See in my neighborhood today.

A new study details the evolutionary change of Anna's Hummingbirds, finding their beaks have grown longer and more tapered to get the most from common feeders.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Apathy is the enemy

Seen online: "BABA: Buy Anything But American." A global boycott is brewing.

Thanks to President Trump, we are finally cleansing our country of … kidney-transplant specialists who “fly through the night to pick up donated organs before performing emergency surgery” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/u...

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I wonder if all those evangelicals who voted for Trump had the slightest idea of the gut-punch their vote would deliver to World Vision, Church World Service, Global Relief and similar respected relief agencies. sojo.net/articles/new...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

For no particular reason, what the Commonwealth of Virginia thinks about kings.

I’m sure “DOGE” will be all over this.. truthout.org/articles/tes...

The hiring of thousands of federal firefighters has stalled amid a governmentwide freeze ordered by President Trump, just as agencies were beginning to ramp up staffing for the summer wildfire season, according to a firefighters’ union.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

I see the Democratic weather machine is doing great work again, forcing that inauguration inside. Well done, climate controllers.

Just joined up. Is this microphone on?

It’s funny Zuck says “I started building social media to give people a voice” when in fact, he started building social media to publicly rate the hotness of undergrads.

A fair question.

Good morning, Bluesky Friends! 🗽💙 🌊

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

His diplomatic skills are really YUGE! apnews.com/article/cana...

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

It’s nice to know SOMEONE likes the President-elect’s cabinet picks. www.thedailybeast.com/the-kremlin-...

Religious Studies profs, researchers: Who are the so-called "religious studies experts" who wrote the new Texas Bluebonnet religion curriculum for public schools? I can't find the authors' names anywhere. #AAR

For as long as I live, I will never understand how anyone could have chosen Trump over this.

RIP, Tony

They are offsetting the cost of lower taxes for billionaires by slashing programs for the most needy. So much for Christian charity toward the poor.

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true. You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into. We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.
