FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Asan and Yevhen are military medics who saved lives at Azovstal. In May 2022, they went into russian captivity following orders. Recently they shared photos taken after their release and after 2 years of rehabilitation. No comments required. #russiaisaterroiststate

And how exactly will Trump “cure cancer” without science and medical research funding?

It was... interesting.

Happy Thanksgiving from the shores of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota.

These two, Tanner James and Georgia Joy, bring me so much joy. I am blessed, and grateful.

There's a tradition that never gets old: our ex-orphans returning home after giving birth, just to share the joy with the Keepers who raised them. This time of year is full of these reunions - mothers bringing their wild-born babies back to say hello. That's what your support creates. 🐘💚

I recall the media having a field day accusing Biden of putting our troops in harms way during their withdrawal from Afghanistan. Let’s see if they offer the same courtesy to Trump for his disaster in DC.

I remember when we used to hold a president in a position of honor. Not a king but reverence, respect. This guy is a clown, a joke, and a disgrace

Sometimes we have to laugh to keep from crying. [Cartoon by Benjamin Slyngstad]

For #WoodpeckerWednesday I managed to spot and capture a photo of Britains largest Woodpecker, the beautiful Green Woodpecker over The Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales 19/11/25 🪶 🦉 #birdingWales #ukbirding #ukwildlife #birdwatching #wildlife #birdphotography #woodpecker #naturephotography

It’s been an extremely windy, snowy day but the cardinals are weathering the storm #photography #birds

Each of these babies are only alive today because we stepped into rescue and raise their mothers after they were orphaned. Today, these rescued elephants are living wild and raising confident, playful babies. Get to know the tiny trunks in our midst: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.o...

According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, Trump's approval rating is underwater in the majority of states — including 20 states he won last year. He's flailing on the economy and his party's odds for 2026 are crumbling. Do not let him convince you he is all powerful.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, except the turkey who incited the storming of the dinner table.

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! 👏👏👏 Dems on the Oversight Committee launched a tracking system “to hold the Trump Administration accountable” for ICE/DHS fed abuses and misconduct. View what’s been documented so far or submit a new report: bit.ly/tellonice #TellOnICE #StopICE #ICEwatch #ICEraid #50501Movement

A Justice Department memo seeks to assure military officers of the legality of Donald Trump’s orders for striking boats—but the protective value of this memo “may be no greater than the value of the paper it is written on,” Paul Rosenzweig argues:

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy. It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

The two West Virginia National Guard members are dead because of Donald Trump. He used them as props in hopes of causing wholly unnecessary trouble that he could use as a pretext for an authoritarian clampdown on civilians. Being a sociopath with no introspection, he won't care.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Reminder: If Trump believed even for one minute his orders to the military were always going to be lawful, he would’ve endorsed the PSA from democratic lawmakers, not threatened to have them arrested and executed.

Earlier this year I actually held this woodpecker in my hand and cut it free from a mesh fence, a truly unforgettable experience. A return trip a few months later to see a pair with a juvenile always puts a smile on my face. #WoodpeckerWednesday #birds🪶 #UKWildlife #Naturephotography #NatureTherapy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
