Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸 #FuckICE

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

Data from the Cassini spacecraft shows that there is complex organic chemistry happening in the ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus. It took 17 years to get the result! The finding boosts the case that life could possibly exist inside this little ice-covered world. 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

In case you were wondering, here is the overall winner of the 2025 Astronomy Photographer of the Year award. It's a photo of the Andromeda Galaxy, showing this familiar sky object in a new, unique, and quite stunning way. 🔭🧪 www.rmg.co.uk/stories/spac...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

THIS is what has ALWAYS made America great! Congrats!

#Pinks #ProudBlue So true. Mark Train was brilliant and ahead of his time.

Oregon AG Rayfield: I know for a fact, from talking to cities across Oregon, that if you pick up the phone and ask, “What could be helpful?” the answer would not be the United States military.

🧑‍🌾 ICYMI — “When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing Trump’s ass for these trade deals?” A MISSOURI FARMER to repmarkalford (R) about Trump’s policies raising prices and crushing farmers. (H/T @corybooker )

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

This fantastic pic from Joe Randall was obtained by over 60 images, stacked to capture the sequence of the storm clouds, in July 2020 over Colorado Springs. We know on average 44 lightning bolts occur on Earth every second, even if... 1/2 ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap16120... 🔭 🧪 #science

#Pinks #ProudBlue As they have shown us time and time again. 🎯 🎯 🎯

Think of what can happen to a society that doesn't take authoritarian fascism seriously. 😳👇

OBAMA: Sir, I’m not the President of the United States, currently. So, there’s no point in shouting at me. I’m not in charge of foreign policy currently.

Charles Robert Redford Sr. with his son, Robert Redford (Bob) Santa Monica, 1936

“President Donald Trump didn’t create all our divisions as Americans. But he has found every fault line in America and wrenched them wide open.” — Robert Redford, 1939–2025

“Life is essentially sad. Happiness is sporadic. It comes in moments and that’s it. Extract the blood from every moment.” Robert Redford

Robert Redford warned us in 2020: “Four more years [of Trump] would accelerate our slide toward autocracy. It would be taken as free license to punish more so-called ‘traitors’ and wage more petty vendettas – with the full weight of the Justice Department behind them.”

"We need more understanding of humankind as the only real danger that exists is humanity itself, we are the great danger and we are pitifully unaware of it. We know nothing of humankind, much too little. Our psyche should be studied because we are the origin of all evil." ~ Carl Jung

🐜 Insects in trouble at high altitudes A 20-year study in a pristine Colorado meadow found flying insects dropped 72%, linked to warmer summers and rising night temperatures. Even untouched ecosystems are vulnerable. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/ecy.... #SciComm #Ecology 🧪

There will be a mass exodus from Florida in the next few years as kids and seniors begin to drop dead from measles, covid and other contagious diseases. I hope their loyalty to the GOP was worth it for them.

I’m in need of a timeline cleanse! ~ The Obama’s ~ 💙 #Pinks #ProudBlue

🌊 Collapse risk for Atlantic current rises A new study finds the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may hit an irreversible tipping point within decades, with up to 70% collapse risk under high emissions. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/environment/... #SciComm #ClimateCrisis 🧪

from a friend's property, here's a #cloudscape #landscape #waterscape #sunset for #scape day. I remember something from a little book called A Light on the Path about a rule of the universe - as above, so below. now I get it. (I doubt it referred to #pond #reflections though) #nature #EastCoastKin
