Happy Birdtober! 🖤 ʻAlalā (Hawaiian Crow) Corvus hawaiiensis The ʻalalā is the comeback story we all love — a smart, social crow with a team dedicated to returning it to its Hawaiian forest home. Let’s cheer on these hopes for its continuing recovery in Hawaiʻi! #Birdtober #Alala #HawaiianCrow

In June when I said I was attending the No King's protest, someone said 'oh it's just going to be old people in sun hats.' 'Yes', I said, 'the same people who 60 years ago protested to end the Vietnam War.'

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

My quote of the day Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality. Linus Pauling

I do not want to see a Supreme Court justice’s face on cable news, period

You're welcome! No, amber doesn't since it's not a mineral - as you said, it's fossilised tree resin. There are over 6100 mineral species as of January 2025. This article is a great summary of mineral species www.mindat.org/a/what_is_a_...

Just an FYI again. Liking a post does nothing at all. If you want a post to be seen you need people to repost it. And good luck on that. 🙄 I've started the reposter club. Please join me.

This. Is. Brilliant.

Have you had a Covid vax booster lately? If not, this weekend would be a very good time #VaccinesWork

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

One block over from the White House: the aspirational security line setup

If the US stops fluoridating water, in 5 yrs American children would suffer an additional 25.4 million cavities, with an added cost of $9.8B, and loss of 2.9 million quality-adjusted life years, disproportionately borne by children currently on public health insurance or who lack insurance entirely.

Probably worth saving this number

I forgot how much I love this place.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

I fucking love that Jim Carrey hates Donald Trump as much as we do. 🤣

44 filled us with hope 47 made us a joke With tiny hands clenched And government wrenched Our trajectory is only downslope

It would be a real shame if y'all shared this online, printed out a few and hung up all around the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 😉

There’s so much more work to be done and so much traction that has been lost. #IDW When they tried to bury us, they did not know we are seeds. Now is the time to #AccelerateAction

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Someday soon, he'll get his parade. We'll ALL watch it. The whole world will remember where they were. The cheering and applause will be insane. We'll have tears in our eyes, and there will be commemorative merchandise. It will be the best funeral ever.
