Protecting What Matters: The Couple Behind Some of the Keweenaw’s Most Important Conservation Efforts communitysentinel.media/2026/07/17/p...

17,315 acres of wild intact Keweenaw Forest. All the wildlife you can imagine wolves bear deer moose mink fisher otter loons eagles warblers. Have $21 million need $9m more. All volunteer; 100% to acquisition. 17,315 acres!! lotsa bang for the buck. PLEASE REPOST!! Www.GratiotRiverWatershed.org

I might believe the concern about environmental toxins more if they weren’t terminating EPA research grants, proposing to roll back the Mercury and Air Toxics rule, promoting coal and killing renewables, etc. Watch what they do, not what they say. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Excellent news! Sublime is awesome -- check out their appearance on the Volts pod:

The Sibs L to R Bailey, Sofia, and brother Strider. They will be 6 on July 31. 375 lbs (120 120 135) of fun and love. They love cruising in our beater ‘99 Suburban.

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

HUGE HUGE HUGE

Can someone explain this to me? Is the idea to fund tax cuts for the super-wealthy by letting unemployed people die without proper medical care? Is there something I am missing here? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

Last night, I went on CNN for the first time to talk about a dire new study showing catastrophic sea-level rise even if the world manages to keep global temperatures from rising beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius, or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMgA...

Ok BlueSky Merlin, do your thing. Northern Waterthrush? Never did see this loud low skulker. @wiscobirder.bsky.social

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

When your house is on fire do you save money by not putting it out, only to deal with the far greater expense of homelessness and starvation? And starting the whole neighborhood on fire too? So fucking tired of hearing that getting off coal oil gas is too expensive. We’re homeless if we don’t.

This animation shows how temperatures have changed over the last 100 years for each February-April period. On each map, red shading indicates warmer than average conditions, and blue shading shows the opposite. Note the trend. Data from NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...).

Really bad news for the next generation and beyond The world’s ice sheets are on course for runaway melting, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise. The dire prognosis from a group of international scientists suggests that coastlines will pay the heaviest price. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

We can it a “wave of love” 💕 Sometimes overwhelmed with such strong feelings for these 2. They are so beautiful and smart and sweet and loving. And so well behaved. Cherishing every moment of our (hoped for) 12-14 years together. They turn 6 on July 31. Have another sister and their mom too.

Wait, it saves money, creates jobs, makes us healthier, gives true energy independence at any scale, and saves life on earth as we know it? Hmmm, such a difficult choice 🙄

It was a decision to support an administration that would or could be persuaded to stop the Israeli aggression, or one that would never listen. I stand by my decision. Also, there were other issues that were on that ballot, not everyone is a one issue voter.

Red Oaks leafing out. Fresh yellowish green against the bright blue sky ❤️ White Gold cherries (similar to Rainier) in bloom.

#EV charging stations coming on-line at #Walmart sites. Should put a big dent in the range-anxiety arguments against EVs.

Bechtel is set to install approximately two million solar panels over the next two years—around half of which will be manufactured in the US. More than 1,200 jobs are expected to be created at the height of the Mammoth Solar project, with at least 15% dedicated to apprenticeships. 🔌💡

Coal oil and gas is on the way out simply due to economics. The problem is entrenched infrastructure and power will delay the too long normal transition, when we need to speed it. Plus we’re losing tech/ economic leadership. So f*cking stupid for the planet, the country, the economy.

This is what’s so infuriating about OR pull back from the Advance Clean Truck rule, Daimler, a supposed EV truck leader is based in PDX, we are ceding this market overseas denying local economic development AND condemns us to more years of deadly air pollution

Climate scientist Jeff Masters explains how our new Energy Secretary Chris Wright is using numbers selectively plucked from IPCC reports to mislead Americans about climate change.

Such a good point. It’s a competition to give the most results for the least expense, and done for love of knowledge.

Today is the last day for Ontarians to comment on Bill 5, which would wipe out the the Endangered Species Act and give cabinet the power to create “special economic zones” where development can be pushed through without regard for provincial or municipal rules. #onpoli

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy. The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours of electricity with renewables alone. grist.org/energy/calif... #CA #California #Solar #Energy #Renewables #Renewable #Batteries

Taylor has a nicer plane than he does. She gave $197 million in employee bonuses. She didn’t take hand outs from terrorists or make any employees afraid of her or throw tantrums. She’s still HOT as ever you sack of shit toddler! people.com/taylor-swift...

I’m only 63 but I guess I’m entering my weepy old man phase. Just treated myself to this book and upon seeing the cover, reading the jacket, and flipping through it I am unexpectedly crying. Equal parts appreciation for the research voyages, the now-disappearing fauna, the valued pure science.

Plastic is found in every corner of the earth and then some! From every corner of earth to space. Plastic doesn’t easily degrade and instead breaks into smaller pieces and threatens the health of every living being on the planet. For more, check out @plasticpollutes.bsky.social for me info!

“The initiatives in the Climate Realism launch are the initiatives of giving up. Investing in adaptation is needed in any scenario, but tying this to notions of protecting our borders reeks of discredited lifeboat ethics, which only leaves others to suffer for our sins.” heatmap.news/ideas/climat...

People who hate medical science now in charge of health. People who hate the postal service and public schools now in charge of the postal service and education department. A draft-dodging Putin puppet who thinks military service is for chumps is commander-in-chief. Thanks, GOP voters/nonvoters!

www.cnn.com/2025/05/09/c... good to see sea level rise getting some major media coverage

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

The United States Constitution is, as amended, the definition of DEI. It aspires to equal opportunity, equal treatment, and equal protection under the law for ALL. How long before Trump unequivocally states he’s not only not going to follow the Constitution, he’s going to abolish it as DEI?

If you’re posting about impeachment - my blocked word- but NOT ABOUT VOTING STRAIGHT D TICKET? IN EVERY ELECTION??? You are the problem. One cannot happen w/o the other. Cause and effect.

Congratulations Australia, Canada, and Mexico for overwhelmingly voting against trumpism/conservatism. We understand you still like most Americans and hope you will continue to wish us well as we are trying to take out the trash.

🔥 “There’s something wrong in this country… everything has gone up but wages… how many yachts and houses does one person need? — They want us to stay poor, stay hidden, and die silently.” 🇺🇸 #FightTheOligarchy H/T @violadavis.bsky.social

Obama was a PRESIDENT with integrity, he always did the right thing. Trump wants to personally Micro Manage everything in the country. He wants to impeach any Judge that does not agree with him. But that would defeat the CHECKS AND BALANCES system that the founding fathers created.
