  No. 1,347, April 30, 2026   Speak Out to Protect Whales From Ship Strikes Whales are dying at alarming rates along the West Coast. Dozens have been found dead off California, Oregon, and Washington in recent weeks, and the count is still rising.  According to a new study focusing on the San Francisco Bay , nearly 1 in every 5 gray whales entering the bay dies — and more than 40% of the time, ship strikes are the cause. Limiting vessel speeds in key whale habitat to below 10 knots (roughly 11.5 miles per hour) is a tried-and-true way to reduce tragic whale deaths and injuries, especially for mothers and calves, who are at greater risk from ships because they spend a lot of time near the ocean's surface. Join the call for whale-safe ship speeds: Urge NOAA Fisheries and the U.S. Coast Guard to require vessel speed limits where whales are most likely to be.   Northwest Wolf Counts Are Up — but So Are Deaths Wolves are increasing in Washington and Oregon, new numbers from state a...

  PLEASE SPEAK OUT AGAINST TRUMP'S MAFIA DOJ! SILENCING DISSENT WITH FALSE ACCUSATIONS IS WHAT DICTATORS DO! Trump’s Justice Department is going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, using federal power to target a civil rights organization that has spent decades forcing dangerous movements into the open. This is an organization that has mapped how organized hate operates behind the scenes, identified who funds it, and brought evidence into the public record when others stayed silent. Their work has made it harder for extremist networks to operate quietly and easier for communities to understand the threats they face. That kind of work disrupts power. It exposes connections that were meant to stay hidden. It creates consequences for people who rely on secrecy to operate. This move is part of a broader effort to weaken the infrastructure that grassroots movements depend on. When organizations that investigate, document, and challenge abuse are forced onto the defensive, the entire ...

The Supreme Court’s decision in  Louisiana v. Callais  is not just another ruling, it’s a signal of how far power has drifted from everyday people.

  SHARED TO INFORM AND EDUCATE!  THESE ACTIONS ARE IGNORED BY CORPORATE MEDIA, BUT PEOPLE ARE  PROTESTING ICE GESTAPO ABUSE, NEGLECT, INHUMANE CONDITIONS AND  DENIAL OF DUE PROCESS AND COMMUNICATION.    40 weeks ago, we drove to the edge of the Florida Everglades and stood outside a detention facility in the sweltering heat. There was a lone sign that said "Alligator Alcatraz" on the side of Rt 41, miles through the entrance.  We knew there were people detained, 32 to a cage, who couldn't get word to their families about where they'd been taken or why. We didn't know how long we'd be doing this. We only knew that we would be there for as long as it takes – because we refuse to be silent in the face of this inhumane detention machine. Here we are:  This weekend marks week 40 of our vigil outside Alligator Alcatraz  – 40 consecutive weeks of showing up, demanding change, and refusing to let a facility designed to be invisible stay that way. For...
