Spotted the first Northern Flicker woodpecker in our yard today - it was hunting for bugs in the ground while light snow was falling. (This photo from April ‘24)

In early spring, the male Pileated Woodpecker excavates a large nest hole in a dead tree. I was very happy to run across this walking in Tofte today! I only had my iPhone so the quality isn’t great. If he attracts a female, the two of them will finish excavating the nest cavity.

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

This is devastating to rural community radio. My station is the only broadcast news source in a region with a huge number of wilderness tourists that rely on our services and signal - not to mention locals. Please call your Senators & protest this clawing back of funds already allocated by Congress!

Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...

Proud that my firm and I are representing Democrats in this fight!💪⚖️🗳️ "As Democrats debate how best to challenge the Trump administration’s rapid expansion of executive power, the lawsuit represents one of the first moments where seemingly every arm of the party is pushing back with one voice."

“A decade into Trump’s authoritarian attack on democracy, pundits still let Trump hijack their attention with the spectacular nature of his speech, willfully helping to disseminate Trump’s most outrageous statements in the form he packaged them up in.” www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/31/t...

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
