An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies. Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, + that rewilding reverses nature loss. theguardian.com/environment/20…

At some point, we lost sight of the fact that to harm nature, is to harm ourselves. We need to turn back to our roots and protect what we have and rebuild, what we have destroyed. Nature is priceless.💚☘️🌱🌿🌲🌳🍀💚

"Other countries have social safety nets; the US has women." Four years ago, that quote of mine went viral, maybe since it captured the weight of what so many women had long been holding, plus the impossibility of holding even more without support as the pandemic dragged on. 1/

Biden: I will leave my successor and my country with a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's under way in America, but nobody, nobody can reverse it.

There's a crisis on our roadways. We lose as many people to vehicle crashes as we do to gun violence in this country—about 40,000 people a year. Let us remember the lives of those we've lost on our roadways and recommit to keeping our roads safe. We all have a role to play.

A single judge in Texas just blocked four million American workers from getting the overtime pay they earn. This is exactly why our fight for workers isn’t over.

NEW: A Texas federal judge has struck down a DOL rule that would have expanded overtime eligibility to four million new workers, kneecapping one of the Biden administration’s most substantial labor policies. blawgo.com/XBrh8tH

So, the people who insist it’s necessary to have an ID to vote don’t think it’s important for someone to have a background check to become the director of national intelligence? Do I have that right?
