350 Thought you might be interested in this passage based on your bio. Further reading would do you well before you go casting stones

[Beckers @sbecktackular]

@PessiNews82 @RLREPET @MibshaD The two aren’t mutually exclusive. But since you’re deflecting with an insult because you don’t want to have a discussion in good faith, I’ll not be interacting further.

[Beckers @sbecktackular]

@LibertarianJzs @MibshaD By that logic and if the man is concerned about it, both men and women should abstain.

After Texas banned abortion, the rate of sepsis rose more than 50% among women hospitalized while losing pregnancies in the second trimester.

Healthcare delayed is healthcare denied... and for pregnant women, that delay can become life-threatening.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

some Americans have literally been paying into Social Security for 50, 60 years; & this multi-billionaire from South Africa dismisses Social Security as a mere "entitlement"--not workers' actual pay, deferred.
cutting Social Security would be literally--not metaphorically: literally--stealing earned money from American citizens.
please let us hope that MAGA gets this news from some source other than Fox; otherwise, MAGA might agree to it without comprehending.

The agent who killed Renee Good in cold blood is back on the job. Zero accountability.

This is exactly why we can’t give ICE another penny until real reforms are in place.

The Senate will likely vote to confirm Steve Pearce tomorrow. As BLM director, he will oversee 245 million acres of America’s mountains, canyons, grasslands & rivers.

Pearce has spent his career trying to sell off & destroy our public lands. Shameful.

@marceelias @GNRtruth The “National Emergency” and “State of Emergency “ powers are abused by Republicans. We need to have legislature vote if it is a genuine emergency and not a political play.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

How is this being treated as normal?

A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel an ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Using people's personal data to charge them more should be illegal.

I have a bill to ban it.

Plan to hear from me, @JetBlue.

"One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.

And they did it with a press release on a Tuesday."
