Tonight we’ll break it all down β the history of the God Squad, what this vote actually does, which species are most at risk, and what legal challenges are underway. This is one of the most alarming wildlife decisions in decades. You need to know about it.
Trump Just Used the “God Squad” β Here’s What It Means
Yesterday, March 31st, the Trump administration made history in the worst possible way. For the first time in over 30 years, they convened the Endangered Species Committee β nicknamed the “God Squad” β and voted unanimously to strip Endangered Species Act protections from the entire Gulf of Mexico oil and gas industry.β οΈ What Is the God Squad?
A Cabinet panel with the power to condemn species to extinction
Created by Congress in 1978, the God Squad is a panel of six high-ranking federal officials who can grant exemptions to the Endangered Species Act β even if it means a species goes extinct. Before yesterday, they had only voted twice in nearly 50 years. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invoked “national security” and the ongoing Iran conflict to justify removing protections for Gulf wildlife.π ~51 Rice’s whales left on Earth

π¨ BREAKING: Wolves Elected to WI State Legislature
In a stunning upset, a pack of gray wolves from the swept three state senate seats last night after running on a bold platform of “less hunting, more howling.” Their campaign slogan: “We’ve been managing this ecosystem for centuries β maybe it’s our turn.” Incumbent senators reported feeling “watched” throughout the campaign season. Voter turnout in forested precincts was unusually high. The incoming legislators have declined all interview requests, citing a prior commitment to a deer chase. π April Fools! β Wolves remain unelected. But honestly? Given yesterday’s God Squad news, we could use the representation. πΊ
All jokes aside β wildlife need advocates in every room of power. That’s why YOUR voice (and your donation) matters so much. See you tonight.
