A fan of *all* the wingy-thingies, especially raptors. Also 4-legged friends (wild & domestic) & creatures of the sea & desert. I was @bruisermom in a former life. 😻

1/2 D Trump, P Hegseth, E Musk among them, have: -Around nine marriages (count varies) -Multiple out-of-wedlock children; -Multiple sexual-misconduct accusations, cash settlements, at least one jury verdict; -Zero time in uniform (Trump, Musk). Iraq/Afgh for Hegseth. Yesterday they fired ....

One of these men got his job as chairman of the joint chiefs based entirely on the color of his skin. It's not the one on the left.

Happy Friday everyone! Here's a coyote out for a walk on a cold winter's day. This shot was actually taken from the opposite side of a freeway as the coyote wandered along the edge of a nearby Provincial Park. #wildlife #coyote

one of the weirder things conservatives are claiming right now is that it never makes the news when private sector workers are laid off

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

Who’s gonna read the 2,300,000 replies lmao.

I spend a lot of time in National Parks. I STAND WITH THE RANGERS, WORKERS AND VOLUNTEERS! And all who lost their jobs who were doing what they loved! #scape #landscape #tetons #nationalparks #photography

Good morning! 🪶

This sunflower shot is so good, I think it's flowers in the window time! Here's a lily I shot on a cold and misty upper Kula morning at Wendy's old place. :)

Hello, Blue Sky! For my first post, I wanted to wish everyone as much peace as a sleeping polar bear in summer time 💜

Good morning! 🪶

Yes, please.

Patrick Stewart volunteers at Wags and Walks, a dog rescue in Los Angeles. He regularly fosters dogs while they are waiting to be adopted. Here are some of the dogs who have benefited from Sir Patrick Stewart's love and care.

Be clear about what you are seeing. The firing of these senior officers has nothing to do with competence. This is creating an oath of loyal by the Armed Forces to the Leader. We face an uncertain future.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

This magnificent Red-shouldered Hawk LANDED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and perched there looking for a meal EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY 20 FEET AWAY!! I am still stunned and thrilled. And also chilled! #birds 🌿

Please proceed to the cashier’s window to collect your winnings. Thank you and congratulations on your successful wager

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

What a petty little bitch. It must be a requirement for the Trump DoJ.

Huh www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Dylan from Creative Services wants you to know that he is working to get this pueo (Hawaiian owl) plush to you ASAP. And yes, it likes the view from up there. #pueo #hawaiianowl #pueoplush #hawaiianowlplush 🦉

Phil when he arrived at Northeast Equine Sanctuary vs Now. Yes, Phil is not a horse. He and his brother pulled an oxen cart for 16 years & when they were too old to pull, they were going to be sent to slaughter. Not even a humane euthanasia by a vet. But a horse sanctuary stepped in to save them.

BREAKING: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will NOT allow the Trump admin to end birthright citizenship for certain children of immigrants.

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

AGAIN: If they actually cared about the deficit they wouldn’t also be cutting trillions in taxes for the rich. They think we are all very dumb.
