These foolish cowards capitulated. How could anyone with even a single working synapse believe this admin will bargain in good faith? None of them should ever receive a Democrat, or thinking person's vote again. They have earned nothing but infamy, disdain, and disgrace for this failure.

At the pond on a nearly perfect morning, this guy prowled for breakfast. Black Necked Stilts live and breed here. I am thankful. #birds

They don't care, and we've known about it so long, pro life is the stuff of Orwell. Atrocious indeed

Before coming here, I had never seen a duck do this, but West Indian Whistling Ducks seem quite good at it. #birds

A while back I posted our, yet to be adopted by, kittens, here they are now at 12 weeks old! Harry (King Harald) and Odin. In the image with both Harry is facing camera. And Odin is facing camera in the image with Leo our 3y/o. All are Norwegian Forest Cats #cats

"In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%" So sad, I cannot imagine how traumatising it must be to lose a multi-generation family farm. I apologise if this seems like piling on, but most "farm states" vote for the folks whose policies make it happen and hurt worse

Indeed! As always, thanks for posting.

Mr Elias is one of the heroes of this miserable epoch and has my gratitude. I wish the dem leadership had his moxie.

Schumer and all the rest of the Vichy democrats will go down in history, if a free state survives for history to be written, in much the same way as Laval, Pétain, and all those whose cowardice and avorice cost them their nation.

Ineptotism (verb) [in-ep-ta-tism] 1. Describes the hiring of an unqualified individual by another unqualified individual based on favoritism and incompetence. 2. See also — The current Regime’s administration.

These are Royal Terns, the two in the air from "Over the Edge" on Grand Cayman's north side, the other on the Rum Point dock. As I watch the horrors brought on by 🦧 I take comfort in taking pictures in this great place and hope his incompetence prevents what could be even worse. #birds

Maverick and Snowball (Names subject to change) are 9 weeks old now and have gotten the necessary immunizations and will be formally adopting us on Saturday weather permitting. Uncle Leo is going to be surprised! #cats

Great stuff indeed, 🦧 meets reality!

Let me suggest that if I have tanks invade my city, that if the courts declare me a second-class citizen, that if masked men abduct my neighbors, and I go to you, my rep, and say “help me fight my persecutors,” and you say “shush, talk about healthcare subsidies,” you, too, are my persecutor

I am feeling bad because I ragged on texas when the thing I was referencing was in Tennessee. So here is the state bird of Texas, the Northern Mockingbird, looking like he's mocking me for my error! #birds

Can we staple these words to the collar of every dem leader in both houses please? And pass out copies to the rest. I am thinking a tee shirt with these words and a picture of the statue of soldiers at Iwo Jima, or any other symbol of victory over fascism, would sell

If there is any chance this would work, and they would have to courage to do it, it is a slam dunk positive. Injustice delayed is injustice denied after all. The Roberts court 6 is second only to 🦧 himself in the pantheon of ignominy history will build about these times.

White Crowned Pigeon seen at the nearby pond. I grew up in NY where city pigeons (Rock Doves) were considered rats with wings and a nuisance but the White Crowned is looked upon quite favourably here. John James Audubon loved them, his watercolours in "Birds of America"(1827) made them famous #birds

Been distracted by the fall of democracy back in the states so haven't posted pics, here's an American who came for vacation last december. She's an American Kestrel, the smallest raptor in America, who landed in the tree next to our house maybe looking for the small lizards she preys upon. #birds

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

This should be amplified to the degree possible. Second only to the orange 🦧 himself is SCOTUS in this timeline of disaster for the US

I stand with DC and against fascism wherever it appears.

This is a Brown Booby, He is cooling off high on Cayman Brac after bringing back food to his mate and their chick. The Brown Booby is tough, strong, rightfully proud, and a wonderful father and dedicated husband. In every way superior to that Orange Booby up in the states! #birds

What's always amazed me, even long before it entered politics, was how joe sixpack could look at it, a soft brie wrapped in a Joseph A Bank off the rack, and think anything but pampered rich prick, never been in even a schoolyard dust up, pays for sex and friendship, loser. This timeline is twisted

Science is real

Brilliant! Another in a great series of honest government ads.

While it saddens me that NASA is not in a position under this antiscience admin to offer a similar proposition I am glad the ESA is. As the US surrenders their leading role we must encourage the free world countries to take it up. As an expat, I also support the adventure of life abroad. Good luck!

I don't typically post critters other than Birds and Herps but here a baby Wombat that was orphaned and brought to my friends veterinary practice and then to this rehab in Tasmania.

Peregrine on a road sign, Long Island NY. His stare really makes him look like the incredible predator he is. In steep dives they are the fastest animal on the planet. Cool to see one posing like this #birds

I'd argue that they fall well short of mediocre, and calling them people might give them more credit than they deserve

Sometimes you just get lucky, even a hack like me if you keep snapping every once in a while you get one. Down at the local pond, Savannah, Grand Cayman #birds

I am old enough to remember when a country where masked plainclothes secret police disappeared people off the streets was universally looked down upon by the civilized world. If you can read this, if you can read, if you've spoken your first words, you're old enough too. Fun fact, it still is

💯 GIVE A FUCK. It’s time.

A royal blue Cayman sky and a Royal Tern looking for his next meal. If they're flying about it may mean good fishing as they follow the bait fish. The Royals are the tern you'll see most often here, unlike the common, left, or no u's you see elsewhere. #birds

Even though these Northern Crested Caracara are most likely found near the ground foraging for carreon or engaging in kleptoparasitism they are the second largest species in the Falcon family. These guys were seen at Pico Bonito N.P. south of La Ceiba Honduras #birds

I saw someone had posted a Rad-Winged Blackbird a few days ago and found one I saw up on the south shore of Long Island NY. They are plentiful up there and will perch on the flimsiest of reeds, or beach grass. #birds

💯👇, 🦧=🌮

Don't believe I'm not a child sex predator? Well, don't take it from me. Take it from my good friend, the world's worst living child sex trafficker, whom I'm about to pardon!

These two little guys were born on July 4 and will be adopting us in September. They are Norwegian Forest Cats

Add "You believe it's ok for federal officers to wear facial coverings and plain clothes while disappearing your neighbors" Hint: A guy in street clothes with a mask and a gun is a robber, or worse, unless you're in a fascist dictatorship, in which case there's no difference between robber and Fed

Happy 4th of July, Batman.

Probably the least common of the Herons we see here, this Little Blue Heron was on Cayman Brac. From a distance we thought maybe it was a Cuban Sandhill Crane which is rare indeed. #birds
