American Marten, also called pine marten, is a member of the weasel family. Finding and tracking it was definitely the most thrilling moment of the trip! #yellowstoneforever #saveournationalparks

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

While we preserve and protect national parks, we are America’s history keepers and storytellers and we will continue doing just that. Join us on this uphill trail.

Our devastation of nature is so extreme that reversing even a small part of it requires painstaking efforts. A scientist’s attempt to try to save one endangered ibis species demonstrates how dire the situation has become.

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land. All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land. The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained access to the computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), claiming to use that access to search for programs and staff linked to diversity policies.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.
