It is hard to say goodbye after eight months of living together, but this is how it should be — their true home is in nature.
They are healthy, each weighing over 900 grams. They were treated for fleas and parasites, and we also carried out a “soft release.” For the next few weeks, we will continue to provide food at the release site to give them the best chance to adapt to life in the wild.
Farewell, Maja and Alex. Perhaps we will meet again during your nighttime wanderings. 🦔🌙💚
Why you don't move on a road? it's dangerous.

Oppose Cryptocurrency GENIUS Act - CALL YOUR REPS
The so-called GENIUS Act, S. 1582, or “Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act” aims to establish a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency. While there is a need for sturdy cryptocurrency regulation — multiple U.S. banks collapsed in 2023 due to cryptocurrency deposits and bank runs — this bill misses the mark on sufficient safeguards and will instead endanger our traditional banking system and enable corruption.
This bill will fold cryptocurrencies directly into our traditional banking system. Previously when cryptocurrency markets crashed, they were mostly separate from the financial system, but under the GENIUS Act, in the case of a market crash, banks that become insolvent would be required to pay claims to all stablecoin owners first, and then to other bank customers. Banks would effectively use money from traditional savings and checking accounts to pay their crypto investors’ losses.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) called the bill a “huge giveaway to Big Tech” as it would allow tech companies such as Meta and Twitter/X to create their own digital currencies and compete with the dollar. It would also incentivize them to collect more private financial data from their users.
The bill also does not include provisions that would curb the Trump family’s corrupt use of cryptocurrencies to accept bribes from foreign countries and investors. Trump recently launched their own cryptocurrency company with plans to sell stablecoins.
Experts warn that the GENIUS Act could expose the American financial system to dangerous market fallouts, similar to the subprime housing collapse of 2008. Demand your representatives oppose this risky bill that will endanger the strength and solvency of our banking system.

Act Now for Monarch Butterflies! (URGENT!)
This is a pivotal moment for the survival of monarch butterflies. 🦋 Your voice can make a difference. Please submit a comment in favor of li
The one-of-a-kind monarch butterfly is at risk of becoming extinct. Both the eastern and western populations of the North American migratory monarch have suffered drastic population declines in recent decades due to habitat loss and fragmentation, excessive pesticide use, and climate change. Last month, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced its proposal to list the monarch butterfly as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, which would improve the outlook for the recovery of this beloved pollinator.
Please submit a comment in favor of listing the monarch butterfly as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, to help secure federal support for declining populations of monarchs and their habitats.
Migratory western monarch butterflies reached their lowest point when less than 2,000 monarchs were spotted in 2020, far fewer than the millions recorded in the eighties along the California coast. According to the most recent Species Status Assessment, the probability of extinction for eastern monarchs ranges from 48%-69% within the next 60 years, with a more dire prediction for the western monarch, with a 98-99% probability of extinction. This is why monarch butterflies need your help to receive federal protections as a threatened species, before it’s too late.
The Endangered Species Act is one of our most successful conservation laws, with 99% of listed species avoiding extinction so far. A listing under the Endangered Species Act would bring increased resources, consistency, coordination, and awareness to recover the monarch butterfly in the face of threats including habitat loss, excessive pesticide use, and climate change. A listing will also support the large-scale mobilization of people and resources needed to plant enough native milkweed and nectar habitat to recover the monarch butterfly. Will you take action to get monarch butterflies the help they need to survive?
Monarch butterflies across North America migrate from as far as southern Canada all the way south to California and Mexico. This migration is unique for insects—these butterflies have what can be considered an internal “compass” that points them in the right direction each spring and fall, and a single monarch can travel hundreds, even thousands of miles. But habitat destruction and degradation, excessive pesticide use, and climate change pose increasing existential threats to this remarkable species. It would be unthinkable to live along their migration path and never see another monarch butterfly again.
The Endangered Species Act could provide help for the monarch butterfly’s road to recovery and bolster all the other efforts to safeguard this species. This decision represents a crucial step forward and, coupled with renewed efforts to plant native milkweed and nectar plants while reducing threats, gives us the opportunity to put this magnificent species on the path to recovery. Please speak up for Monarch butterflies today by recommending the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service list them as a threatened species.
This is a pivotal moment for the survival of monarch butterflies. Your voice can make a difference. Thank you for being an advocate for our nation’s wildlife.
