Blogger Frustrations

A screen shot of just three of the blogs I like to read showing they haven't had any new posts for several days.  Except that isn't true if I click on the blog title.

Why can't Blogger correct this problem?

Pause for Good News

Here's a sneak peek at our long list of good news items.

• A U.S. District Court rules that the administration's attempt to cut farm workers’ wages is unlawful.
• A federal court for the Northern District of California rules that deporting U.S. residents for political speech the administration disagrees with is unconstitutional under the First and Fifth Amendments.

Letter or Call Needed

 Subject: Send a letter 👉 Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s Yosemite Giveaway

Blogging Friends in the USA,

Yosemite is public land. It does not belong to a developer.

The Trump regime is working on a deal that would transfer a strip of Yosemite National Park to Kingsbarn Realty Capital, a private firm that wants to cut a road through parkland to reach an 83-acre project just outside the boundary.

They are calling it a “land exchange.” It is a giveaway. Once that road is in, the pressure for more private development at the edge of Yosemite only grows.

Yosemite is already under strain from Park Service staffing cuts. Search and rescue, trash, trails, and visitor safety are stretched. Handing parkland to a developer on top of that is the opposite of protecting it.

Congress has been notified. They can stop this.

Tell your Representative and Senators to block any transfer, exchange, or easement that gives Yosemite land to a private developer—and to restore the Park Service staff this park actually needs.

Will you write a letter?
