Late on Saturday, Trump issued an executive order to boost timber harvest that could open the floodgates to clear-cutting of federal forests
"It's just about trying to cut as much as our forests as possible to line the pockets of timber industry executives.” -Blaine Miller-McFeeley, Earthjustice
National monuments may be on the chopping block.
Despite bipartisan support for protecting public lands, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered agencies to produce action plans to carry out Trump's "energy first" agenda.
Buried in that order are instructions to review all national monuments.
In a few short weeks, President Trump has severely damaged the government’s ability to fight climate change, upending American environmental policy with moves that could have lasting implications for the country, and the planet.
We're suing the Trump administration over an illegal order to revoke offshore oil drilling protections from most U.S. coastlines.
“A nearly identical effort by the first Trump administration to expand drilling was stopped by Earthjustice in federal court.”

It is time for complicit Catholics, in particular, to stop aiding and abetting cruelty by asserting that the Trump Administration is in any way pro-life. It is not. bit.ly/42MfKOa

A cold morning walk before tuning into Nessel v. Enbridge arguments to support Michigan’s efforts to #StopLine5 and protect our Great Lakes.
The proposed Tamarack nickel mine threatens Minnesota's vital water systems, with its footprint spanning both Mississippi and St. Croix River basins. This puts drinking water for millions at risk and endangers clean water access for generations to come. ejus.tc/42af6d8
“The thing to remember is that Northern Iron has been operating illegally for years now,” Lorentz said.
An important article out of St. Paul this morning:
The Great Lakes hold one-fifth of the world's supply of surface freshwater, supplying drinking water to up to 40M people in the U.S. and Canada.
Despite the lakes' significance, Canadian oil giant Enbridge has been shuttling toxic fossil fuels through the Great Lakes since the 1950s.
From Tove Jansson to a graphic novel on Emily Dickinson…Such a good list to get through 2025 ⤵️
Midwest Connection: “The monarch butterfly is now at risk of extinction. Its decline has been linked to pesticide use in the American Midwest. Pesticides are a threat to other insect pollinators as well.”

"Consider that in the very same week that DNR issued permits for Line 5 based on its conclusion that the risk for a spill would be 'low,' DNR was investigating a significant oil leak on another Enbridge pipeline in Wisconsin." #ShutDownLine5

The U.S. can’t afford dirty hydrogen. $44M+ just went to hydrogen hubs in the Midwest & Gulf that risk harming communities & the climate.
Truly clean, green hydrogen must be powered by renewables—not fossil fuels.
“Tests conducted by the state have found PFAS levels in the foam as high as 220,000 parts per trillion. […] Van Eten Lake and the other contaminated streams drain into #LakeHuron, one of the #GreatLakes and a source of drinking water for around 3 million people […].”
