Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

Happy #RoseWednesday #BloomScrolling

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

The Downy Woodpecker symbolizes new opportunities, optimism and revitalization. We saw that play out yesterday in NYC’s mayoral primary. #birds #WoodpeckerWednesday #ZohranMamdani

While elites bend the knee to Trump, we're standing strong. We are not afraid — we are the Home of the Brave.

For-profit insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare are defrauding taxpayers out of $80 billion a year. HHS Secretary Kennedy claims he wants to "clean up corruption" while he is doubling taxpayer dollars to these companies. That sounds like the real "waste, fraud, and abuse."

Dipper dance! A fledgling American Dipper practices its new moves. #birds #bird #nature #wildlife

Agreed!

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. #RoseWednesday

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

LOVE THIS

Life continues, amid all the crazy. Happy Monday Bluesky! #nature #naturephotography

A total outrage!

Happy Sunday! Blue Jays are always a treat to observe. #birds

This audience member might have just broken Jon #AfterTheCut

Priorities.

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

It’s refreshing for once to read a news story saying that there’s still some good shit going on somewhere. www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

Im pissed…red line crossed 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 The police fired rubber bullets at Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi while she was reporting live from Los Angeles today. Appalling and unjustified.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

A Trump regime trooper pulls out a weapon and aims it at unarmed US civilians as ICE kidnaps a victim in Memphis

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Edwin’s right (as usual).

Oh you've never heard of piculets before? The mini woodpeckers? Well here ya go- have a Rufous Piculet. Your life is now that much cuter. You're welcome. 📷 Ayuwat Jearwattanakanok, eBird

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Occam’s Razor for the win.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

this is excellent — straight talk from a meteorologist who spells out in clear terms what effect all these senseless cuts are having
