We're jumping for joy because a commission has voted to halt the sales of fur from #Colorado wildlife 🦊🦫 In response to our petition, the CO Parks and Wildlife Commission voted 6-4 to begin a rulemaking process to prohibit the commercial sale of furs taken from the state’s wildlife. bit.ly/4aQSwtU

No interest in Trump's latest Cook Inlet oil and gas lease sale! “This is a huge embarrassment for Trump’s Alaska fossil fuel fantasy,” said Cooper Freeman, the Alaska director at @biologicaldiversity.org. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/c...

While other leaders seek to placate Donald Trump, Spain’s prime minister is hailed by Europe’s left for offering a progressive alternative. Yet he gathers less praise from Europe’s other leaders—or from Spaniards

#EmergencyRadio, #solar, #Wind-Upcharger Flashlight, weather/emergency, phone-charger. Solar/wind-up/electric plug-in. Not expensive. Bought mine on Amazon.

Everyone should have a solar (on top)/ wind up (on rt) emergency radio with weather/emergency updates. They are not expensive, and can charge your phone too.

used to be, weight loss was just calories in/out. now, early mouse studies show gut bacteria + low protein diets can turn white fat (storage) into beige fat (burn). interesting stuff.

Imagine the republican reaction if a Female POTUS said she started a war based on a "feeling".

Within weeks of giving the US military unguided and unlimited use of Anthropoc’s Claude AI, it proves how insane that is by hallucinating outdated information from ten year old maps to target a converted school building and annihilate 175 young school girls. The US Army IS Skynet. 😱

Kristi Noem has used $200M+ in taxpayer funds to pay firms with close ties to her top aides to make anti-immigrant PSAs. Her luxury jets will cost taxpayers nearly $300M. Trump's lackeys rail against "government waste," but are happy to pilfer taxpayer funds for themselves.

Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..

Tiramisu. Lady fingers, big failure. Aqua-garbonzo-water & I dont get along well. Made coffee cake and chocolate coffee cake, brushed with bourbon and caramel oat creamer, tira-cream (butter, firm silk tofu, vanilla yogurt and sugar blended) layered and cocoa powder topped. 😃

I am always surprised to learn of vegans who can cohabitate w nonVegans. For me, that would be an uncompromising no.

Since launching his all-out invasion of Ukraine, Putin has repeatedly shown that an alliance with Russia is little more than a paper shield, senior columnist @fridaghitis.bsky.social‬ writes.

Everyone loves animal posts ❤️☺️ …unless you mention not needlessly harming them #vegan 🙈🙉🙊 #block #ChildishLists #Hypocrisy

Why is any thinking person w options still supporting this barbaric & outdated practice? 💔

This isn’t a food system, this is outdated and inexcusable barbarism.

Your bacon died in terror.

A world of peace and plenty for all, is a world without billionaires.

The notice and comment process is an important form of democratic participation, and a meaningful check on administrative power.

“Every senator who voted for this #PublicLands hater showed they’re willing to let our country’s wildest places be torn up and sold for parts to make billionaires richer,” said Ryan Beam, public lands advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity, in response to the vote. Get the rest ⬇️

“Steve Pearce is Trump’s hand-picked hatchet man to liquidate the West for private profit. The American people repeatedly say they want public lands to be protected. Instead, we’ve got senators allowing an industry puppet to call the shots.”

A sobering fact: We’ve lost around 3 billion #birds in North America since 1970 — a loss of nearly one in four birds. And yet, this week a congressional panel is meeting to consider weakening the #MigratoryBirdTreatyAct. We'll continue to fight for them. Join us ➡️ bit.ly/4cu2DpR

3 Manatee moms each with a calf. This group of manatees was sunbathing in Tampa Bay a few days ago. Manatees are found in Tampa Bay all year long. #nature #animals #awesome #wildlife #manatees #awesome #babyanimals

Just seeing this critically endangered sawfish in the first place was awesome enough for me. Watching it stalk a school of fish and then bury itself in the sand like a stingray really took it to another level though. #nature #animals #wildlife #ocean #awesome #tampa #rare

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Cool shots of dolphins mud ring feeding with mullet jumping everywhere. This hunting technique and fish kicking can be seen throughout the Tampa Bay area. The full, high resolution video is on my youtube channel. #nature #amazing #animals #wildlife #naturephotography #dolphins

Winter Rays... Huge group of rays and some manatees in Tampa Bay, Florida. As large as the winter gathering is, it's not nearly as large as the summer Cownose Ray migration. I'll share some footage of that next. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #florida #ocean youtube.com/shorts/J0z1Q...

A BIG group of manatees gathered on a sandbar yesterday in St Petersburg, Florida. The water was about 3-7 feet deep. Todays warmer weather will cause them to move to a different spot that is slightly deeper. #nature #amazing #animals #wildlife #ocean youtu.be/iBpClR-d_RQ

Remember when hockey fans think hockey players have higher IQ than regular athletes? 🙄 US Men’s hockey team got fed McDonald’s in White House.

People at the beach reacting to a dolphin chasing a school of mullet that were swimming through the people. I'm don't even know where to begin, I'm just going to leave the commentary to you :-) #nature #beach #florida #wildlife #ocean #funny youtube.com/shorts/Syngl...

A Spinner Shark, spinning. St Pete, Florida. This is how Spinner Sharks hunt. They rush up from below to ambush their prey, sometimes dramatically breaching the surface. #nature #sharks #animals #amazing #wildlife #ocean

Another manatee swimming through a large group of Cownose Rays in St Pete, Florida. As large as this group of rays (aka fever) is that shows up in the winter, some of the groups in summer are bigger, and are larger than the Mobula Ray migrations in Baja. #nature #animals #ocean youtu.be/mOy13FJHOxQ

If you eat eggs you’re paying for billions of day old baby chicks to be either ground up alive in a macerator or suffocated, their only crime being born male and therefore not profitable to the egg industry. With so many alternatives that don’t involve animal suffering, do you really support that?

More evidence that politicians are effectively OWNED by the animal ag industry. The dairy industry is a DEATH industry with no “happy cows”. Learn the truth, then #DitchDairy and #GoVegan

The deaths of these innocent animals was entirely preventable. Humans can not only survive but thrive without consuming ANYTHING from an animal. In fact, not consuming animal “products” reduces the chance of contracting many chronic diseases including the biggest killers. #GoVegan

The big question is if the elected officials, who are supposed to represent the interests of ALL their constituents, will actually do that or continue to serve only the special interests of animal ag. They’re elected to serve the PUBLIC interests, but most are in the pockets of animal ag.

The animal agriculture industry shamelessly lies by putting forth the argument that any of this labeling is confusing, and while they’re at it they’re insulting the intelligence of consumers. They know their days are numbered and are grasping at straws, trying to hold on as long as they can.

All convicted of involvement in this should receive LONG prison sentences, just as if the animal victims were human. The double standard needs to go. The lives of the animals are every bit as important to them as the lives of humans are to those humans. No more slaps on the wrist!

Never let a non-vegan tell you that they’re an environmentalist/climate activist. They’re hypocrites. The single best thing everyone can do to combat climate change is to #GoVegan, and it’s easier than ever. Just do it…for the animals, the environment, and yourself. HowDoIGoVegan.com

We’re going to have to reboot the world after Trump crashes it.
