A single square kilometer of forest is home to over 1,000 species of plants and animals.That's a level of magic no movie can replicate. Let's protect these incredible hubs of biodiversity. 🦉🌿 #DidYouKnow #Wildlife #NatureFacts ‎

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 11 Mallard ducks are seemingly everywhere. The males often get most of the attention with their green heads, but the females are just as gorgeous. This female mallard is just taking off and is showing all her beautiful feathers! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

A male Red-bellied Woodpecker perches on a snowy branch. One of the historical nicknames for this bird is "Chad," which comes from one of the harsh and short calls this bird makes.

Every American should feel daily shame that we have allowed ourselves to not only be represented by these people, but that they are using this position to destabilize the world, kill innocent people, and act as a rogue state. Let that shame be the fuel to act, to disrupt, and to defeat them.

A female Northern Cardinal looking nice and fluffy and ready for winter. This particular female has quite a bit of red in her eyebrows and in her crest (reminds me of a flame.)

"Trump is an outright racist and he appeals to 10s of millions of US citizens who are also outright racists" is both fundamentally, obviously true ... and something that mainstream journalism has decided is impermissible to say.

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

I think this is the only banded Sandhill Crane I have ever photographed. Nice to see one. #birds #SandhillCrane

Appreciate the continued focus @atrupar.com's 'Public Notice' team on the overt racism spewing from the president of the United States. It is vile, Nazi stuff that is now permeating not just Trump's press gaggles but official US govt policy. More pundits & news orgs need to cover it, too.

Good morning from the north country of NH. Temperature dropping steadily from 10 F a few hours ago to 5 F now (10 am). I’m in the kitchen making another batch of marmalade.

A close-up of a Tufted Titmouse with his/her tuft blowing in the wind. I love their black eyelashes. The thin black feathers around the break are rictal bristles, which are common in many birds but their size and placement differs between species.

A Winter Wren bopping along the edge of a fallen log. I find these birds to be the cutest of the wrens we have here in Michigan due to their spherical shape.

A Dark-eyed Junco (slate-colored subspecies) tummy deep in the snow. Their coat of feathers is 30% heavier during the colder months to help them stay warm.

It’s the bird whose name sounds like a Shakespearean insult!!! A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker for #WoodpeckerWednesday. #birds 🌿

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...

A beautiful winter day.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Drug trafficking is not an act of war. This whole idea that these boats can kill millions of Americans is fantasy land. It's based on a fake statistic about fentanyl. And they're not going to the US and they're not carrying fentanyl.

After a windy, snowy morning, the sun is shining through the clouds. It will be cold tonight.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
