Protect Wildlife: Stop Trump’s US Forest Service Shutdown America’s national forests are some of the last strongholds for wildlife—home to bears, wolves, migratory birds, and thousands of species that depend on healthy, connected ecosystems. But the Trump Administration is now advancing a dangerous plan to dismantle the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)—a key agency housed within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)—putting wildlife and critical habitats at serious risk. According to recent reports, the administration is moving to shutter offices, relocate headquarters operations, and eliminate or consolidate key research stations. These moves threaten to push out experienced scientists and land managers while weakening the very agency responsible for safeguarding more than 190 million acres of public land. At the same time, these changes are paired with efforts to fast-track logging, mining, and development projects—often with less environmental review and fewer opportunities for public input. That means more habitat destruction, more fragmented ecosystems, and more pressure on already vulnerable wildlife populations. The consequences for wildlife could be devastating. National forests serve as essential corridors and refuges for species already under stress from climate change and habitat loss. When protections are weakened, animals lose the space they need to migrate, find food, and reproduce. Once these ecosystems are disrupted, recovery can take decades—if it happens at all. Even more alarming, the dismantling of Forest Service research stations could erase decades of scientific knowledge about forest ecosystems and biodiversity. These stations play a critical role in tracking wildlife populations, understanding the impacts of climate change, and guiding conservation efforts. Without them, we are flying blind at a time when wildlife needs us most. This is a direct attack on one of America’s most important conservation institutions—and on the wildlife that depend on it. Sign the petition to call on Congress and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to immediately stop the dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service, protect its staff and research programs, and prioritize the preservation of wildlife and public lands. If we don’t act now, we risk losing irreplaceable habitats—and the species that call them home—forever. The petition to Congress and the Trump U.S. Department of Agriculture reads: Stop the dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service and reverse actions that weaken its ability to protect wildlife and public lands. Fully restore staffing, research capacity, and environmental safeguards to ensure our national forests remain safe havens for wildlife and future generations.

Take Action for the Pittsburgh Elephants

I just took action to support the release of the Pittsburgh Zoo elephants to a sanctuary.

Angeline, Savanna, Tasha, Victoria, and Zuri deserve freedom, peace and dignity—not a lifetime of suffering in captivity.

Join me in speaking up to #FreeThePittsburghElephants.

This book by Frost has nothing to do with the Twin Peaks series. It is only Frost's version of the story he wanted to tell. It didn't get told on television, because Lynch had a completely different story. My conversations with Lynch and his closest friends make this very clear.

A pinnacle-like hoodoo rises from broken, hilly terrain. To its right and slightly behind is another hoodoo with a broad, hat-like capstone. It is surrounded and backed by a legion of erosion features in the soft rock and mudstone. We see a few puffy clouds in the sky.

Tonight, remember the power you hold as Americans. Your voices are being heard and they’re changing the course of this country. There’s still a long road ahead. No, Trump doesn’t listen to the courts, but you’re on the right side of history. And we will keep fighting.

Why? This abysmal film, that hammered home so very stridently a truth about women, reduced its truth to a platitude. And Demi Moore overplayed her role as part of the hyperbolic tone of the movie. Anyone could have overplayed it.
