The young people in our @obamafoundation.bsky.social Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica.
This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.

Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals.
He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining.
And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels.
He’s a danger to our planet and our health.
Really important article from @westernwatersheds.bsky.social
Logging is wrecking our National Parks under the guise of "fuels reduction" and other euphemisms for this heinous and destructive plundering.
Olympic NP is among those parks now being targeted for butchery.

Vibrant street art in Limerick, Ireland. A standard street bollard is painted as a bright blue octopus head, with its tentacles sprawled playfully across the pavement for a local scavenger hunt.

A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M.
Do you see how this works?
The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
These people are vile.
Where Congress should be a check on Trump’s every abuse of power—this Republican Congress is shamefully absent, even when he threatens to wipe out an entire country.
My message to every American: you are voting in the fall. Your voice and your vote matter. You are not powerless.
“A whole civilization will die tonight," is plainly threatening genocide and war crimes. Congress MUST step in.
Republicans need to join Democrats to take action.
Call Congress back into session—we should vote to end this war immediately.
These are the rantings of a bloodthirsty lunatic. It is sick beyond measure to threaten to wipe out an entire civilization.
This is not what the American people want.
It is well past time for the Republican Congress to join Democrats and put an end to this war.
REI and Patagonia both spoke out against the dismantling of the US Forest Service thank you to both of them! We’ve updated our website and added L.L. Bean to the pressure campaign.
War, what is it good for? 🙌🏽
Absolutely nothing‼️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Springsteen aka The Boss still knows how to shake the ground & remind us what really matters. 💃🏽🤘🏽🎸🕺🏼
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
State control of big media is one of the first steps to total consolidation of power.
The time is now. We can’t wait. This administration is sending masked secret police into our neighborhoods to kidnap people with deadly consequences.
They want us terrified; instead, we are organizing.

Many of Oregon's ancient trees may soon be slashed to stumps.The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) just proposed allowing logging in 2.5 million acres of Oregon forest -- an area the size of Glacier and Olympic national parks combined.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.
