Donald Trump is the biggest national security fuckup in American history.

Future generations won’t believe these trees existed. They will read about 1,500-year-old cedars and 2,000-year-old redwoods and think we made them up—like dragons or griffins. But right now, we have the chance to make sure the story ends differently. Don’t let the last ancients become myths.

Shot this looking straight down into the canyon below the waterfall at The Hermitage. I liked the patterns in the water rushing by at high speed through the narrow channel. #photography #landcape #longexposure flic.kr/p/2s44SJX

Hundreds of immigrants have been arrested at immigration courthouses. It is unclear whether the federal government's admission could lead to some of those arrests being overturned. n.pr/4t3NCzU

Here's an outtake that didn't make it into the new Moon Glacier National Park guidebook coming out in fall. It's Gunsight Lake...more artsy, than illustrative of what hikers or backpackers might see. #nationalparks #lakes #mountains #hiking #trails #backpacking #reflections #Glacier #guidebooks

This is a global problem that calls for a continuing and strengthening global reaction. Like it or not, the people of the US are not in this alone.

MacFarlane: Another question asks, “Have any of those who were pardoned been sent back to jail for other offenses?” There have been dozens who have been jailed, charged, or arrested in other cases…

MacFarlane: Michael Flynn is about to receive a significant amount of taxpayer money—more than $1 million—in a reported settlement with the DOJ over what he claims was a wrongful prosecution for making a false statement to the FBI about Russia.

NATO has been a good ally all along. He just hasn't figure out how to grift money from then yet, so he's angry.

Stealing our own tax 💰💰 to kill wind farms.

Good morning all Piet Mondrian

This fantastic Roman silver denarius celebrates Octavian’s acquisition of Egypt, symbolised by a crocodile, not long after his defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Got to love that toothy grin. 🕰️ 28BC #AncientBlueSky 🏺

We're watching the LeBron of politics of his generation.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor tore into her colleagues — and the lower courts — for failing to protect the rights of a citizen journalist who was arrested in Texas for reporting on information a government official willingly handed over.

In the case of Arnoldo, agents beat him, called him names, and pawned his cell phone. Yet there is no evidence that those agents have been removed or investigated. In some cases, ICE and CBP agents have even been REWARDED for their horrific actions. Where is the accountability?

Am I crazy, getting ahead of myself, or is the Iran war already shaping up to be systemically significant? Unless the US gets a military victory or clear concessions—not looking good—then Iran keeping Hormuz closed breaks the post-WWII US military dominance in the Gulf, with wide reverberations.

New AP poll: Ground war is deeply unpopular. Economic anxiety is rising fast. Politicians who ignore this, will pay a price.

bbc.com/news/article... This is where we learn that gas for American pickup trucks is somewhat less important than fertilizer for crops for the most populous nations. @petehoekstra

This cycle of EV demand and bust is exhausting. We could have had wide adoption over 20 years ago! Instead, we keep pumping money into gas guzzling vehicles and then whine when gas prices go up. If you choose a horrible gas milage, you will pay more in gas. That's the choice you made.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

The sun starts to rise towards mid-archway now as we head towards Summer. The first one I have had this year as it was so quiet up there this morning. Taken in St Michael's tower on Glastonbury Tor.

This morning captured a dragonfly, emerged from its nymph exoskeleton. Have had so many breeding in our pond the past year. No fish.

They’re chanting it in arenas now. “Fuck ICE.” Not fringe. Not hidden. Mainstream. Loud. Unfiltered. When institutions lose legitimacy, the streets stop whispering. ....They start shouting.

Mayan scepter of the deity K'awiil, 200-900CE, an essential element of the royal regalia used by Mayan rulers. He is one of the most important gods in the Mayan pantheon, associated with lightning, fire, strength and abundance. He is visually identified by having one leg ending in a serpent.

Trump is forcing US taxpayers to pay this grifter for committing his felony.

The answer is: Fuck no. Because you shouldn't show up to court to deal with a minor issue only to get kidnapped and disappeared.

OK! Toyota is ready to fight!👍🏿 Everyone looks at the number of cars that are sold in China each year, and begins to salivate. Their eyes turn to dollar signs!🤑 Then they get in market, and realize how much quality and value you need to pack into a tiny price.🤯 It's harder than spaceflight!

Why in God’s name, did that tRump Postmaster General wasn’t kicked out IMMEDIATELY!!!! They all are crooked as hell & will cheat everyone & anyone who ISN’T A BILLIONAIRE!!!! Come ON People!! How long do we just sit and take it?? Until we’re all dead??

With its low horizon, simple composition and focus on the rendering of the clouds, sea and sand, Boudin's picture (1888) of Trouville is reminiscent of the work by the 17thC Dutch realist landscape artist Salomon van Ruysdael, an artist he greatly admired throughout his life.

Awful. Conditions just continue to worsen for Colorado's snowpack (and across many other western U.S. states), with average snow water equivalent nosediving after the historic March heatwave. (which actually continues today with more record heat!) Graphic: nwcc-apps.sc.egov.usda.gov/awdb/basin-p...
