All he's ever wanted is to crash the United States into nothingness.
And acquire more global properties.

And fuck us for not all flooding out into a general strike and shutting this shit down at home.

Oh, so world war III

Something Went Wrong The preliminary injunction was in response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Oregon on behalf of protesters and freelance journalists.

Good news! A federal judge in Oregon has restricted federal officers from using tear gas on ICE protesters after a lawsuit by the ACLU of Oregon.

This is how we defend our rights.
This is how we protect our communities.

Time for other states to follow. #ICEout

Everywhere in the US?

Collecting for a successful nest!

Almost the entire globe hates us and we hate ourselves. This is not a good story that we’re writing for ourselves right now.

Homo sapiens… getting the future they planned for themselves. Such a clever species….

I’ve said since the beginning that they’re not building detention centers solely for “dangerous, illegal immigrants”. They’re building them for anyone who opposes. Do you oppose? They’re building it for you.

And somehow, Gavin Newsom thinks it’s important to just focus on “normalcy”.

Scarlet Tananger - this one, pretty new to the world and wet from melting snow.

A beautiful tribute to Kristi Noem.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Thanks @seba.ilabaca

I think we can start sooner rather than later

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Hey, Jay, many thanks for pointing me to these sources. Really appreciate it

I just saw someone casually mentioning using ChatGPT for a recipe. It's the SAME ONE CLICK to Google any recipe, but one will be wrong and one will be right. And the wrong one is also killing the environment and driving up prices. WHY are people using the wrong one??

Assumption, assumptions, my friend.

Of course not. We wouldn't be in a lot of the disaster we're in. But carrying on the status quo was not an option for too many. So it's apparently breaking before it gets rebuilt. I find the process abhorrent but we couldn't go on. Just look at the Dems even now. Sputtering, with notable exceptions

@sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social who knows how we track the impacts of mercury in the SF Bay/fish 1845-1900? I was surprised to just find out that the New Almaden mine in SJ on Guadalupe Creek was for cinnabar /mercury! Not sure if it could migrate north in the bay.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

If you're on FB check out Insect Sciences Museum of CA. We are native bee prone there as well!
