I love it here.

Yes. This really happened. They used a group chat to plan strikes on a foreign country. No, Signal is not an authorized platform for national security information.

This primrose was a cutting from my great-great grandmother’s plant which is today over 100 years old ❤️

Several of our national parks protect sacred Ancient Puebloan ruins. These spaces tell the stories of the ruins and the accompanying rich cultural history of many Indigenous people. Square Tower, Mesa Verde National Park, CO #nationalparks #protectourparks #publiclands #ruins

Here’s the thing, fuckface — we knew you were going to try this shit, but you can’t “void” another president’s pardons. The Constitution is extremely clear on this, you traitorous piece of shit.

101 of these men had no criminal records at all. This is fascism.

they look at russia — a stagnant backwater — with envy

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

Spring #Illinois #spring some kind of evergreen, tulip, crocus, Columbine

I’m inclined to agree.

Go Sweden! 🇸🇪

guys love to say “dude my balatro run last night was insane” then show you a screenshot like this

Not that the words mean much to begin with, but this is just idiotic. Then again, making that list could be seen as something of an honor.

It’s beautiful here. #spring #illinois #ecosystem #creek

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

Freaky clouds yesterday.

The Trump administration plans to revoke the legal status of approximately 240,000 Ukrainians who arrived in the U.S. after Russia’s full-scale invasion, Reuters reports.

For just a little while I got to call this place home. Now I realize that while it was amazing as an experience, any military kid or worker is only there because of imperialism. I’m sad that is the case, but I’m thankful for the chance to get to know the islands and connect with the natural world.

Any geology or fossil experts? Found in a creek in east central Illinois. I think it’s a crinoid calyx, but would love a more educated opinion. #fossil #geology #ecology #environment #naturalhistory

How it started/How it's going

Groceries are more expensive, air travel is less safe, infectious diseases are raging and inflation is higher than it’s been in months, but at least Trump was able to strong-arm a sovereign nation into releasing a couple of psychopathic sex traffickers. At least there’s that.

I had two helpers on my eco walk today.

The only celebrities in my life today, and their fan club is quite small. Cow cat disapproves of working on a beautiful day and snowshoe just wants scritches and catnip.

20 years ago a celebrity came to my job in Saratoga Springs. He told me I had cool hair and he was in town shooting a movie with Robert Penn. As a John Hughes fan via my parents, it was really cool to get to meet Anthony Michael Hall, even just for a minute. He was very nice.

Exclusive: BP's chief executive will scrap a target to increase renewable generation 20-fold by 2030, returning the focus to fossil fuels, as part of a strategy shift announced to tackle investor concerns over earnings, two sources told Reuters reut.rs/43tdVWX

They grow up so fast

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Found this under the sofa today 🧐

A brief photo essay of the forest of Phillippe Creek.

I have friends who are genuinely confused when I point out to them that being politically engaged is a luxury item lots of folks don't invest time or money into. They don't think deeply about politics until and unless it directly affects them. It's an alien thought (and I get it!), but it's true.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Donald Trump's broad assertions of power appear to be advancing an aggressive version of a legal doctrine called the 'unitary executive' theory that envisions vast executive authority for a president, setting up potential US Supreme Court showdowns reut.rs/4jYTK8L

U.S. inflation accelerated last month as the cost of groceries, gasoline and rents rose, a disappointment for families and businesses struggling with higher costs and likely underscoring the Federal Reserve’s resolve to delay further interest rate cuts. to.pbs.org/41g5XyU
