BREAKING: In a win for public schools and educators, a court rejects Trump-Vance admin’s assault on public education as unconstitutional.

This decision in our case proves what we've long known – the admin's attempt to weaponize federal funding and require compliance with their flawed interpretation of civil rights is unlawful.

“Threatening teachers and sowing chaos in schools throughout America is part of the administration’s war on education, and today the people won.” - CEO Skye Perryman

🗑️ Most products today are made of synthetic materials, namely plastics, which don’t last long and wreak havoc on the environment and our bodies⁠. This continues to feed overconsumption, especially when you can’t repair it yourself and need a replacement.

📲 Big brands drive sales with cheap plastic goods, that they know won’t last long.

⏰ It’s time to hold big brands accountable for the pollution they create. ⁠

🚗🔥 Driving Tips During a Wildfire Evacuation

When it’s time to go, your car is your safest refuge—if you know how to use it right:

✅ Lights on — keep your headlights on
✅ Buckle up — seatbelts save lives
✅ Carpool smart — fill every seat, help neighbors (especially elderly or disabled)
✅ Stay calm — drive slowly, don’t pass in low visibility, don’t panic in traffic
✅ Air on inside — keep windows up, AC & recirculation on
✅ Stay informed — tune in to local news radio
✅ Stick to pavement — fire roads are for firefighters, not evacuation routes
✅ Avoid stopping on “inside turns” on roads where unburned vegetation lies in the drainage below the road
✅ If trapped — stay in your car or move to a safe refuge area

🚙💨 Pro tip: Take the vehicle that’s most capable and has the fullest gas tank

Your safety—and your community’s—depends on staying calm and prepared.
