The Trump administration is attempting to gut the Endangered Species Act by narrowing its definition of harm. Under their proposed changes, destroying an endangered species’ habitat would no longer count as harm. This would put vulnerable species at risk.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

One of my photos from this year, I realized I am now this egret: The eggs are my health, my financial security, and my loved ones, and ever since Nov 5 I have this terrible forboding that something massive is lurking that I can't control but...dammit I can still fly.
