Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Federal Worker Spent Entire Week Golfing

A group of frustrated Yosemite National Park staffers hoping to draw attention to the federal government’s sweeping workforce cuts hung an upside-down American flag Saturday thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

“To The Stars” Yosemite National Park, California I don’t do a lot of night sky landscapes but this was one of my favorites. One of my dear friends got a print of this before she passed away. She said it was her favorite. #bluesky #landscape #photography #nightsky #stars

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

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

This is how it’s done.

“Kindness is seen as a weakness, but it's a strength, both in its ability to care for other and in its recognition of the ways we're all connected. I wish you the fortress in comfort, the kinship in kindness, and the courage in encouragement, in both what you give and what you receive.”

Here are some faint northern lights. They have cool colours, though. It was -30 outside when I took this shot. Have a good weekend, everybody! #northernlights #nature #canada #aurora #boreal

Time for a little video - waves endlessly crashing against basalt columns cliffs at Arnarstapi - hours of fun :) (Hope the resolution isn't ruined, and may need a click!) #Iceland #iPhone15Pro

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age and same height, but she can sing better. We also share the same values, including that every child should have the chance to dream big and succeed. Indiana Republicans should reverse these cuts. www.huffpost.com/entry/indian...

This 1940 map was created by a radical utopian movement that wanted to expand America to include Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Panama canal. They wanted efficiency-minded engineers to run everything. Sound familiar? From Cornell University Library: digital.library.cornell.edu/catalog/ss:3...

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.
