The #Trump admin proposed a rule change that would prohibit only actions that directly hurt or kill actual animals, not the #habitats they rely on. If finalized, the change could make it easier to #log, #mine & build on #lands that #EndangeredSpecies need to thrive.

"#Habitat loss is the biggest single cause of #extinction & endangered species—it makes sense to address it,"Ctr for Biological Diversity govt affairs dir Brett Hartl said. He called efforts to deny that cause "callous & reckless."

Geyersche Binge im Laternenschein
🇩🇪 Seit 1395/1400 fand am Geyersberg vor allem der Abbau von Zinn, Silber und Kupfer statt. 1704 und 1803 kam es zu zwei Zusammenbrüche des Bergwerks, woraufhin dieses geschlossen wurde.
Die Binge ist stellenweise bis zu 60 Meter tief und wurde hier von einer Anhöhe aus Richtung Süden fotografiert.

🇬🇧 Since 1395/1400, tin, silver and copper have been mined at Geyersberg. In 1704 and 1803, the mine collapsed twice and was subsequently closed.
The binge is up to 60 metres deep in places and was photographed here from a hill to the south.

Saviez-vous qu'une entité indépendante du gouvernement était chargée de l'évaluation environnementale des plans, programmes et projets d'aménagement du territoire ? Et que ses avis, bien documentés, étaient publics ? 👀 1/

Today In Labor History April 8, 1864: The 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, banning chattel slavery. However, it permitted a continuation of wage slavery and the forced labor of convicts without pay. And on this date in 1911, 128 convict miners, mostly African-Americans jailed for minor offenses, were killed by a massive explosion at the Banner coalmine near Birmingham, Alabama. While the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, which occurred just two weeks earlier, elicited massive public attention and support for the plight of immigrant women working in sweatshop conditions, the Banner explosion garnered almost no public sympathy, probably due to racism and the fact that they were prisoners.
