"Another 121,000 acres of your land go up for auction Tuesday. The corporations that take them will pay less than ever for the right to ruin them." morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/a-governme...
I live in NC. The most delicious part of ALL of this, is that Phil Berger redrew his own gerrymandered congressional map, and then lost it. 💀

Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
About a quarter of all trans people in this country have moved states in possibly the largest internal migration of a particular minority group since the great migration. This is a full blown crisis.
3/3 🧵 As this kakistocracy moves to rob us of our national parks and other public lands, squandering them for the benefit of the ultra-wealthy, please don't look away.
2/3 🧵@naomiaklein.bsky.social has written about how, during times of crisis and chaos (which this administration has created aplenty), people in power will quickly move to dismantle things that are in the public interest. #ShockDoctrine
1/3 🧵Trump has nominated Steve Pearce, who has pledged to get rid of our public lands, as steward of our public lands. (Pearce has been nominated as head of the Bureau of Land Management.) Please read the article and consider the call to action. #USPublicLands #USNationalParks #Environmentalism
Amidst all the atrocities taking place in the U.S., please don't forget the imminent threat of being robbed of our public lands. Once this happens, to paraphrase Heather Cox Richardson, we will never get them back. (Sample letter to U.S. senators included in article.)

This has become a genocide of Black and Brown people in the United States. It is simultaneously shocking, horrifying, and devastating and completely on brand for this country.
And these things are certainly not mutually exclusive. :-(
I'm researching the history of the coal industry in WV, including the so-called Coal Mine Wars, as part of a book I'm writing. The first paragraph of this article alone is infuriating & heartbreaking. Of course, that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Thank you so much for the work you do.

Yes. And this is why I have consistently disagreed with calls to impeach Trump. Unless the entire regime is removed, this would only hasten our demise. Vance is younger and smarter and has a longer attention span. And he understands the assignment.
This makes me physically ill.
Help out if you can. And donate to the ones that have the least please.

🚨The MAGA Cult wants to destroy PBS because they don’t bow down to their dear leader like 60 minutes does.
I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
I’ve been thinking about you, imagining how agonizing this must be for you. 🙁

There’s no guarantee full payments will arrive by Thanksgiving or even before December.
