NO IMMUNITY FOR POISON PUSHERS. Sign the petition: tinyurl.com/StopBayerMonsanto

Breaking News: Victory! You did it! WE ALL did it! Section 453, a provision in Appropriations Bill Fiscal Year 2026 that would have given the pesticide industry immunity from pesticide-harm lawsuits, has been removed due to public pressure.

Last year, 33 U.S. Representatives on the House Appropriations Committee, at the behest of Bayer-Monsanto, threw all Americans under the bus. They voted to advance Appropriations Bill Fiscal Year 2026, which included a dangerous provision—Section 453—giving Bayer and the pesticide industry immunity from lawsuits when their poison products cause harm. We launched a sustained campaign against the “Bayer-Monsanto Protection Act on Steroids” throughout last year, along with our other nonprofit allies. You, along with tens of thousands of our other supporters, and Americans across the country, took action. And it paid off.

We should celebrate this victory. But the fight is far from over. Bayer has more tricks up its sleeve. And unfortunately, there are still many politicians paid to do Bayer’s bidding. Put the White House and our U.S. Representatives and Senators on notice. Let them know that we are watching their every vote. Should legislators choose to grant these corrupt corporations immunity against America’s will, we will make sure that We the People hold them to account—drain the swamp and VOTE THEM OUT. tinyurl.com/StopBayerMonsanto

🌨️ The Alaskan Wood Frog – Nature’s Frozen Wonder

Every winter, the Alaskan wood frog performs one of the most extraordinary survival feats in the animal kingdom.

As temperatures plummet, this small frog doesn’t burrow deep underground or seek shelter. Instead, it allows itself to freeze completely.
Its heart stops beating, lungs cease breathing, and brain activity halts—by all scientific definitions, it’s dead.

But it’s not.

Thanks to a natural antifreeze trick, it floods its cells with glucose, preventing ice from forming inside them. This sugary shield protects its vital organs while the rest of its body freezes solid.

When spring returns and temperatures rise, the frog thaws out—its heart starts beating again, its brain reactivates, and within hours, it’s hopping around like nothing ever happened.

A real-life resurrection… courtesy of evolution.

🌲 The World’s Oldest Tree — OLD TJIKKO (9550 years old!)

Deep in the wilderness of Fulufjället Mountain, Sweden, stands a lone Norway Spruce named Old Tjikko — an ancient survivor that began its life over 9,550 years ago, shortly after the last Ice Age ended. ❄️🌍

Discovered by geologist Leif Kullman in 2004, Old Tjikko holds the title of the oldest known living clonal tree on Earth.
While its visible trunk is a few centuries old (due to cycles of dieback and regrowth), its root system has persisted since around 7550 BC — long before the construction of the pyramids, the rise of civilizations, and even the invention of writing!

Just imagine what this ancient tree has witnessed:

🌊 Rising and falling sea levels
🐾 The migration of countless species
🏞️ The changing of entire ecosystems
🌦️ Millennia of storms, winters, and summers

Old Tjikko is a silent storyteller — a living testament to the power of resilience, adaptation, and nature’s deep time.

In a rapidly changing world, this ancient spruce reminds us of the enduring beauty and fragility of our planet. 🌍💚

If it could speak… what stories would it tell?
