Can't let Yosemite and Joshua Tree stand alone in their distress signals! Solidarity from the right coast.

Some great letters to the editor in the BDN! This is something we can (and should) all do, and it's one avenue of resistance that this 🦝 needs to work on.

Letters to the editor in the Bangor Daily news, titled "Trump is committing treason," "Be careful with Question 1," and "Join us for No Kings Rally."

Is it ALREADY time to get ready for the Antifa Christmas party? Where has the year gone? 😼

(How early is too early to dress up as Santifa??? 🧑‍🎄)

I know it’s early but…
Wondering what to buy for the Secret Santa swap at the Antifa Christmas Party?

I'm honestly not sure- it started showing up EVERYWHERE yesterday. From one random Threads post (I don't use Threads, so I can't verify 100%) it looks like it possibly came from an Anthony Strong, who goes by @strongleton (also on B'sky, but hasn't posted here in a few months).

The 2024 Rule: build/maintain ecosystem resilience on public lands in three primary ways: (1) protect the most intact, functioning landscapes; (2) restore degraded habitat and ecosystems; and (3) use science/data as the foundation for management decisions across all plans and programs.

Yes, please.

Comment time!
The Bureau of Land Management is proposing to rescind the Conservation and Landscape Health Rule. We have until November 10 to tell them that our public lands need MORE protection, not less.

Vought does want to put people in trauma, after all.

Background image is a cloudy sunrise over water, with evergreen trees in the foreground. Next to an illustrated skull, text flows as if the skull is shouting: “NATIONAL PARKS ARE SHUT DOWN UNTIL GOVERNMENT REOPENS”. Text below reads: The Department of the Interior won’t let the NPS tell you what’s really going on in parks during the shutdown. So we’re telling you.”

As always, never give YOUR information to websites you don't know and trust.

BUUUUUT, this would be a great time for Seymour Butz and all of his friends to put themselves into the database (from a library computer, or at least using a VPN, of course.)

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

One of my concerns with a Mills (who we love, don't get me wrong) Senate run is that maga already has momentum and hatred built against her, especially in the rural parts of the state. Platner seems better equipped to speak to both sides so far, and I think that will help against Collins' inertia.

Susan Collins and her allies (Newsmax donated to her super PAC last cycle) are trying to find a way to plausibly argue that, when the shutdown ends, she was the one who "solved" it.

They pulled the same ploy in 2013. Got debunked (tinyurl.com/2f7kd9fu) but too many outlets played along. #MEpolitics
