So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?
On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.
But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

Don’t call them “potential conflicts of interest.” This is corruption before our very eyes. All the rest of the chainsaw maneuvers is just to distract us from what is really going on. Let him know that We SEE You!!

Against decades of pressure, the Tagaeri and Taromenane tribes stood firm. Ecuador’s top court has now upheld their right to live in isolation—halting oil exploration in their territory. A powerful reminder: resilience can protect both culture and nature. #IndigenousRights #Rainforest #Resilience

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Another attack on the NPS. Our national parks are natural treasures preserved for the people and future generations to enjoy. They are cost efficient and slashing their infrastructure will dismantle a 100 + years of work to establish them.
Yosemite National Park figured out a way to eliminate bumper-to-bumper traffic and hour-long waits: limit the number of visitors by requiring reservations.
But the reservation system is now on hold to give the Trump administration time to review the planned changes.

Farmers’ discovery has major implications for all of America’s cornfields: 'It's wonderful to see'
