I am a Mom and a conservationist working to restore tropical ecosystems in places where people live. People and nature belong together. Currently building the #MacheteProject and leading Pasopacifico.org
Freedom BairdThe story I needed this morning —
“Now thriving after more than a month of around-the-clock care, the cub is expected to remain at the center for up to a year. Staff are using enrichment sessions that mimic maternal behavior to prepare him for a future return to the wild, including staff members dressed as bears, plush toys and camouflaged headsets."

Heidi Li FeldmanAppalling, reprehensible, and unsurprising: contrary to Trump regime claims, large numbers of those shipped to CECOT had entered the U.S. legally. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/19/el-salvador-prison-migrants-us-report
Chuck DarwinColumbia University’s board was always on the same wavelength as the Trump administration.
On several of the task force’s demands
— including banning masks, restricting protests, stripping disciplinary powers from the senate, and allowing campus police to arrest demonstrators
— the group was ready to concede immediately.
On March 21, it sent a letter to the government essentially surrendering.
Perhaps reflecting an understanding that the letter would not go over well with the Columbia community, nobody signed it…

Edge 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇦🏳️🌈Another excellent story from @ProPublica on the impact of #Helene on the mountains of #NC, this time focusing on rural #Yancy county.
So grateful for their continued coverage of the devastation in this region, and the need for better and more preparedness, and not the cuts in funding we are seeing now.

Prof. Stefan RahmstorfNew study: The risk of flooding events along the U.S. Northeast coast has doubled since 2005. Now, scientists have discovered that up to 50% of these events occurred because key Atlantic ocean currents are slowing down. #AMOC 🌊

The decline of key Atlantic currents is underway, and it's been flooding parts of the US for 20 years
New research has linked sea level rise and an increase in flooding in the U.S. Northeast over the past 20 years to the breakdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).
Greg Johnston@VisualStuart Was sitting in my living room watching TV, at the time lived in Montesano WA, maybe 60-70 miles away. Heard the boom, news came on that it had erupted, looked out the window and could see the giant plume. Couple weeks later, on June 1, we got ash fall from a secondary eruption, really fine-grained stuff I used for a couple years to clean my hands after working on my truck and boat. Have climbed the mountain three times since.
