There's a lot happening right now, but this week, Republicans unveiled some new changes in their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill and snuck in a provision that would allow them to SELL OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS.
 
No way. Our public lands are NOT for sale.
 
Help me spread the word.

“It’s natural to feel affectionate towards otters, but we need to leave them in the wild so that they can fulfill their ecological role, for them and for us.”

Oh mama! Oh Leaf-baby!

River otter mother isn't sure where her chirping pup is until...

🤣 Most adorable #resist ever.

Skipper and I are having an important chat about what I should post on Bsky. He believes I am far too political on social, and that cats are the highest and best use of the internet.

"busted stars and throwing elbows"….yowza, that’s quite a poem. Thanks for sharing!

We who know how much effort this took……salute you!

This affects all wildlife, including otters. It affects people. America’s Best Idea, our National Parks, faces its worst times. Our recourse right now is to keep the pressure on our representatives to protect democracy. ROEP will continue to work for clean waters and habitat for all species.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.

Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

I remember the first time I saw one when I moved to California. WOW! Still feel the wow every time.

One of the things most notable about the American West is that the federal government is the largest land holder. Between Forest service, Park service, and especially BLM land, the federal government manages about half of all land in the West, including in California.

Oh kittens!

Here's the email we sent to our supporters this morning.

It's may be a coincidence that the OMB memo was rescinded immediately after.

Good for your program….funding is paramount!

So great! Otters and beavers are associated, though beavers would prefer otters just keep to themselves, ha! If you haven’t already posted your sighting at www.riverotterecology.org, please do!

Don’t forget to send us your otter sightings!

Opinion | Trump’s Withdrawal From the W.H.O. Will Be Disastrous for Global Health It’s a mistake for President Trump to order the United States to leave the World Health Organization. He should reverse course immediately.

Health security is essential for global security. Border walls don’t stop infectious diseases.

Hey RFK Jr! Did you know that whooping cough gets its name from the sound a child makes when it can’t breathe? Vaccines >> Ventilators

I went to Scotland to get one, Steve.
