Moments from the field with Justin Robinson… This tune is “Ryestraw” from our new album “What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow.” Listen now: giddensrobinson.lnk.to/BlackbirdCrow

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday Be your best self—not the loudest, not the fastest, just the truest. That’s where your power lives

Night night sweet dreamies Alone doesn’t mean abandoned. It means listening. In solitude, Healing isn’t loud. It’s the quiet return to yourself

And a 90 million dollar parade …. Republicans?????? Crickets‼️

Honey bees are domesticated animals introduced from Europe — and aren't endangered, unlike many of North America's over 3600 species of native bees. Honey bees crowd out native bees from food & spread diseases to them. Instead of adding another hive, plant native flowers! xerces.org/blog/want-to...

Fighting antisemitism by increasing it, because this was never about antisemitism

Sheer luck to freeze this moment where both hummingbirds are both sharp in the same frame I’ve had my share of photos with two or more birds in the same frame. Even a few lucky enough to have two different species interacting This Allen’s and Anna’s hummingbird being territorial is a good one 📷🪶

Anthrium on kitchen table in Honokaa with a suprise chrysalis! Saw monarch wing developing so put outside. Next morning the butterfly emerged & flew into the clear clean Honokaa breeze.

I couldn't stop saying "wow!" but then again who could when you see hummingbirds so close for the first time! Alambi Reserve, Ecuador 🌿 #birds #hummingbird #ecuador

O Lord, grant us a quiet night and a peaceful end. #Compline prayers for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis and all the faithful departed. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.

Prices are too high. People are worried about losing their jobs. Retirement is further out of reach for too many. Trump and Republicans are making things worse. Don’t just take House Democrats’ word for it. Here’s what a constituent wrote.

Pope Francis called President Trump’s family separation policy “cruelty of the highest form” www.americamagazine.org/politics-soc...

May God welcome Pope Francis to eternal life.

I'm a Jewish guy who tries my best to practice Zen and I am really sad about Pope Francis. He was a good man in a time when we need more.

This is so amazing! 🌱

Pope Francis was an exceptional leader who, through his work, reminded us that the poorest and most marginalized among us are closest to God. His legacy of humility, compassion and stewardship will continue to inspire people of all faiths. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

I best remember the late Pope Francis for this: "Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity. They are children, women, and men who leave or are forced to leave their homes for various reasons, who share a legitimate desire for knowing and having, but above all for being more."

Pope Francis has passed.

Francis's biographer said he combined two qualities rarely seen together: "the political genius of a charismatic leader" and "the holiness of a desert saint."

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Jasmine Crockett: ''I’m glad the Supreme Court stepped in and stopped that plane from taking off last night. Because deporting folks with no criminal record and no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. You can’t scream 'law and order' while breaking the law at every turn.''

Peace and love among our world. You only need to look

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

like a reverse bat signal

soooo sneaky

My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of these servicemembers—just tragic news. I will be seeking more information from DoD about the circumstances of these deaths and what can be done to prevent them in the future.

Growing up, my family depended on food stamps. Today, millions rely on SNAP to get a square meal. With their budget, Republicans are proposing $12 billion in cuts to SNAP. Let's call this what it is: They're taking food out of children's mouths to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back. Every single Republican blocked it. Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

Deep respect to Sen. Tammy Duckworth for saying what too many won’t: Republicans have shown ZERO resistance to Trump & Musk’s brutal agenda—jacking up costs, firing thousands of veterans, and threatening to gut Medicaid & Social Security. If they cared, they’d grow a spine. @duckworth.senate.gov
