Petition for change at REI

As a long-time REI member, I’m deeply concerned about the direction the company is taking under its current leadership. Recent endorsements and decisions threaten our cherished natural spaces and wildlife, prioritizing fossil fuel development over conservation. With a board filled with corporate interests, there’s a crucial opportunity to advocate for

In the summer of 2024, the Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise—a 920-page blueprint for a second Trump administration known as “Project 2025”—laid bare a radical vision for America’s public lands.

Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2T so that they can cut taxes for the rich. Not you. Not to balance the budget. For the rich.

Don’t pretend to support the Constitution if you still support Trump. Congress writes the laws. Courts interpret the laws. Executive enforces/enacts the laws. Anything else is blatantly unconstitutional.

Near-zero chance that CA will secede, but hopefully we can rethin

Near-zero chance that CA will secede, but hopefully we can rethink the balance of power. 40 million Californians get 2 senators, 550,000 Wyoming citizens get the same. The electoral college is unbalanced too. Since President/Senate pick judiciary, CA is under represented there too.

Sen. Wyden to RFK Jr “Mr. Kennedy, all of these things cannot be true. So, are you lying to Congress today when you say you are pro-vaccine, or did you lie on all of those podcasts? We have all of this on tape.” And yet it won’t do a damn thing and every chickens**t R […]
