One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

Lewis’s woodpeckers in abundance today, feasting on acorns.

Added this lifer to my list last week, but stopped by this morning and was rewarded by closer images. Lewis’s Woodpecker. #Photographersunited #wildlifephotography #birding #nikonphotography

A love letter to Alaska. I can't say enough about how beautiful the area was and how memorable our trip was. Alaska and Alaskans really showed up.

Trump and Republicans destroyed the US economy in less than 8 months. Remarkable.

Homer, AK - just now. AK, you are A+.

Haven’t spent much time on social media lately, but I’ve been living my best life these past couple of weeks in Alaska. Bears at Katmai were special #PhotographersUnited #nikon #wildlifephotography

Middie at 20+ yo. Not much longer (his hips are giving way), but a little more time in a sunny window sill.

Something different, sort of - Hot and windy few days in Death Valley in July (who doesn't do that?), specifically to go see the Wildrose Charcoal Kilns. They didn't disappoint. Open images to see pano in the first one. #PhotographersUnited #NikonPhotography #AstroPhotography

My poor camera gear. First, my card reader decided to give up the ghost, then someone broke into my car and stole my Z6ii and 150-600mm lens and wedding pics, and then I got shampoo all over my 400mm lens in the drive home. Here's a white-eyed swinhoe I managed to keep.

I suspect a deal will be crafted based on release/no release of Trump’s taxes.

Russia was planning operation Zeus to murder thousands of civilians across Ukraine on the night of June 1 to get an upper hand with negotiations in Istanbul, that was until Ukraine’s operation web declawed them and destroyed nearly half their strategic bombers. Russia aborted the mission.

Happy Saturday! Stay warm.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

Birds and ocotillo in southern AZ last week. #Nikonphotographer #PhotographersUnited #WildlifePhotography #Birds

Spectacular weekend watching the sandhill crane migration. While there were hundreds of thousands of birds funneling through the Platte River, it's worthwhile to enjoy the beauty of the area and individuals too. #Birds #Nikonphotography #wildlifephotography #SandhillCranes #PhotographersUnited

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Ummmm SEIU is standing up for their members big time. Following ICE’s snatching of an @SEIU worker, they’re not f*cking around. It would be a shame if everyone shared this and embarrassed ICE. #4The1st

Spring is springing. We had the extreme good fortune to witness not only the largest sandhill migration in NE, but also the annual prairie chicken “lek,” the mating ritual as old as time. Freezing mornings be damned, it was magical. #photographersunited #birds #wildlifephotography #nikonphotographer

I want to post my brown boobies (birds, ya filthy minds), but I’m going to wait for mama to move her baby farther from the top of the cliff where we saw them. Meantime, here are more pretty sea jewels. #photographersunited #wildlifephotography #om7-g

'Ted Lasso' lives! Jason Sudeikis' soccer series officially returning for season 4 - Entertainment Weekly I don’t care what the orange nut-monkey and his flying gorillas are doing. My life is better today.

Who goes to Cayman to look at birds? Well, … #photographersunited #birds #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #nikonphotography

Burying my head in … the water this week. Taking my OM TG-7 out for a spin. Pretty fishies.

❤️❤️❤️

Margo is a hero. This is a good thread. @margogontar.bsky.social , from the bottom of my heart, the admin does not speak for me.

Happy Sunday! Hope you find a little patch to sunbathe in like this beauty. #NikonPhotography #WildlifePhotography #PhotographersUnited

Not a bird, despite its location - my first wild porcupine! #NikonPhotography #Wildlifephotography #PhotographersUnited

Birds have been extremely ordinary lately, although we had an exceptional crop of western bluebirds. Here's one posing for me yesterday. #Birds #BirdPhotography #PhotographersUnited #Nikonphotography

We apparently missed "Gulf of America Day" yesterday. But at least one person celebrated by sending us an aggressively hand-drawn map revision. Unfortunately, MapQuest does not accept submissions in crayon.

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does. So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose. No paywall. Please read & share: www.qasimrashid.com/p/cfpb-is-su...

Happy Monday #BleedsGreen youtu.be/vGnDZdNaETI

I’m hearing National Archives in College Park MD is prepping for a visit from Elon. If you’re there and want to confirm, you can reach out anonymously to the signal in my bio.

Let’s talk about today’s rally with Sen. @warren.senate.gov and Rep. Waters. The CFPB is a critical federal agency created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Its mission is to protect consumers from predatory practices with mortgage lending, credit cards, payday loans, and student loans.

Today, I’m calling on our brave public servants: I’m launching a new portal for anyone who wants to expose corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety with the legal protections of being a whistleblower. www.democrats.senate.gov/whistleblowers

Jalen Hurts isn't Patrick Mahomes. No one is Patrick Mahomes. But Hurts has now outperformed Mahomes twice on the sport's biggest stage. onpattison.com/news/2025/fe...

Wow. Trump picked the Chiefs. #ETTD Football Edition

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

As Trump goes after DEI, HillmanTok University is teaching Black history for free to TikTok users. These are someof their lessons ⤵️

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Winged Wednesday. Green heron readying for flight - how do I know? Birds tend to reduce ballast as they prepare to fly. #birds #birdphotography #nikonphotography #PhotographersUnited

This is how I feel. And inconsolably sad.

Happy last day of January! Hope we get a do-over to improve our score next month. Meantime, enjoy these happy little bluebirds ending their dry January. #Birds #Birdphotography #Nikonphotography #PhotographersUnited

This cheeky little bewick’s wren was hopping around under the rail and our feet at the hatchery. He had found the bugs hiding out there. #PhotographersUnited #Nikonphotography #Birds #Birdphotography

Last ones for tonight: lesser scaups. Not sure who is prettier - mister or missus. #PhotographersUnited #Nikonphotography #Birds #Birdphotography

Who knew such a plain, simple bird like a gadwall could be art? I’m in love with them. #PhotographersUnited #Nikonphotography #Birds #Birdphotography

Canvasback coolness. So much fun birding today - probably will post a lot for a minute. #PhotographersUnited #Nikonphotography #Birds #Birdphotography

🚨 BREAKING: OMB has just issued a memo *rescinding* the previous memo freezing all federal financial assistance programs. Full text, per government source:

Quick spin around my favorite watering hole revealed a pair of cardinals feasting on hackberries. The female/juvenile is an interesting shade of orange. #PhotographersUnited #Nikonphotography #Birds #Birdphotography
