The image is a black and white photograph depicting an industrial setting. In the foreground, there are multiple railroad tracks with several freight cars parked alongside them on one side of the track. The railcars appear to be boxcars or hopper cars commonly used for transporting goods such as potatoes. Behind these railcars stands a large shed painted in two tones: dark upper half and white lower half. On this structure, there is prominent lettering that reads "Klamath Potatoes," suggesting it's associated with potato storage or processing operations. Next to the main building are additional structures labeled "California Malting Co." which indicates different businesses operating within the vicinity. The buildings have a utilitarian design typical of industrial facilities from earlier times, featuring gabled roofs and simple construction without much ornamentation. There is an open field surrounding these establishments with no visible vegetation or significant landscaping elements. The sky above appears clear but devoid of any distinct features such as clouds. Overall, this scene portrays the commercial activity in what seems to be a rural area involved in agricultural trade during perhaps mid-20th century America based on architectural style and attire that might have been worn by workers at these facilities back then.

How one family fought for 100 years to free the Klamath River Dams sickened the Klamath River for over a century. Across generations, a family fought to heal the waterway and save its salmon.

Yesterday, while 7 million friends joined #NoKings protests, I celebrated the return of the king — King (Chinook) Salmon, that is.

Tribes & their allies brought down 4 #Klamath dams. Now these fish have returned to the upper river where they haven’t been seen in over 100 years.

#Resistance works!

Love this video of the first young tribe members paddling their #salmon-spawning river after 107 years, after 4 dams were removed.

15 teens. 300 miles. One mighty ancestral river, running free. The removal of four dams finally made a descent of the Klamath possible. These Indigenous kayakers became the first to attempt it.

These kids. Just wow. I really do hope communities in river basins across the world are taking notice of the possible!

Rising Support for Immigration, New Jersey's Universal Preschool, and Missouri's Foster Care Reform In this episode of Good News for Lefties, host Beowulf Rochlen takes you on an inspiring journey through a series of uplifting stories that highlight progress and resilience amidst challenging times. We begin with a remarkable shift in public sentiment, as nearly 80% of Americans now view immigration positively—the highest level of optimism in 25 years. This change reflects a growing recognition of the benefits immigrants bring to our society, transcending political divides and promoting a more inclusive narrative. Next, we celebrate New Jersey's groundbreaking legislation aimed at providing universal, high-quality early education for all children. Governor Phil Murphy's new law mandates full-day kindergarten by 2030 and expands access to preschool, ensuring that families across the state can benefit from foundational learning opportunities that foster economic mobility and address educational disparities. Missouri also makes headlines with a significant reform that protects the financial futures of vulnerable children in foster care. By ending the practice of seizing foster children's Social Security benefits to cover care costs, the state is prioritizing the needs of these young individuals and setting a higher standard for child welfare. We then turn our attention to a historic expedition by Indigenous youth who are paddling 300 miles down the Klamath River, marking a cultural reclamation following the removal of hydroelectric dams. This journey not only symbolizes healing and sovereignty for the tribes but also highlights the resilience of the river's ecosystem as salmon populations begin to thrive once again. Lastly, we discuss the preparations for a strike by concession workers at Fenway Park, who are advocating for fair wages and job security amidst rising automation. Their efforts underscore the importance of human connection in creating a vibrant community experience at the ballpark. Join us for this empowering episode filled with stories of hope and the belief that positive change is not only possible but actively unfolding around us!

Decommissioning Dams have just gripped me with the biggest sense of natures preserverance. I am constantly astonished and grateful of the reports out of #klamath

Wonderful news for native American tribes and for salmon.

If you've ever been on the river and seen the salmon jumping *upstream* you understand the flow of things.
