Fortress America Is Now Our Main Climate Policy The US spends trillions not to prevent climate catastrophe but to protect the country from climate refugees and resource conflicts.

There is no plan to mitigate climate breakdown or avoid ecosystem collapse. The plan is to conquer and further subjugate the rest of the world, steal resources, and imprison dissidents and climate migrants.

Trump’s rush to expand offshore oil leases in the Gulf is bad for the environment. It’s also illegal. | The Lens The Trump administration pushed lease sales through without environmental review. This is illegal because it violates several of the country’s bedrock environmental laws, writes Mathews, a lawyer for ...

For decades, oil corporations have avoided their cleanup obligations, leaving their infrastructure to sit idle.

Yet BOEM and the Trump administration’s new lease sales are barreling forward without any consideration of how more drilling will worsen the idle well crisis πŸš«πŸ›’οΈβ›½

The SAVE act would literally be the death of American Democracy.

Democrats would never hold power again.

Permanent MAGA rule.

Democrats must go to hell and back, go to war, go scorched Earth to stop this by any means.

If not, they are finished.

Outlook for migratory species worsens amid habitat loss & avian flu, report finds From shorebirds flying between their Arctic breeding grounds and southerly foraging ranges to freshwater fish returning to native spawning streams, migratory animals are struggling. About half of all…

In 2024, nearly half of the world’s migratory species were in decline. Just two years later, new data shows the crisis is accelerating.

An interim report from @cms.int reveals that 49% of CMS-listed species are now imperiled.

New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting The β€œshow your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

The SAVE Act would require American citizens to show documents like a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Our research shows that more than 21 million Americans lack ready access to those documents. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

Is anyone out there saying, "Hey, if Trump hadn't cut the electric vehicle industry off at the knees, a lot more Americans would be driving EVs and high gas prices would be causing much less suffering"? Anyone?

In Skrmetti, the Supreme Court found that the Tennessee legislature did not have to take any third party-on either side of the debate at its word to find a good reason to ban certain procedures. The legislature could look at the evidence and decide for itself which plan would best promote the flourishing of Tennesseans. If the Tennessee legislature can legitimately prohibit these treatments, then the West Virginia legislature may legitimately determine that providing Medicaid coverage for these procedures is not worth the cost to its taxpayers. Simply put, if a State can reasonably ban it, of course a State can reasonably refuse to pay for it.

5. The opinion outright says that states can legally ban transgender adult care after applying Skrmetti to adults.

Trump just rolled out a cruel anti-trans prison policy doctors are calling β€˜dangerous’ A new Bureau of Prisons move requiring that transgender inmates be tapered off their hormones could bring serious health consequences, physicians and advocates warn.

NEWS: The Trump administration is forcing transgender inmates to detransition by implementing a new policy that would withhold their medical treatment in a way that puts clinicians in conflict with ethics and patients in danger.
