Costa’s Hummingbird on Ocotillo

Went out to Ironwood Forest National Monument this morning. Not alot of birds or blooms, but there was a nice Ocotillo attracting Costa’s hummingbirds and a Verdin in an Ironwood tree. Also found petroglyphs and pot shards. #tucson #sonorandesert #birds

Trump’s holy warriors finally got the apocalypse they’ve prayed for Hundreds are dead. Iran is retaliating. And some of the people who helped start this war think it's going exactly as God intended.

The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.

Stop calling these places “Detention Centers“ and call them what they are..Concentration Camps.

Fox is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. The more you watch, the less you know.

About 30 seconds after putting new suet out. (Gila Woodpecker) 😀 #tucson #birding

Tippi concurs 🐾

It’s almost like he’s hoping for it so that he can have an excuse to use “emergency powers”

Nice 35 mile 🚴‍♂️ ride this morning. Down the Rillito and up the Santa Cruz to The Mercado. Salted Honey Latte and a cream cheese pastry at Decibel. (Prbly more calories that I burned on the ride 😐) Saw several Phainopepla.The lizards and ground squirrels have emerged along the trail. #tucson #cycling

Staffer: Sir, good news. One of the F-15 pilots ejected safely and is on the ground. Calm and cool under pressure. Badass aura. A video taken by a thankful Kuwaiti civilian is going viral.

Hegseth: Fuck yeah. What's his name?

Staffer: Okay, so, here's the part you won't like...

Lunar eclipse

Lunar eclipse at about 0430 this morning. This was during totality. When not looking through the camera the moon was completely red. The camera picked up some slight earth shine on the lower edge no matter what settings I used. #moon #eclipse #lunareclipse

Full moon

Full moon 🌕 rising over Starr Pass tonight. Setting the alarm for 03:30 😐 tomorrow to try and get some shots of the lunar eclipse 🌑 #moon #eclipse #tucson

“This is just evangelical christian nationalist American fanatics vs. evangelical fanatical Shia Iran. A bunch of ultra religious apocalyptic loving assholes who have no business running a food truck let alone countries and wars.”

Everything goes in cycles in American politics, and when this MAGA cycle ends soon we must not forget the CEOs, law firms, and media elites who bent the knee to Trump and sold out America for money, power, and access.

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

Moonrise 🌕 over Little Cat Mountain. 98% tonight. #moon #tucson

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Well, this should be a record-breaking day nokings.org

Complete Loop 🚴‍♂️ ride this morning. 55 miles, 3 hours / 45 minutes. 😀 No coffee stops today. Not much wildlife, there were some Redwing Blackbirds along the Santa Cruz and areas of wildflowers along the route. #tucson #cycling

Rallying around the flag means rallying around the Constitution, not the unscrupulous leaders who trample upon it.

Stephen Miller in 2024:

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

Lots of great places to explore in SE…before it gets hot! We don’t go into the mines. The tailings next to old mines have good stuff😀

Today’s adventure. Rockhounding ⚒️ in the Santa Rita’s. Got some Hematite and copper minerals. 😀 #tucson

The media should cover this as murder because it is.

Had a pack of Chupacabras in the back this evening 🐺 #tucson
