Trump is gutting endangered species protections and putting climate resilience at risk. When we destroy habitat, we weaken ecosystems already under pressure from warming, drought, and extreme weather. This is a direct attack on biodiversity and the climate fight. apnews.com/article/t... 1/2

Trump administration rolls back a key protection for imperiled wildlife

The Trump administration has finalized a rule that changes how agencies enforce the Endangered Species Act.

Whistleblowers exposed that ICE reassigned FEMA disaster responders to help plan immigration raids & set up detention centers. With hurricane & wildfire season picking up, these workers should be focused on protecting Americans, not carrying out Trump's mass deportation agenda.

Trump’s administration is using FEMA homeland security grants to pressure states into election changes. The demands include hand-marked paper ballots, proving voter citizenship, and 5% manual post-election audits. 🧵#electionintegrity www.nytimes.com/2026... 1/4

Joy is resistance. It reclaims your humanity and energy when oppressive systems try to drain you. Joy acts as a rebellion that fuels hope and community. It gives you the stamina to keep fighting for a better future. 🧵 1/2

The Trump admin just changed the definition of "harm" to animals under the Endangered Species Act, in what environmentalists called the biggest erosion of protections for wildlife in 50 years. @nytimes.com gift link to the story w/ @catrineinhorn.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/c...

The rule change ends a safeguard that had been in place for 50 years and could hasten the demise of imperiled animals.

This is a beautiful, simple act of resistance.

This is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion

We have been on a bit of a break on Bsky. We are not going to lie, we are tired. Real tired. Recently, we saw someone pointing fingers and tearing down someone because they didn’t feel like that person was doing enough to inspire change or bring people together. 1/3

This is a must watch documentary! So well done. And it’s up for an Emmy in the Outstanding Short Documentary

If you’ve ever worked inside a federal agency, or know someone who has, you already know this kind of purging weakens our country. HEIST documents how institutions are dismantled from the inside out. Watch the full documentary on YouTube. And visit the website at www.heistthedocumentary.film

Hurricane season opens June 1. FEMA is largely misunderstood and this administration has done nothing but propagate that misunderstanding. And lots has changed over the past year. So we are going to spend some time unpacking that over next few weeks. 1/11

We’re not saying to not get your mom flowers this #MothersDay (you should), but there is a lot we should be doing as a country and society to actually support moms year round. They deserve lower costs, good health care, and so much more.

The systems and frameworks that help communities recover from disasters were built and improved over decades. This year has shown they can be hollowed out faster than that. What’s been lost will be painfully visible when it’s needed most and it is severely incapacitated or just isn’t there.

The “long awaited” much delayed FEMA review council report was released today The locally executed, state run, federally supported narrative continued. The reality is, thats the foundation of emergency management as it is.

I received some requests for books after I posted the podcast episode from @onthemedia.bsky.social. American Emergency: The Movement to Kill FEMA. I highly recommend this book, Disaster. Hurricane Katrina and the Failure of Homeland Security, as we head into Hurricane season.

We‘re really happy to see this series out in the world,finally. FEMA is misunderstood & this does a good job of covering its history & where we are now. Please consider listening to the entire series as it releases! Happy to answer any questions. #FEMA www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...
