Gnight.
This moment will pass.
This fatigue will pass.
Tonight will pass.
But look at you, with the gift of imagination.
You can teleport to where you're happiest just by
closing your eyes & breathing.
Then come right back to now, check in with
the present.
You magic thing, you.

The Center and allies just sued the Trump admin’s #EPA for reapproving a weedkiller called #dicamba.

It kills #NativePlants and threatens dozens of imperiled species β€” including monarch butterflies, since it harms milkweed, the only plant the caterpillars eat πŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹

Graphic with text that says "five things that rabbits are not.  1. Toys
 2. Easter decorations
 3. β€œStarter pets” to teach children responsibility
 4. Low maintenance pets
 5. Inexpensive pets.


Rabbits are a significant commitment! They live 
10-12 years and they are delicate animals with highly specific dietary needs. They also require a lot of room to exercise and play. They’re prone to many ailments which require expensive specialized vet care." There are photos of three rabbits down the right side of the image.

A bit late to this, but this graphic by @amywestervelt.bsky.social is **extremely** important. It's another reminder that "just stop mentioning climate change" isn't an option, as advocates, analysts and communicators.

🚨The most important graph in the world has another year of data, and it doesn't look good!🚨

NASA CERES satellites measure how much sunlight Earth absorbs and how much heat is radiated back to space.

The difference is heat accumulation, which has more than tripled!

The iconic grassland birds, known for their elaborate mating dances, finally received Endangered Species Act protection in 2022 after nearly 30 years of agency delay and litigation. The Texas and New Mexico population was listed as endangered; a separate northern population was listed as threatened.

The Trump administration issued its final decision today to strip federal #ESA protection from all populations of imperiled lesser prairie chicken.

In September, we filed an appeal challenging a #Texas court’s decision that cleared the way to strip the birds’ federal protections.🧡
