A very important story. The damage being done just ripples and ripples. abcnews.com/amp/Politics...

Abomination. www.gadgetreview.com/trumps-borde...

As at the border, in places where they want to mine, or build a hotel... they think our public lands belong to them. newrepublic.com/post/215593/...

"... a breathtaking affront to tribal sovereignty..." www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...

Privatizing federal land sets a dangerous precedent for Georgia’s top loggerhead sea turtle nesting habitat. This island is supposed to become wilder over time, preserved in its primitive state, but what these land exchanges do is take things in the exact opposite direction.

Public lands are where we hike, camp, explore and make lasting memories. They're also worth speaking up for. This National Public Lands Day, join us in urging Congress to keep public lands in public hands: https://nature.ly/4A17ZlL

Meanwhile, they are ripping up a national wildlife refuge on the Rio Grande, part of a wildlife corridor that has been pieced together by volunteers and donors over many years. www.texasobserver.org/santa-ana-wi...

All pretext that NOAA uses science to manage our oceans and fisheries are out the window The fox is in charge of the hen house www.fisheries.noaa.gov/leadership-m...

The cruelty is the point. www.notus.org/agencies/int...

My mission is to empower board members of small nonprofits as they seen to understand their unique role, embrace their responsibilities, and organize their work for maximum effectiveness and minimum headache. This packed LinkedIn newsletter is part of how I do that. www.linkedin.com/pulse/doing-...

The folks around Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge always said NASA's environmental scientists were great partners as the two agencies co-managed the land and water. They aren't saying that now. myemail.constantcontact.com/Your-Voice-M...

A great victory for the land, water, and wildlife thanks to Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges and others in the coalition. trustees.org/wp-content/u...

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social Our public lands need you. No one else is going to lean in like you would. www.republic.land/the-refuge-s...

Truth. www.republic.land/the-refuge-s...

In Utah, in Alaska, in Minnesota, along our southern border OUR public lands are being privatized for the financial gain of a few. This is what Teapot Dome was about. This is how oligarchs got to be oligarchs. We must squawk like Hell, throw sand in the gears. bsky.app/profile/envi...

Think they forgot about the border wall? Think again. They are ripping up wildlife refuges and Native cemeteries, even state parks. www.valleycentral.com/border-repor...

This is just as despicable as it appears: generations of civil rights and social justice advances for people with disabilities rolled back just like that. www.aapd.com/aapd-horrifi...

We will not go back. autismsociety.org/broad-coalit...

More irreparable harm to the land that belongs to all of us, and the wildlife we promised future generations we would protect. www.borderreport.com/border-repor...

"I would rather die in my own bed than ever go into a nursing home again." www.statnews.com/2026/06/15/m...

The definition of irreparable harm. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/o...

Here's a primer on why the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge matters and why we have to keep the promise made to future generations. alaskabeacon.com/2026/06/11/w...

ICYMI. Another example of the administration's endless theft of resources that belong to all of us, further enriching corporate cronies. The impact on this and future generations is enormous. www.americanprogress.org/press/statem...

I hear that sales of National Park passes are down this year, which hurts the Park Service as well as the nonprofits that operate the visitor center stores. Can't do anything about international boycotts, but here is a clever idea for solving that other little problem: www.parkpasssleeves.com

Thank you, thank you @connectwithjacob.bsky.social and @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social for covering the public lands crisis on your first show. Please keep it going. Glyphosate in National Forests. Destruction of National Wildlife Refuges at border and Alaska. $ for Parks shifted to DC vanity projects.

Of course, it isn't just parks under pressure but also national wildlife refuges, national forests, and other public lands. We thank the National Parks Conservation Association for leading out on this one. www.npca.org/articles/114...

The destruction of public lands is rampant in the US just now. Wouldn't it be great if Americans would stand up for land, water, and species conservation like Albanians have done? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Advocacy works. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/06...

Abolition of scientific research at CDC and NIH is well reported. Less well known is what they are doing to destroy critical data sets related to the environment. spklr.io/6047EMa61

The good news for people with disabilities in Ohio is their voices are being heard... at least by some. Apparently, work is underway on a substitute bill that will be voted on in committee tomorrow. Family caregivers are an integral part of the system. prod.cdn.everyaction.com/emails/van/E...

Read my lips: there is no such thing as clean coal. abcnews.com/US/trump-tou...

The Southern Povery Law Center is the canary in the coal mine. If your nonprofit organization supports racial equity, women's rights, the LGBTQ community, religious freedom, or environmental justice, the federal government considers you a domestic terrorist. www.aclu.org/news/nationa...

We keep hearing discussions about what we will rebuild when the destroyer-in-chief and his cultists are finally tossed out (again), but some things can never be rebuilt. Some precious things are lost forever. theintercept.com/2026/04/30/a...

Another short term victory. The fight continues. www.taxpayer.net/energy-natur...

They talk about fraud in the Medicaid system. They say people with disabilities are not affected, but that was always a lie. California is being punished. Virginia is creating new roadblocks in my brother's annual renewal process. And in Ohio, the Kool-Aid is flowing. www.wosu.org/2026-06-04/d...

The only way they can cut $1T from Medicaid is to gut services to people with disabilities by labeling it fraud. In Columbus, they are drinking the Kool-Aid. www.statenews.org/government-p...

Happy National Self-Employed Day! Click through to my LinkedIn to see why I think self-employed people make great nonprofit board members. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

My personal circumstances are not the only things that have changed. The political and economic headwinds faced by leaders in the nonprofit sector are stronger than ever. The new service mix at my business is designed to better accomodate both sets of needs. www.linkedin.com/posts/cathyt...

Hot off the preses. Here is Part 2 of my 3-part series for LinkedIn on changes that are going on for me personally and professionally. Even if you don't have a LinkedIn account, you should be able to read the article by clicking through where it wants you to log in. www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-jou...

I just did something pretty unusual for me - posting a deeply personal article on LinkedIn I call Consulting While Caregiving. www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-jou...

Well done, Alaska! The nonprofit sector needs more champions like you! www.nonprofitpro.com/article/alas...

ICYMI... The Social Security Administration is taking the required annual renewal process for disability determinations away from the states and centralizing them in the federal government. www.ssa.gov/news/en/pres...
