Our mural by Darcy Gray is finished! She's amazing! You can check out her art at Range Design Studio. www.rangedesignstudio.com

Some highlights from my morning walk.

I couldn't name it to a protest today, so I held my own. #handsoff

This is incredible. 😂

Thank you @booker.senate.gov ! You're show of resistance is a spark for us all!

It's trillium season in the PNW!

So important! Stay focused.

I'm so excited to have the fabulous Darcie Gray paint an ancient forest mural on our shop building! WA. #artist #outdoorart www.rangedesignstudio.com

Happy World Bear Day! My fingers are crossed that I get to see her with new cubs this spring! 🐻🤞❤️ #worldbearday

I went seeking salamanders. #nature

I'm in tourism, and for 20 years, we've welcomed people from all over the world to tour Alaska with us. Trump's policies once again are hurting our economy, our friendships, and our reputation.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

I enjoyed a day of making photographs at Semiahmoo to take my mind off current events. There's beauty out there. Don't forget to stop and appreciate it.

I have no words to express how ugly a move this is. How many peoples lives were saved by the Navajo?

I strongly suspect this recent piece from Prof. David Knoll is about to be come extremely relevant and widely read. "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there."

THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER. TOMORROW MORNING: everyone MUST call en masse. Do you have a recurring donation to your Democratic Senator? PULL IT IF THEY ARE VOTING YES. We can still fight back!!

The House GOP's CR gives Trump & Musk a blank check to steal YOUR taxpayer dollars. I won't vote to help two billionaires pick winners & losers.   I spoke on the Senate floor about exactly why I'm voting NO—let's pass my bill to prevent a shutdown ASAP.

I'm honored to have my reflections of guiding people in SE Alaska published in AdventuresNW Magazine. Reading it in print today resets my resolve to protect our National Forests from the Trump Administration’s wholesale greed and destruction of our public lands. www.adventuresnw.com/moss-and-mis...

NOAA and the CG work closely together, and NOAA's mission and duties are things that directly impact the USCG's work. We're better together, and I know these illegal terminations will affect NOAA and the CG in their ability to support US residents.

This is so fucking tragic. Today Europe is completely united behind Ukraine and the cause of freedom. Meanwhile the United States is sitting this one out along with Russia and Iran. Make it make sense.

I have no words for what happened today. Only embarrassment for my county. I stand with Ukraine.

This seems like a bad idea.

Two billionaires who have no clue what NOAA does and why it matters are laying off weather forecasters. Our whole economy hinges on the weather. Meteorologists support wildland firefighters. They help planes & ships navigate. This is going to cost lives and property.

This is a black mark on our history. I'm sorry, Ukraine, you deserve better. 🇺🇦

Recovering the galley, saloon,and pilothouse cushion is one of the many winter projects going on the David B as we get ready for our 20th season.

I go into nature to ask questions. Sometimes, I find answers.

Mornings in the Chuckanuts

So great to see some many Bellinghamsters standing up for democracy and America today. 🇺🇸 ❤️

Thinking about the places I take people and wondering how access to our public lands will be affected by all this fuckery.

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)

We should not be cutting health care for working families to deliver massive tax breaks for billionaires. Repost if you agree.

Heading back to the sea!

Do I have this right? Elon Musk - the guy in charge of preventing wasteful spending - dropped $40M on a Super Bowl ad? We could permanently house 800 homeless veterans for $40M. Or provide five million meals to the hungry. Or replace lead pipes in 8,500 homes.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday!

I've always felt lucky that I live and work in places of beauty. It's in the woods or on the water where I feel the most clear-headed and where I go to find my resolve.
