Only a mentally ill sadistic SOB would do what ICE goons do to people, let alone to a 7-year old child ICE & the U.S. Border Patrol are the new Gestapo #Trump #ICE #BorderPatrol

Trump & his goons are looking for an incident to invoke the Resurrection Act All it will take is demonstrators taking the bait from ICE/US Border Patrol goons abusing people & fighting back #Trump #ICE #BorderPatrol

Brilliant to spot a Hummingbird Hawkmoth on the pink salvias at #ParhamHouse gardens. #westsussex #moths @sussexwildlife.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

3 things I learned from Dr. Jane Goodall. My morning thoughts. www.forbes.com/sites/marsha... --

America is in crisis. So it's a small relief that the rest of the world is actually getting remarkable stuff done with energy. We just passed a huge milestone globally! Now back to work on America. billmckibben.substack.com/p/something-...

I have noticed that many voices who were really loud before on issues like climate change, conservation and related, are somehow muted these days. Are folks afraid of being targeted?

Researchers across the US and the world who raced to protect climate data, public reports and other information from the Trump administration’s budget cuts, firings, and scrubbing of federal websites are launching their own climate information portals. From our friends at @insideclimatenews.org:

As Russia is discovering, a drone can wreck an oil refinery Not so much a solar farm, since silicon doesn't explode billmckibben.substack.com/p/its-hard-t...

💚As an individual we hold so much power. As a collective we are even stronger. Think about who benefits from keeping us isolated and silent. In times of atrocity, destruction and genocide, the courage to act to disrupt, to resist, to disobey is a right and moral responsibility to many.

Rest in Peace Dr. Jane Goodall. It was an honor to share the stage as award recipients at the Captain Planet Foundation and then have a great discussion on Weather Geeks.

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know. A great soul if ever there was one www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Beautiful pictures starting to stream in from around the country on Sun Day!

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium would recognize me and swim over to say hi when I visited her exhibit ❤️🐠 A rare hybrid gar, I raised her since she was 2 inches long, and had to re-home her when I moved to Chicago. I was happy I could visit her in her new home! TO BE CONTINUED…

@billmckibben.bsky.social says although “this is as dark a moment as there's ever been in our democracy,” a surge in renewable energy is an "untold story" with huge potential. "It's so big and so good that it might help with both the climate and the authoritarianism crisis.”

If you really listen, you can hear this parrotfish munching away peacefully! Bonaire (my video)

Yes but have you seen the new Garbubu? Adorable. #GarWeek

I just came back fromBonaire and I'm more energized than ever. and I'm also putiing it bluntly in here. You don't follow me, I don't follow you. You don't engage with me and I will not engage with you...

The deep sea is a vital carbon sink, but it’s under threat. Bottom trawling & deep-sea mining could release massive carbon stores, worsening the climate crisis 🌀. The burden of proof should be on those exploiting, not protecting, these ecosystems. 📘 Read our latest by Christina Richardson, Ph.D.

Wow! An epic sight of 100+ Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing today by our group on tour in Malaysia. A lot bigger & a lot easier to identify than a Southern Small White in England!
