#17April 🌏 ✊ Int'l Day of Peasant Struggles. In solidarity with our allies at La Via Campesina, we remember the Eldorado do Carajás Massacre and reaffirm the global call to build just societies that honor our relationship to land and water. You can't build the present without knowing the past!
The Trump administration is still trying to sell the Forest Service “reorganization” as a good thing. The U.S. Forest Service Facebook made a video and just posted it. Something tells us the 10,000+ comments on every post they make about this isn’t sitting well. Keep making Pretti Good trouble!
Makers of #pesticides should be held accountable for harm. Cases of cancer and other diseases are rising in rural communities while numbers and varieties of pollinators and other wildlife diminish. Does it make sense to poison the soil and water from which we get our food, flora, feed, fiber?
Things are hard right now and farm advocate Willie Booker isn't going to pretend otherwise. But he's not giving up either. Working together, advocating for one another, sharing knowledge; that's how farmers have always gotten through difficult times and this time won't be any different.
Well put.

The collective *shrug* of the country is terrifying.

NYT with a blow-by-blow of how Netanyahu duped Trump into going to war with Iran— saying Trump ignored the risks and warnings from the CIA & military about the Strait and how far-fetched regime change was, and thought it would be easy. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...
The jury is still out on whether AI applications can help the aquaculture industry address its most pressing problems. And there are concerns about data quality and privacy, high costs, and the impacts on labor.
It's time for Congress to do something but we know that Johnson's House won't take action against these criminal actions. Senators must lean in.
This magnificent brooch was found in Galloway as part of a Viking age hoard of gold, silver & crystal. It remains unclear who buried the hoard & why. The silver brooch is finely crafted with sinuous interlocking patterns & the heads of 4 creatures (maybe dragons).

The crew on the 10-day Artemis II mission won't land on the Moon, but plan to circle it, while travelling further from Earth than anyone has ever been before

A House Democrat is moving to block Trump’s signature from appearing on U.S. paper money and securities and we’re here for it. Rep. Jimmy Gomez introduces the bill tomorrow morning. No sitting president should be allowed to use the nation’s currency as a personal billboard.
#Artemis II - The Orion spacecraft has its 4 solar arrays unfolded which are starting to collect photons from the Sun to turn them into electricity for the trip to the Moon 🚀
Several cameras installed on the wings will also take amazing pictures of the spacecraft from different angles
This is an excellent summary of current circumstances
Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Pay attention to what his closest religious advisors are saying.
The brave men and women who serve our nation deserve to be led by people who know what they are doing.
Whether it’s widening wage gaps, greater economic insecurity, or job losses, women are faring poorly under Trump’s economic policies.

A high-angle shot of a dense crowd holding signs like "NO KINGS" and "MAKE AMERICA DEMOCRATIC AGAIN." Text states that when 3.5% of a nation (12 million in the U.S.) mobilizes in peaceful protest, it becomes impossible for a government to ignore.
We need 3.5% of Americans to speak up and demand accountability from the Trump administration. Will you be one of them?

Undocumented people get nothing from purposely registering to vote but an unwanted interaction with the government. That's why there are so few instances of non-citizen voting. Think about it, MAGA. Take all the time you need.
Civilian power plants should only be targeted if there is military necessity. Inflicting suffering on the people of Iran, who generally hate their govt, is that fastest way to screw that up.
