This is a dystopian nightmare.

β€œβ€¦deputizing 10,000 private citizens, including military veterans, former law enforcement officials and retired ICE and CBP officers, giving them expedited training and the same federal law enforcement powers of immigration officials.”

Bannon: "The number one enemy to the people of Israel are American Jews who... do not support MAGA."

First Bannon does Hitler salute at CPAC.

Now he's making threats against American Jews who do not toe the party line.

Wake up, America.

β€œThey’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on Congress With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary...

"Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm."

Jeff Bezos fund ends support for climate group amid fears billionaires β€˜bowing down’ to Trump Concerns raised as $10bn Bezos Earth Fund halts funding for Science Based Targets initiative, which monitors companies’ decarbonisation

Another day, another example of why the idea that billionaires can be part of fighting climate change is the height of foolishness.

Billionaires only exist because of injustice and dispossession, and they will always, always default to that.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

Anyone who thought Trump would bring peace in Gaza is delusional.β€œThe Riviera of the middle east”. This is pure evil.

But what about in areas where there are no trees and its too far away to self-seed? In Canada we are propagating trees from seeds sourced from endangered ecosystems and planting them elsewhere in the same bio-region to increase resilience.

Fantastic to see that this still exists. Do ecologists collect tree and plant seeds from this forest and propagate them to plant elsewhere?

Is this only from topical meds? Or would orally administered flea/tick/parasite pills also have the same effect on pet-fur-nesting-bird-harm?

Lol. Im just glad to see someone I know discussing this openly. Where is the conversation on this? It’s kind of a existential bomb for this country…

Yes! There are multiple burn piles happening. Some near jordan river and some closer to point no point where they have been clearing private land for development.

Got lucky and came across a burning pile of β€œwood waste” (tree stumps and root balls) that the logging company set ablaze today. They burn these 2 storey high piles in winter because it won’t cause forest fires (at least for now).

Hi, I’m Dr. Suzanne Simard, & I’ve dedicated my life to studying the deep, interconnected relationships that shape our forests.

My research and creation of The Mother Tree Project have worked to amplify the world where trees, plants, & fungi communicate & support each other. 🌎🌲

Work in progress: experimenting with transplanting windfall lichens onto an old stump using a staple gun because why not? All these lichen would have decomposed on the ground, but will maybe survive now? #wip #conceptualart #ecologicalart #landart #salvage #art #contemporaryart #lichenart #lichens

Thank you! It’s more of an ecological salvage project, done in an aesthetic way to count as conceptual art :)

Thank you! There have been all sorts of mushrooms and tree seedlings coming up. Hoping to collaborate with a moss ecologist next time to quantify the microscopic species diversity!

Trump Renames Denali To Mount McKinleyβ€”Here’s What To Know The tallest peak in North America has been named Denali since 2015 when its name was officially changed under former President Barack Obama.


Mount Denali was named for the Koyukon people who are native to Alaska and have referred to the mountain with this name for centuries.

Indigenous land should be protected, not further whitewashed.
