Happy Earth Day! We will never stop fighting to preserve and protect America’s natural resources.

Our natural environment is among our greatest heirlooms – and one of our greatest responsibilities. Earth Day is a celebration of our world’s beauty but it’s also a reminder that we only get one Earth. So let’s protect it.

Pronghorn have an interesting warning system. They fluff up the hair on their butt kinda like a white tail deer will lift his tail when he's excited or afraid and wants to warn others of danger. First photo, the young one was unsure about my presence but the other was old enough to not care.

We know.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

A Delta flight was evacuated in Orlando because yet another plane was on fire. Does Sean Duffy have anything at all to say?

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

It is psychotic that the President of the United States wears a hat that says “I WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!”

At a time when moral leadership has been in short supply in the world — when authoritarians and neofascists are pushing us into darkness — Pope Francis pointed toward the light. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-conscience-of-the-world

All we have to do to get Trump to fire Hegseth is to find a way that he can blame Biden for it.

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

Holy moly! This isn’t wink-wink nudge nudge flirting with trutherism, it’s the whole thing. It was probably inevitable we ended up here.

National security clearances? Overrated. Now you too can stay in the loop—thanks to Pete Hegseth’s Friends & Family Plan! youtube.com/shorts/-CKXq...

RIP Pope Francis! Being a kind, decent & forward thinking man makes for a great Pope & a positive representation for Catholicism. The world just got dimmer & more leaderless! #RIPPopeFrancis #BlueCrew #FBR #Resistance

Um okay

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...

I’m going to wildly speculate that Noem took that cash off an immigrant during one of those ICE raids and pocketed it.
