The American public is sick of the corruption that’s now destroying laws and regulations that protect every aspect of life for the majority of Americans, in favor of deep-pocketed corporations and oligarchs, thanks to Citizens United.
Continue reading “Help Kill “Citizens United,” Montana-style!”WHY IS VOLDEMORT DOING THIS? This video of Paul Weyrich, now-dead founder of the Heritage Foundation, lays out the whole plot in 40 seconds.
His foundation, along with their Project 2025 gang and the GOP want only White wealthy landowners to vote, just like back at the signing of the Constitution. They’ve been working hard for decades to destroy all the pesky constitutional amendments and laws that opened up their private club to us groundlings and they feel this is their time to strike.

It uses different arguments than what the “YES on 50” campaign is focused on, as they are reaching out to the MAGA and undecided demographic. But the damage of an unconstrained Trump for another two years will harm all of us, so we need to be able to competently push back against what they’re shoveling. There are 5 points to cover. Buckle up!
(Sierra Club) “Make Polluters Pay for Climate Disasters!
From deadly heat waves to raging fires to devastating floods, fossil fuel pollution is fueling extreme weather that endangers lives, destabilizes ecosystems and communities, and costs billions of dollars per year. Families nationwide are left with higher insurance costs, rising food prices, and mounting health bills, all while Big Oil rakes in record profits and pays nothing for the damage they’ve caused.
It doesn’t have to be this way: The Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act in Congress, introduced by Representatives Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Judy Chu (D-CA) would require oil and gas companies to contribute just a fraction of their profits to a federal Climate Superfund. That funding would go directly to rebuilding communities, protecting frontline neighborhoods, and preparing for future disasters.”
America’s roadless forests are sanctuaries for grizzly bears, gray wolves, salmon, spotted owls, and hundreds of other species. These lands — nearly 60 million acres of national forests — are some of the most intact, connected wildlife habitats left in the United States.
The Roadless Area Conservation Rule has protected roadless forests since 2001, keeping them free from logging, road-building, and other industrial development.
Road-building and logging in roadless forests will fragment habitats; disrupt wildlife migration routes; introduce invasive species; and bring noise, dust, pollution, and human pressure deep into the quiet backcountry, threatening already vulnerable and endangered plants and animals. Once these areas are gone, they’re gone forever. Roadless forests are the beating heart of biodiversity, where the wild can still be wild. The United States wisely protected these places decades ago.
Note: The US Forest Service comment period will open on Friday, August 29. To help show broad support for the Roadless Rule, make a comment –You can find all sorts of talking points down below under “Deeper Dive.”

Oxnard has just added their name to the list of cities who’ve recently joined a lawsuit (Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem) initiated by the ACLU which challenges the constitutionality of the Trump administration’s immigration raids. Los Angeles (and Los Angeles County), Pico Rivera, Montebello, Monterey Park, Culver City, Santa Monica and West Hollywood have already signed on. That list should include every city in Ventura County, including the county itself.
These lawsuits are important! Bautista, et al. v. Noem seeks to strike down a new policy enacted by ICE ending bond eligibility for immigrants currently detained by the agency. And there’s been a recent victory.
