Female Belted Kingfisher from yesterday. Most of the Eagles are gone, didn't see much if anything except this Kingfisher who followed me down river a ways. #birds #nature

Having a hard time understanding why Elon Musk thinks its a good odea to degrade NOAA’s ability to give us lifesaving early warnings for Hurricanes & Tornadoes. www.axios.com/2025/03/03/d...

Trump is canceling aid because someone dared to stand up to him? What a whiney weak little boy. And everyone making an excuse for this is a beta. Children

Vermonters making good trouble.

Whoaaaaa

I keep returning to Chad- 13 times so far Climate crisis hit Africa hard. In some areas it hasn’t rained for years. Crops wont grow. Ppl starve. Babies die first. If an aid group comes, they bring life saving nutrients & medicines. Now USAid is shuttered, countless children will die

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt, Four Freedoms Speech, January 1941

In addition to being wrong, this is against our own self-interest. If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine, they will simply continue to advance. Increasingly, that seems to be the point: Trump/Musk/Vance are aligned with Putin's interests & not ours.

Baldwin: "Trump a little over a week ago said on Fox News, 'I'm not touching Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.' And he said it multiple times. The next morning he endorsed the Republican House budget which calls for nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid."

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, what, you had to bring a guy from the Russian state media in to watch you try and beat up Zelenskyy—and you thought that would make you look good? It made you look like the crook you are. Zelenskyy is a man that you will never be; he’s a genuine hero.

Last week’s staged disrespect of Zelenskyy was a pretext for Donald Trump’s effort to appease Vladimir Putin. Abandoning allies, bowing down to dictators, and putting democracy at risk – all to what end? This isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.

In my essay today, I put a Russian flag over the White House. Clearly, Trump has already hoisted a white surrender flag. Just disgraceful. www.americaamerica.news/p/as-trump-w...

Rep. Jim Himes: Zelenskyy is watching 70,000 dead Ukrainians. Missiles are slamming into hospitals. This is what he’s seeing, and he comes to the Oval Office, and a reporter asks him why he’s not wearing a suit. And the effing VP wants him to say thank you…

THREAD. Look what they’ve done. @PresidentBarbie.bsky.social I remember reading in 2006 that 2nd Lt. Perez had been killed. I thought “this was our future President, stolen by this unnecessary war.” I have never forgotten her. This photo is from the exhibit at NMAAHC. She will never be erased.

He is incompetent

Dear universities, scientists, lawyers, farmers, workers, artists, doctors... Being silent won't protect you.

If you ever worked for a federal agency that DOGE has on the chopping block, especially the lesser known ones, please tell us about the work they do on behalf of the American people. We need to understand what is being lost.

Two market meltdowns. One common denominator.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Amy Berman Jackson has been on a tear for much of this hearing on CFPB dismantling. She's concerned the agency will be "choked out of existence before I get to rule on the merits." She wants an evidentiary hearing.

This is the Dems secret weapon. Funny !!!

The putrid connections between great wealth and great power are now on display for all to see. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/feb/27/america-billionaires-bezos-zuckerberg-musk

Traits of a psychopath

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?

Wyden on why he's not attending Trump's speech tomorrow and instead is hosting a town hall: "We're not interested in hearing about the Donald Trump alternate reality."

Okay, nerds, buckle in! It's time for some SCIENCE. Back in the late 1960s, a scientist got some government funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Atomic Energy Commission to look for interesting bacteria living in extreme environments. 1/x

Just when I think I’ve worked with the most unprofessional models in this industry we hit a new low - this lady didn’t even bother wearing matching toe beans to the shoot. I mean… ???

He says and does incredibly reckless things every single day and republicans spend the rest of the day walking it to a less crazy place. This is not governance. It's not leadership. It's dancing to the whims of a madman.

If this is true, then Elon is taking the third rail of American politics and shoving it down Trump’s throat.

In a month Trump has taken projected GDP GROWTH of 2.5% and turned it into a decline of -2.8. Folks that’s almost 5 points!!! We’re all gonna be broke.

This is sketchy as hell

Per @politicalwire.com Trump Nat'l Security Advisor Mike Waltz said “What we need to hear from President Zelensky is that he has regret for what happened, he’s ready to sign this mineral deal & that he’s ready to engage in peace talks. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.” I certainly think it is.

The rest of the entire world vs MAGA

Musk and Trump should have to face the hardworking Park Rangers they sacked. I’m bringing Kate, who was unjustly fired from northern Minnesota’s Voyageurs National Park, to the State of the Union.

My aunt is also a vet.

My 90 year old aunt just asked me if I plan on watching the STATE OF LIES SPEECH tomorrow. She’s not wrong, is she….

Exactly #traitortrump #impeachtrump

It was true then and it’s true now. Anyone who can’t see it is willfully blind and is in the cult.

Here is a better copy of the letter. 😊🦋

1938, British PM Chamberlain makes deal with Hitler who guarantees no war — 11 months before WWII

Macron: “But we must not forget one point—if anyone is playing the Third World War, it is Vladimir Putin. He was the one who started the war three years ago, and he brought 10,000 North Korean soldiers to European soil.”
