At #CapeHatteras National Seashore in #NorthCarolina, the #Trump admin is set to review, & possibly remove or alter, signs about how #ClimateChange is causing #SeaLevels to rise.

At #Independence National Historical Park in #Philadelphia, the admin will soon decide whether to take down exhibits on the brutality of #slavery.

And at Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in #Florida, Trump ofcls are scrutinizing language about the imprisonment of #NativeAmericans inside the Spanish fortress.

Seeing fewer #fireflies this year? Here’s why, and how you can help.

Fireflies are vulnerable to #ClimateChange and habitat loss. Some simple landscaping tricks and turning off porch lights can make a big difference.

This coverage is made possible through a partnership between #Grist and #BPR, a #PublicRadio station serving western #NorthCarolina.

Katie Myers Regional Reporter, #Appalachia, July 11, 2025

Excerpt: "Basham and Jacobs have a few other tips for helping fireflies thrive. You don’t need to be a scientist to help protect fireflies. In fact, the biggest difference comes from how we care for our own #backyards. Here are a few things Basham and Jacobs recommend:

- Turn off your #PorchLights. Fireflies are incredibly sensitive to #ArtificialLight, and it can confuse them.
- Ditch the manicured lawn and embrace #NativePlants. In addition to being easier to care for, they suit the local environment and conserve water.
- Leave some leaves behind when you rake in the fall. They’re a great place for fireflies to find food, stay cool, and lay eggs.
- Plant shrubs, tufting grasses, and other, large plants. These can shelter fireflies during rainstorms and other severe weather.
- If you spot fireflies, jot down when and where you saw them and add your observations to citizen science databases like iNaturalist, Firefly Watch, or Firefly Atlas to help scientists collect data.

"Even among those who study fireflies, the thrill of spotting them remains magical. Lower has made many excursions to the southern #AppalachianMountains to find the famous, ethereal 'blue ghosts.' Rather than flicker, the insects emit a continuous bluish-green glow. 'You walk into the pitch black woods and at first you can’t really see anything right because your eyes are getting used to the darkness,' Lower said. 'But eventually you start to see all these dim glows.' "

Wow! The city of Carrboro, #NorthCarolina holds 4th Amendment workshops for business owners. They act out scenarios to practice protecting customers and workers from #ICE.

Small local governments and mom and pop shops are stepping up to defend the Constitution.

Your fucking move, billion dollar corporations!

For months now, members of Siembra NC and Make NC Work volunteers have been connecting with business owners across the state to defend the constitutional rights that we ALL have. Trainings like this one that we recently hosted for Town of Carrboro employees help prepare workers to exercise their 4th Amendment Rights in the workplace. Learning the differences between public and private areas, administrative and judicial warrants, and how to develop a protocol for interacting with federal agents are important things to learn in order to exercise your rights. If your workplace is ready to become a 4th Amendment Workplace, go to 4thworkplace.org and sign up. And if you want to join us in recruiting more workplaces, go to siembranc.org/volunteer and let’s make a North Carolina where everyone can feel safe in their community."1,117 likes, 12 comments - siembranc July 18, 2025: "Back in May, Carrboro became the FIRST municipality to proclaim itself a 4th Amendment Workplace.
