GREAT ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE NEWS!!! (Not a typo!) The Indonesian government has cancelled its insane Food and Energy Estates project, which would have deforested a land mass the size of Maryland. Amazing work by @mightyearth.org. A massive victory for the planet. mightyearth.org/article/indo...

The Community Reinvestment Act is at risk of rollbacks that would dramatically weaken banks’ obligations to invest in working-class communities and help them recover from disasters. We can’t allow this to happen. Submit a comment now: on.nrdc.org/3WbqGU7

With 8.3 billion people on the planet, we’ve learned to define wildlife recovery so narrowly that we can celebrate a species’ comeback even as the ecosystem supporting it continues to unravel.

Ospreys are disappearing along the East Coast. Scientists think they know why.
At the center of a widening crisis for one of the nation's great wildlife comebacks is a fish most Americans would hardly recognize.

Wilber was finally able to undergo surgery on Thursday—11 days after he was shot. “When ICE can shoot a man in the back and then barely give him any medical treatment and let him suffer, there’s a reason for that because we have gotten to a point where we see people as less than human.”

Today Permitting Reform advocates are all pivoting to the message that this bill will make tech companies bear the costs for data-center power use. But here's a fact: the lobbying group for Big Tech loves the bill and wants it to pass. Weird contradiction, no?
ITI: Permitting Reform is Essential to Maintain America's Technology Leadership
• September 30, 2026 WASHINGTON - Following release of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, global
tech trade association ITI President and CEO Jason Oxman issued the following statement: "Comprehensive permitting reform is essential to America's ability to build, compete, and lead - especially in the Al era. Greater certainty, lower costs, and faster deployment of critical infrastructure will help power
the next era of American growth while maintaining important environmental safeguards. "The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act is an encouraging step forward and offers a strong foundation to shorten environmental review timelines, streamline transmission permitting and planning, enable deployment of advanced transmission technologies, and leverage Al to address interconnection
delays. "Congress should act to deliver lasting permitting reform that allows America to build at the speed and
scale our economic security demands."ITI Members

This is a bad bill—bad for environmental justice, bad for climate, bad for humans. Some good people are fighting for it b/c they don't believe we can get better, but straight up, it's a bad bill. Sometimes we have to fight like hell for better options; it's the only way we get them.

I was speaking to my wife about the death penalty in regards to several of the high profile sexual assault cases and she was shocked when I told her about the Innocence Project and the hundreds of death row inmates released because they were imprisoned wrongly. Most people don’t know these facts.

No Concessions.
Block the Merger.

Twelve state AGs sued to block Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. We raised our voices about how this mega merger would lead to job losses, fewer creative opportunities, more censorship, and reduced free expression. In a stunning blow to Paramount, the AGs filed suit and a judge issued a restraining order.

Now we need to take action to make sure the Attorneys General stand strong!

RALLY WITH US!

• NYC: 9/21 9am @ NY AG' Office, 28 Liberty St
