Um.... what?! Doug Burgum + DOI decided to celebrate #EndangeredSpeciesDay by asking the public to suggest environmental rules to ax. The request comes as the Trump admin is prioritizing energy + deregulation at the expense of the American public + American wildlife. ⬇️ www.doi.gov/pressrelease...

This bird is trying to break into my house

While they are indeed common, I really love the Common Tody-Flycatchers. They constantly make their little chip calls and they're so tiny and bright! They also love to build nests right near houses, probably because there are fewer predators around humans. This was at @tapirvalley.bsky.social #birds

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

Little pup, big dreams ❤️

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

The government is slashing public health jobs, gutting vaccine programs, and fueling a measles comeback. This is not reform—it’s sabotage. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

Inhale the positive 🐺

The whole world wondering why Americans let an unelected-ketamine-filled-fanatic-billionaire at the Wisconsin rally to influence the state Supreme Court election this Tuesday #TheWhiteLotus #Wisconsin

Tragic, infuriating news. Mexican gray wolf Ella, whose travels captivated a nation just last week, was found dead in New Mexico. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has indicated that the cause of Ella’s death is under investigation.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

27 years ago today, Mexican gray wolves were reintroduced to the wilds of the Southwest - their ancestral home. Imagine the excitement and curiosity they must have felt, looking at a wide expanse of land with no end in sight. It’s an experience every lobo deserves 🐺 More: nywolf.org/2025/03/mexi...

Remember: The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

FRIDAY FACE! 😃

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Tragic. A male wolf who was released from British Columbia into Colorado earlier this year was shot and killed in Wyoming last weekend. Wolves are explorers by nature, and it's likely that he traveled from his release site in search of something - a mate? New territory? Home?

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Wolves have value in and of themselves, but in a world where that intrinsic value might not be enough to sway public opinion, it's important to highlight the ecological and economic impacts of wolves. And boy, can wolves shape an economy for the better!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.

Something to think about

Somebody somewhere Needs flowers tonight

Last year, NC received $25 million from the US Dept. of Transportation to build underpasses on Highway 64 - an announcement that was widely celebrated. Vehicle collisions are a leading threat to critically endangered Red Wolves, + underpasses are seen as a potential solution.

Fighting for a world with more howls 🐺

Dear Monday... THBPBPTHPT!

As Orwell predicted.

10 March 1922 | A Czech Jew, Kurt Fantl, was born in Karlovy Vary. He was deported to #Auschwitz from the Theresienstadt ghetto on 29 September 1944. He perished in Dachau on 23 February 1945.

GM! 🙂

I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

Too cute to be endangered 🐺 #SaveMexicanGrayWolves

RITCHIE TORRES: What Republicans are doing is a cruel attack on the most vulnerable people in our society.

The best howls are shared with loved ones 🐺

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are messing with your Medicare benefits. Democrats passed a law to finally let Medicare negotiate with Big Pharma for lower prices. Now Trump and Musk laid off the negotiators. That means higher drug costs for you. Nothing efficient about that.
