Ecuador has officially recognized Cuyabeno–Yasuní Connectivity Corridor, which connects two of the Amazon’s most important protected areas.
Corridors safeguard biodiversity, preserve ecosystem integrity, and ensure species' long-term survival. Also well-being of local communities.

A ‘cuasnóg’ (a nest of wild bees) is directly translated as ‘a lucky find’ in an Irish-English Dictionary, 1977
Nuances of this definition seeps into folklore
And so, the arrival of a swarm of #bees is deemed to be a lucky omen💫

DOGE staffers attempted to assign a team and take control of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), but CPB leaders resisted citing federal law that protects the nonprofit’s independence from government interference.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!
It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Incredible eruption associated with today's X1.2-class flare off the western limb. Imagery of the solar storm is still coming in, but expecting it to look like a partial halo. The storm itself will probably miss Earth, but energetic particles are currently streaming towards Earth

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

If you're buying concert tickets or booking a hotel, companies are now required to tell you the full price up front. No more tricks or traps.
This is what it looks like when government holds corporations accountable.

Ticketmaster will finally show the full price of your ticket up front
Now you can see how much Ticketmaster tacks on before you reach checkout.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) averaged nearly 430 ppm in April 2025 (new record high)
10 years ago April averaged about 404 ppm. Preliminary data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/...
This isn't going away. The longer we wait to address climate change, the greater the impacts and the harder it becomes to solve

Cutting funding already appropriated by Congress is illegal. That's why Republicans were planning to put what's called a "rescissions" package on the floor this month—a roundabout way of legitimizing billions of dollars in DOGE cuts.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.
