  1. There are many ways to demonstrate courage against the anti-environment authoritarian takeover. Here's one. Thank you, Bentley Hensel.

    This guy got 700,000+ views on TikTok begging media to cover Trump’s push to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

    He asked, we obliged. Read @leahgarden.bsky.social on the great lengths it can take to engage people on one of America’s most remote ecosystems:

    Bentley Hensel prepared for eight months to show people the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—and nearly drowned while doing it.

  2. Journalists, when was the last time you scrolled TikTok? Check out this story from ‪@emorwee.bsky.social‬ about a micro-influencer engaging his followers to take climate action with videos from his summer backpacking trip to #ANWR.

  4. To answer the question in the headline: You quote him, period. It is not our job, nor is it appropriate, to protect the reading and listening public from the vulgarity of this president. I’m dismayed that this is even a newsroom debate in 2025. www.poynter.org/commentary/2...

    President Donald Trump said it. Loud and live. Now editors have to decide how much of it you get to hear or read.

  6. This is such an important story for the ocean. Losing these sea stars meant losing whole forests of kelp, whole ecosystems. And although scientists have just identified the bacteria behind the disease, as this story points out, they already knew there was a "co-conspirator" in rising temperatures.

    Sea stars—26 species—have been dying by the billions from Mexico to Alaska, their arms tearing off, their bodies dissolving, w/huge consequences for the sea.

    Experts finally figured out why— and gave @biographic.bsky.social exclusive access.

    Can we save them? www.biographic.com/unmasking-th...

    After a decade of carnage, we finally know what’s devastating sea stars along North America’s West Coast. Does that mean scientists can save them?
