somehow each year I tend to forget just how shockingly, stunningly beautiful spring in the northwest is. #nature #naturephotography #photography #mountains #skagitvalley #tulips #spring #springphotography #pacificnorthwest #pnw #washingtonstate #blooming #flowers

Flower season commences in the Pacific Northwest! #nature #naturephotography #photography #mountains #skagitvalley #tulips #spring #springphotography #pacificnorthwest #pnw #washingtonstate #blooming #flowers

I care not about your tarriffs…

Lately spring has been all about BIRDS! And pink. #nature #naturephotography #photography #birds #birdphotography #spring #springphotography #pacificnorthwest #pnw #washingtonstate #flowers #blooming #hummingbirds #herons #heronphotography #greatblueheron

Early spring in the Pacific Northwest! #nature #naturephotography #photography #mountains #skagitvalley #daffodils #spring #springphotography #pacificnorthwest #pnw #washingtonstate

Per @johnleguizamo.bsky.social: “Medicaid is called by different names in different states! Stay awake America you lose everything you rely on!”

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I believe!

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

NOBODY ELECTED ELON.

No one elected Elon Musk. As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences. We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

As we begin the celebration of Black History Month, I am thinking of those who stood up, spoke out, and took action when they saw injustices in the world – people like my friend, John Lewis. Carrying that spirit and their legacy with me this month and always.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

Musk and his allies are ransacking the federal treasury, gaining access to closely guarded payment systems that disburse trillions of dollars and hold massive amounts of incredibly sensitive information—including Social Security numbers. Just a terrifying development. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans. Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to keep taxpayer dollars flowing to 22 Democratic-leaning states for all congressionally approved government programs.

@thecivilservant.bsky.social youtu.be/mL0crkf5Dzw?... AMERICA, HEED THIS WARNING!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I know today was difficult. I understand you’re tired baby. So tired. You’ve said wtf more times in 24 hrs than you’ve said your whole life. 😮‍💨 But you can’t quit now. People need your help. You can’t accept this chaos & hatred as normal. Sit beside me, rest & get your energy back.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Trump is calling any world view that goes against his "propaganda" and "radical indoctrination", while at the same time building a racist and transphobic state that is promoting "patriotic education". This is pure #fascism. (Link to transphobic & racist executive order.) www.whitehouse.gov/p...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Trump’s America.

You still got it 🩷

This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.
 We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

people are losing their right to exist but at least groceries are more expensive

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I’ve been stitching my little heart out (pun intended) the last two weeks 💕 #embroidery #artist

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

“Make good trouble.” ~ John Lewis

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯
