This was the video I was looking for yesterday to post. I follow Joshua Wright on instagram because we are both passionate about saving old trees. This was an ancient forest valley that was recently logged on Vancouver Island. They cut down one of the largest Yellow Cedar tree in Canada. 😢

Trump cut down cherry trees for which Washington DC is famous for one of his tacky golf courses. He’s planning to sell some of Yosemite Park to a private developer. He’s destroyed the East Wing. He’s threatened to demolish the Kennedy Center. That vulgar slob has no respect for beauty.

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

WATCH: “Does this feel like the right thing to do? Are you ready to be on the wrong side of side of history?” Tennessee Republicans generally remorseless about stripping representation from majority Black Memphis, drowning it out with white power to protect a corrupt president.

We just filed an emergency legal motion today alongside Alaska Wildlife Alliance seeking to prevent the state from killing an unlimited number of brown and black bears across roughly 40,000 square miles in southwest #Alaska this summer. More info: biodiv.us/48y8reW
A black bear and a cub stand on moss-covered rocks in a lush green forest. A quote overlay readss: "I really want to see the Mulchatna caribou herd grow and thrive, but this unscientific and cruel approach of killing every bear in sight across southwest Alaska can’t be the way forward.” It is attributed to Cooper Freeman, Alaska director.
