Wow, talk about finding a rarity! This bird is a long way from home!

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Copycats! 😂🥰🐈

Texas Rep. Introduces The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act preventing 69 million married women from being able to register to vote. It requires a birth certificate that matches their current name, which is a problem for women who changed their legal name when they got married

The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014. This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.* #resist

Every paragraph here is worth an article, if not a book. It is all horrifying. February 6, 2025 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social : “They are basically saying Congress doesn’t matter… Article 1 doesn’t matter… they can stop spending money for public schools… Medicare… social security… this is literally their theory.”

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

None of this shit is funny. Seriously, I hope you all know they are going to crash our economy deliberately. They want to devalue the US dollar so they can use our federal reserve to "invest" in Bitcoin. We are more fkd than anyone realizes. Stop buying 💩 & save your $.

We trapped this 32 yo male Golden Eagle banded back in Oct 1992 in Ashfield, PA. He is a force of nature coming at a live turkey in our bow nets. Now he has a GPS transmitter that is going to show us his migration and hopefully how much longer he lives! #womeninraptorresearch #birds #womeninSTEM 🪶🧪

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

It’s not just that the buy-out won’t be honored; it can’t be honored. They have neither authority nor appropriations to honor the promise. “Fraud in the inducement.”

Every time I see a sad cat I think about that “scientist” who claimed that cats don’t have the facial muscles to express emotion.

Canada no longer trusts the US, the boycott against US products continues to grow. Billions in losses expected for the fascists to the south.

this was the most cooperative belted kingfisher i had ever seen. She fished a few times, then hung out above the pier for awhile softly rattling. #Birds #Photography #Nature

Just beautiful

Heads up for the Weather Community! You can now find NOAA (@noaa.gov), NOAA Climate (@climate.noaa.gov) & NWS HQ (@nws.noaa.gov; still being set up) on Bluesky!

Now is a great time to read WIRED magazine’s 2015 feature story, “The Untold Story of Silk Road.” There were good reasons why Ross Ulbricht was serving a double life sentence. www.wired.com/2015/04/silk...

Something to think about with the Ross Ulbricht pardon. The feds are still sitting on $6.5 billion in bitcoin seized from silk road. If Trump gives it back to Ulbricht, he could easily pay back Trump by trading it for Trump coin. A potential bribe of millions or billions of dollars for a pardon.

Are there any Black and Brown folks on this app that enjoy nature and birds? I’m really struggling to find ya’ll on here. Algorithm, please HELP! 🙏🏾

Hey, Canada 🇨🇦 👋 Your weather got out, and it's at my house...can you come get it?

Was crypto invented *specifically* to fleece idiots of their life savings or is that just a little side benefit?

Instead of the usual “have a nice day,” the checker at Trader Joe’s just told me “go conquer the day.” So I guess that’s my plan now.

LOOKING BACK: This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. News stopped bring a regulated public service....

Japan's Akatsuki spacecraft takes the clearest picture of Venus ever made

He cheated. He did not win the election. And he’s bragging about it, because Rump thinks cheating is smart - it’s outwitting the system. There will never be a fair election again, he and his friends will see to it.

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.

The hypocrisy never ends.

i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are
