“Dozens of chemicals are used on federal #PublicLands each year for every imaginable reason,” Burd said. "Sometimes they're creating ‘seral’ habitats. Sometimes they're clearing piñon-juniper. Sometimes they're killing grass. Sometimes they're encouraging grass.” Coverage by @sierraclub.org ⬇️

Why Is the Federal Government Dumping Toxic Chemicals Onto Public Lands?

These spraying programs are creating “virtual dead zones” in wild places

It is really hard these days to think how we get out of the fucking ruination of everything by the orange menace and Russell Vought. The bad seems to outweigh the good. By a long shot. What is there to celebrate on this 250th anniversary of the founding of our democracy? Freedom?

Include the 6 justices on the supreme court who overturned Roe after proclaiming it the law of the land in the confirmation hearings.

In the preamble of the Constitution are the words “promote the general welfare”. When you take food away from the hungry; when you take medicine away from the sick; when you cut education and science; just how are you promoting the general welfare of our country?

DHS will be active in “protecting our elections“ come November. This piece from NPR tells the story. Mark Wayne Mullin, the head of DHS, is a 2020 election denier of course. This story highlights how local officials, including some R’s, are worried. So should we be.

Does anyone know what these mountains are? On a flight to Seattle, facing south. Montana? Idaho? Washington? Is it Glacier? Or the Absaroka Range? There are 4 frozen lakes in this shot. A wider angle shot shows more. Appreciate any help.

Marine biologist & author Rachel Carson was born #OTD in 1907. Her groundbreaking book "Silent Spring" (1962) launched the modern environmental movement, forever changed how we think about pesticides & human impact on nature & led to the nationwide ban on DDT & creation of the US EPA. #WomenInSTEM

A black-and-white photograph of Rachel Carson (1907–1964), the pioneering American marine biologist, author, and conservationist whose landmark book Silent Spring (1962) launched the modern environmental movement. Carson stands in a wooded outdoor setting, leaning gently against a tree trunk with binoculars slung around her neck, wearing a practical light-colored collared shirt and jacket. Her curly hair frames her face as she turns toward the camera with a quiet, resolute expression conveying deep thought and determination. To the right appears the iconic green dust jacket of Silent Spring featuring bold yellow and white lettering. The side-by-side composition pairs her portrait with her most influential work. The mood is one of quiet strength, scientific curiosity, and reverence for nature. This image powerfully symbolizes Carson’s enduring legacy as a woman who combined rigorous evidence with eloquent prose to expose the dangers of synthetic pesticides, leading directly to the U.S. ban on DDT and the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency.
