In WA the SIB invests over $8B of state employee pension funds in FF including coal. SIB is directly contributing to worsening wildfires and floods while investments in coal, oil, gas underperforming the rest of the market for over a decade. Article below details key role pensions play. #Divest now!

Glyphosate is toxic to precious soils, creeks, rivers, fish, amphibians, birds, and humans. We should never spray it on our best natural climate solution, our temporate forests. Shame on them!

Well worth (re)reading Wallace Stegner's December 1960 letter to save our wilderness. As we face the loss of 200M acres under Trump's #RoadlessRule repeal, Stegner's big-picture arguments may motivate your own comments to preserve our wilderness. ourpubliclandsandwaters.substack.com/p/wallace-st...

Good news! In a blow to Trump's 'drill, baby drill' agenda, zero companies bid for the chance to drill for oil and gas in Alaska's Cook Inlet. This comes after we notified the Interior Department last month of our intent to sue over the planned unlawful lease sale on March 4.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.
