Mike Levin tweet: California has not requested assistance from the National Guard because it is not needed. Local and state officials are able to effectively manage the situation. Invoking the Insurrection Act under these circumstances is not a show of leadership — it is an abuse of power. In this critical moment, we urge everyone to remain peaceful. Violence only serves those who seek to justify further escalation.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.
with june being pride month, i wanted to take the occasion to clearly say this: i unhesitatingly & wholeheartedly support my lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, and queer friends, their rights, their marriages, their pursuits of happiness and their breath. this is also true july thru may
A map of the United States titled “Students in every community rely on federal funding for public schools,” created by the National Education Association (NEA). The map uses a color gradient from light orange (2.7%) to dark purple (29.0%) to show the percentage share of K–12 public school revenue that comes from federal funding in each school district. Most of the Southeast, Southwest, and rural western areas appear in darker purples, indicating higher reliance on federal funding, while the Northeast, Midwest, and parts of the West Coast show lighter shades, indicating lower reliance. A note at the bottom states that data excludes independent charter districts and cites multiple sources including the 2022 Census of Governments and the U.S. Department of Education.
nea NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION "For too long, parents, educators and students have pleaded with elected leaders to live up to their promise to every student and provide the resources give them every opportunity to thrive. And for too long, our leaders have failed us, and this is yet another example." NEA President Becky Pringle on Trump's budget proposal

ALT text: A chart titled “Musk’s Businesses Benefit Under Trump Shake-Up” shows connections between various U.S. federal agencies and Elon Musk’s companies—SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and X (formerly Twitter)—as well as Musk himself. It uses arrows to indicate either federal investigations (gold arrows) or regulatory battles (pink arrows). • SpaceX is linked to the Departments of Transportation, Interior, and Justice, involving violations, fines, Starbase review, a lawsuit, and a complaint. • Tesla is connected to the Departments of Interior, Justice, Agriculture, and the National Labor Relations Board, involving investigations, a lawsuit, and complaints. • Neuralink is under investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Department of Agriculture. • X faces investigation and a lawsuit from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Securities and Exchange Commission. • Elon Musk personally is linked to the Department of Defense, Federal Election Commission, and Office of Government Ethics, regarding a security clearance issue, complaints, and oversight. The chart visually shows how these interactions might shift or be impacted under changes initiated by the Trump administration.

r/NationalParkService 4h Join Spread the word! Spread it like fire this is from a reliable inside source!! Transcription of letter: Date: March 7, 2025 at 16:37:55 PST Subject: Washington DC Trip Report Hello Friends: What a week in DC to meet with Trump Administration officials and House Committee on Natural Resources staff and in Utah to work on the Protect Wild Utah campaign...Utah is ground zero for proposed elimination of national parks and national monuments. Meetings with Secretary of the Interior's staff yielded info regarding the canceling of a groundbreaking mountain lion research project in the Santa Monica Mts, new uranium mine proposal in Lake Casitas Watershed, new logging in Los Padres NF and increase in oil drilling next to Sespe Condor Sanctuary. The President and Secretary of the Interior have signed orders to allow new bids for new oil and gas drilling platforms in federal waters of the Santa Barbara Channel WITHOUT environmental review or public participation...first lease sale will be this Spring. Next month The President will sign executive orders downsizing or eliminating a number of national monuments across the west including the Carrizo Plain NM in eastern San Luis Obispo county. The two national marine sanctuaries offshore of California;s Central coast, Channel Islands NMS and Chumash heritage NMS will receive zero funds in the coming fiscal year. Proposed elimination of urban national parks such as the Santa Monica Mtns National Recreation Area was discussed with the Acting Director of the National Park Service. Lots of upcoming plans to close various national parks, national monuments, national forest and national wildlife refuges across the west. We have a whole lot of challenges ahead of us, we need to organize, engage, stand up and speak out. Let's all speak truth to power in DC, let those in power know that people across our nation are not going to accept the Trump/Musk vision for our national public lands and waters stand.
