Trump's cruel immigration agenda is affecting our communities right here in Pennsylvania. From ICE operations in Pittsburgh to the horrific conditions at Moshannon Valley, we’ve seen the human cost of mass detention and enforcement. We need accountability, not more hearings.

The US "Endangered Species Act" has been ruined by Trump. In a typically sneaky move, he has changed two words & upended the Act. grist.org/language/endangere… The change means 50 years of wildlife conservation can be damaged. Trump's really Making America Grate Again (pun intended).

Trump wants his murderers at the polls to make sure you are scared to vote btw
Pierre Damas Bel was killed Monday after he stepped into traffic on Interstate 70 near Springfield, Ohio. The Haitian immigrant's family says he had become increasingly depressed over the ICE ankle monitor he was issued in late July. The device, they say, sidelined him from playing soccer, stopped him from getting a new ROTC uniform and prompted bullying from some of his classmates. cnn.it/3UTYDYN Editor's note: This story involves discussion of suicide that some readers may find upsetting.

This is misleading. What the report actually says is that we must — AND CAN — limit the worst damage by stopping warming fast and declining it to below 1.5°C. Don't fall for doomer headlines. We can win a livable future, and it's a disgrace that our leaders aren't acting.
The UN has updated their climate report, warning that humans have lost the chance to reverse the worst damage of climate change.

“The Bitcoin mining facility at the center of El Reno’s massive water leak never had city permits to operate, built a fire hydrant the city didn’t know about, and violated multiple codes—and raises new questions about how it fits into the broader statewide data center debate.” By @SHumphreyTV kfor.com/news/local/el-reno-…

During Chicago’s 1995 heatwave, more than 700 lives were lost. Decades of redlining and disinvestment left Black and low-income neighborhoods hotter, with fewer trees, less access to AC, and higher exposure to extreme heat. Read more on our Substack here: open.substack.com/pub/ccan/p…
