Remember:
1. The oceans are being killed.
2. Forests will soon be gone.
3. Fertile soil is disappearing.
4. Megafauna risk extermination.
5. Insects are vanishing.
6. Climate chaos is inevitable.
7. Extinction is now.
8. Plastic is in our blood.
None of this is front page news.

SCIENTISTS: “We’ve produced the first-ever image of a supermassive Black Hole, 55-million light years away”
RESPONSE: “Oooh!”
SCIENTISTS: “We’ve concluded that humans are catastrophically warming Earth”

The Trump admin is ramping up deportations of Black Mauritanians who have been here for decades and face the threat of violence and slavery if sent home. I joined with my colleagues to send a letter demanding the admin put a stop to these deportations.

Let’s be absolutely clear: the GOP now wants to pay for massive, deficit-busting tax breaks for the top 1% and corporations by cutting Medicare and Social Security.

This is what they do. They give tax breaks to corporations, and the rich, then they cry about the deficit, then they go after social programs.

If we are going to successfully combat climate change, we have no choice but to take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry which is driving this crisis—as well as the politicians who have been bought off and refuse to do anything to address it.

WHAT'S HAPPENING:
1. The GOP thinks they may lose the Senate in 45 days.
2. Controlling U.S. culture via the courts is the GOP's top goal.
3. Big GOP donors have no problem with a rapist on the court.
4. Trump and the GOP will do things that *shock the conscience* to "win" here.

Why do we advocate for species as different and as far-flung as the coyote, wolf, mountain lion, snow leopard, fox, wolverine, and caribou, among others? Because all are misunderstood, hunted, trapped. The coyote is the bridge. The persecuted #coyote teaches us critical thinking.

A racist woman told a Korean-American Air Force veteran to “go back to China” whilst making a disgustingly racist gesture from within her car. To be clear, this is what disrespecting the military looks like, not taking a knee.

What a sad sick sleazy way to end one’s tenure as Speaker of the House of Representatives- bully firing the House Chaplin because he simply and honestly prayed that your #GOPTaxScam would not harm the poor.
