Happy Pride. Over 900 anti-trans bills have been introduced this year alone. This isn’t a debate—it’s a coordinated attack. We don’t do silence. We show up, we speak out, and we fight back. Always.🏳️⚧️

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

The US government stole the Black Hills. Now it’s clear-cutting them.
The Trump administration wants to fast-track logging in the Black Hills. What could go wrong? A lot, say tribes, scientists, and conservationists.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

In March, 48 people were arrested in New Mexico, according to an ICE press release. Why is nothing known about who was arrested or their whereabouts?

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

According to Marilú, they had just left home when unfamiliar cars appeared. Moments later, three vehicles boxed them in. Armed men in green vests ordered them out. No names. No badges.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Citizens should be deeply concerned regarding #MI handling of Enbridge’s proposed oil tunnel project, that will blast and drill under the Great Lakes for years. If the state does not require full permitting for this risky project, it will set dangerous precedent. #miegle must act! via @bridgemi.com
