Monarch butterflies a big step closer to protection under Endangered Species Act
The eastern migratory population of monarchs, which flies through Illinois, is estimated to have declined by approximately 80% since the 1990s.
It’s a big day for insects.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced it is proposing the monarch butterfly for threatened species status under the Endangered Species Act — a big step forward in a process set in motion in 2014 with a petition from conservationists.

This is something that everyone should be supporting, especially white folk who talk about about anti-racism.

I’ve even heard commentary that in order for DEMS to win they must abandon trans ppl. It’s terrible advice. I think DEMS need to bridge the rural gap and solve uniquely rural problems, rather than abandon advocacy for the trans community. 🥰

He’s gotten very comfortable very fast - and I wonder if this will be immediately actionable for the DOJ? I fear delays are not a luxury we have at the moment. But my urgency is perhaps not the general sentiment? It’s nuts, totally nuts. 80 hours unpaid and only the quote “super high, IQ” X factors

Exactly. I mean, I definitely believe I have the moral high ground on this one, but 70 million disagree? 🤷♀️
