The 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, commonly known as the Roadless Rule, prohibits the construction of new roads through some 45 million acres of national forests.

I found my occupy sign from 15 years ago. We knew that such extreme inequality would lead to this current fascist nightmare that is spreading throughout the world.

Break them up.

The Roads Have Eyes! 👁️ Turn on the Surveillance Layer in Map Options to see known license plate readers from Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions (Vigilant), Genetec, Axis Communications, Axon, Leonardo (ELSAG), Neology, Rekor, PlateSmart, Ubicquia, Verkada, and other outdoor surveillance cameras.

Today is Latina Equal Pay Day, the day that Latina pay *finally* catches up to what White, non-Hispanic men made last year alone. It’s economic injustice. America’s unions are fighting to end the wage gap for good and level the playing field with union contracts ✊

Jefferson Proving Ground has tons of depleted uranium dust that i have always worried was getting into the water, the soil, the wildlife, and the humans of that area of southern Indiana. I haven’t found any mention of this in the articles i have found so far.

Some of us live on roads on private property. Are they going to turn off the cameras when they drive on private property? I hate that they are finding more ways to track our movements. And making everyone hate USPS

A political action committee focused on electing Oregon Republicans to the statehouse is spending hundreds of thousands on a controversial canvassing company Elon Musk hired two years ago to target voters in swing districts. buff.ly/Tj7sP57

Elon Musk’s political PAC hired Blitz in 2024 to send canvassers out to swing districts. Canvassers said they were transported in back of U-Haul vans without seats, threatened with losing lodging if quotas unmet. @miamaldonado.bsky.social reports: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/10/01/o...

"In a 2024 preprint shared in medRxiv, a team of researchers estimated that 9,100 to 11,000 people in California alone developed Long COVID as a result of prison transmission, using data that went only through early 2022." thesicktimes.org/2026/09/29/i...

malcolm harris showing yall how to ally once again

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hey Southern Oregon. Weird coincidence that flock cameras popped up everywhere all at once as ICE presence multiplies.

It's #HispanicHeritageMonth. We celebrate the contributions Latinos have made to the fabric of the U.S. The farm workers who feed us deserve to be recognized and protected.

The Trump admin is fast-tracking logging recently burned areas in Oregon. After this story, it announced another logging project: 16k acres in the Fremont-Winema with a 1-week deadline for public comment. www.opb.org/article/2026...

This means they will go mudding and make even more “trails”. This increases water turbidity which adds to sediment in creeks which is bad for salmon and other aquatic species. Plus it’s noisy and dangerous for hikers, hunters, and wildlife. So tired of these attacks on nature.

Salvage logging=clearcutting everything that survived the fire

Well this is interesting. The Oregon Nursing Association is getting ready to throw hands. saverogueregional.org

More proof that Drazan would be a nightmare for Oregon. No villains! Vote Kotek!!!

I have been witnessing this with bark beetles. I remember the warnings long ago but they weren’t in our area and now every year we are seeing it spread in our forests.

Oversight, standards needed for ethical integration of AI into public health systems, physicians say Without proper vetting and governance, AI tools pose risks to patients, especially those from underserved communities, the authors write. Read more: https://bit.ly/4xpuzSt

America is losing its war against wildfire

The is white privilege in action. There are brown and Black people who are sitting in detention for months, AFTER they already gave up on their valid claims to be here and agreed to be deported. Then they’re deported shackled on an ICE flight while this guy, who had no valid claim, goes commercial.

We’ve been suffering from the effects of climate change for a long time here in the Rogue Valley, especially those who work outdoors, children, pets, wildlife. Hardly anyone masks up here even when the smoke is thick. And the current rate of deforestation here is making it worse.

If you track procedural contradictions: Drazan spent years trying to undermine mail-in voting via legislation (restricting dropoffs) & now her campaign is promoting unofficial ballot couriers. The logic https://loom.ly/QcabGg4

Should USPS unlawfully attempt to interfere with Oregon’s vote-by-mail process, we will immediately challenge that action.

Wildfires are only doing some of the destruction. The logging companies are quickly clearcutting the rest. Look at southern Oregon in Google Maps and you can see that all the recent clearcuts. It looks like a checkerboard. After fires they clearcut the surviving trees calling it salvage logging.

One of my big fears is that Dems will do that “unity matters!” thing & not prosecute government officials who committed crimes 😢 MAGA/MAHA are kidnapping kids & torturing them in concentration camps—but Dems will be “we shouldn’t look back, only look forward, prosecutions won’t help unity” 🤮

“The notion that you can prevent fires by building roads seems to me precisely backwards when you look at what the science says." heatmap.news/adaptation/t...

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

our entire global financial system is currently leveraged to the hilt on the premise that it was good and right for a small cadre of US companies to steal all of the intellectual work ever produced by humanity and sell its back to us without credit or remuneration to the authors (plagiarism)

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

According to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health, a single-payer universal health care system could: ➡️ Cover every American ➡️ Save more than 100,000 lives a year ➡️ Cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace 1/

Flock Safety’s nationwide surveillance network sells out Americans’ privacy and puts us all at risk. Visit aclu.org/gtfo_ to learn how you can urge your elected officials to stop working with them.

Yes! Come on Jackson County! We can be next! They even have one in little Wimer.

Implementing a universal, single-payer healthcare system would save the U.S. more than $1 trillion and some 114,000 lives every year, according to a recent Yale University preprint study

This Day in Labor History: August 10, 1680. The Pueblo Revolt began in New Mexico. They forced the Spanish out of their northern colonies for twelve years. One major reason for the revolt was the brutality of colonial Spain’s slave labor regime it forced on the pueblos!!!
