If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

We have three goals for the next No Kings Day on October 17: 1) Boosting vote turnout to the biggest it’s ever been for the midterms. 2) Getting our communities prepared to organize against election sabotage. 3) Creating a mandate for the reforms and accountability we want to see next year.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

We had a surprising leader of the dawn patrol this morning. Usually, the ex-orphans are led by one of the ex-orphan matriarchs – but today, it was a big wild bull, with plenty of swagger to spare. He knew the routine and was eager to take charge! Every elephant here is living wild in Tsavo East.

For all their size, elephants can disappear into thick bush almost without trace. One moment, two of the Nursery's biggest orphans, Taroha and Mzinga, are right in front of you; the next, they've stepped into the greenery and vanished. Blink, and the bush appears empty again.

USPS is reportedly pushing ahead with untested technology to carry out Trump’s attack on mail-in voting. The plan, if it’s allowed to go forward, could completely “derail” the midterms, according to a whistleblower. Trump will stop at nothing to cheat his way to victory.
