A Portal into Pandemonium
Years ago, during the first Trump administration, our organization led a Swamp Tour of DC, taking a bus around the city and describing how various swamp monsters earned their spot on a tour of DC’s most corrupt and self-serving political operatives.

Trump Is Blinding the Government to Methane Pollution. But Others Are Still Watching.
Methane makes up a small portion of greenhouse gas emissions in terms of quantity, but it is one of the most important drivers of climate change, as it’s over 80 times more powerful at trapping heat than carbon dioxide in its first 20 years in the atmosphere. A significant amount of the extreme warming that we will experience in our lifetimes, and the planetary tipping points that we breach, will be propelled by methane—and emissions are rising faster than ever.

Corruption Calendar Week 31: The Crises Continue
We are almost through our first summer of what is sure to be a long and ruinous four years. This past week, while Trump tightened control of his invasion of Washington, D.C, gargantuan wildfires ravaged lands in Colorado and Florida. Over in Texas, state Republicans completed step one of their plot to distort the electoral map ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, sending the newly redrawn maps to the Texas State Senate. D.C. residents are far from the only victims of our ever growing police state, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to kidnap and terrorize community members across the country.
