The BLM began #logging mature and old-growth forests aggressively under the first Trump administration.

Now, still not satisfied, the second administration has proposed a new plan to more than quadruple the amount of logging to 2.5 million acres of #PublicLand in western #Oregon.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Sure seems like working in corporate media these days, you’re only allowed to tell as much truth as your far-right billionaire oligarch owners permit, and more & more journalists are starting to realize that

Why was the European public largely unaware of such a huge regulatory rollback?

Report Finds Catholic Priests in Rhode Island Sexually Abused Hundreds of Children for Decades A multiyear investigation into the Catholic Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island, has found Catholic priests sexually abused hundreds of children for decades and were protected by bishops who put the r...

Only 20 people named in the report faced criminal charges; of those, just 14 were convicted.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

This is what happens when the Secretary of HHS is a guy who snorts cocaine off of a toilet seat

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Agreed. The US military has the ability to park these weapons with ridiculous precision.

If intentional, a monstrous crime.

If unintentional, gross negligence- and still a crime 🤬🤬🤬

Atmospheric CO2 concentration graphed from 1957 to present, showing a continuous increase to current 429 parts per million. The annual natural cycle of slight ups and downs can also be seen. Measurements are taken hourly at the top of Mauna Loa, Hawaii

The latest update from the Mauna Loa CO2 observatory, shows current #carbondioxide concentrations continue to accelerate upward. The latest reading? 429.1 parts per million. Pre-industrial concentrations were under 280 ppm.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

This sounds like an ad, but it's about murder.

Sea level much higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments - Nature Meta-analyses on a global scale show that the measured coastal mean sea level is higher than assumed in most coastal hazard assessments.

The closer we look, the more we see how much worse our predicament actually is.

Millions of coastal dwelling humans will be on the move soon.

We are absolutely NOT prepared.

The Diameter Of The Bomb The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters, with four dead and eleven wounded. And around these, in a larger circle of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered and one graveyard. But the young woman who was buried in the city she came from, at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, enlarges the circle considerably, and the solitary man mourning her death at the distant shores of a country far across the sea includes the entire world in the circle. And I won’t even mention the crying of orphans that reaches up to the throne of God and beyond, making a circle with no end and no God.

Supreme Court Abuse of the Shadow Docket Under Trump The Court has sided with the administration 80 percent of the time when making “emergency” rulings, often without revealing its reasoning.

The Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration 80% of the time when making “emergency” rulings, often without explaining its reasoning. And it’s doing this at a record pace. bit.ly/4cybln3

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

According to whistleblowers, ICE agents are being directed to break into homes without warrants in violation of the Constitution.

@repyassansari.bsky.social is right, this is an authoritarian police state. Kristi Noem & agents participating in these violations of the law will be brought to justice.
