This Labor Day weekend remember it’s POWER TO THE PEOPLE ✊ #resist #powertothepeople

My wish every damn day

They shackle and drag respected hard working members of the community and lie about them having a record. This is ment to terrorize any Hispanic whether documented or not. This is plain evil

This is what government NIH funding has accomplished and what Trump and RFK jr are hell bent on destroying #NIHresearch #trumpdestroyscancerresearch#medicalresearch #RFKjr

We are going to give the Soviet block era Bulgaria a run for its money when Trump gets through with us. No parks for you! No dolls for you! No vaccines for you! No cancer cures for you!

Got an itch? #birds #birdphotograhy #Nikon

Is there someone in the White House who’s job is to each day figure out a way to screw over cancer patients. “Cancer prevention that’s a big no. New cutting edge therapies hell no #cancerprevention #melanoma #cancerresearch

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Even the Wall Street Journal gets it. They are destroying the next generation of cures

Every day the do something worse than the day before #DOGE #cancer #NIH

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🇺🇸 😕 www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/new...

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

I joined PBS Newshour to talk about this story www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX7-...

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

As a stage 3 melanoma patient I know the republicans don’t give a 💩 about me or any other cancer patient. All they want is massive tax breaks for their billionaire friends. They would walk on our graves to give it to them #cancer #melanoma

I knew Trump would tank the economy, but I gotta say doing it in under 60 days is a stunning achievement. Way to go orange guy #stockmarket #crash #Trump

This article demonstrates how utterly inept Musk and DOGE is and the true contempt they have for vets. When you fire people who are not even being paid by the VA. When you get rid of the people who keep it functioning your goal is destruction not efficiency

My interpretation of Musk and Rubio going at it in the cabinet meeting. May they both loose #photography #birds #birdsdopolitics

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

Start saving now, says former SSA chief www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

It’s a battle out there but determination wins #birds #wildlifephotography #resist

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

The cranes know love is the most important part #photographersunited #birds #peaceloveandunderstanding

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Just posted on my Facebook page. Our researchers, scientists and doctors are worth their weight in gold #science #medical #medicalressearch #NIH #cancer

Remembering a fall trip to Yellowstone. I am fearful that it will be sold to the highest bidder by the tech bros. #yellowstone #nationalparks #publiclands #protectourparks #resist

Chasing a small bit of beauty to renew my spirit. Cannot believe we have to resist this evil #resist #naturebeauty #birds

In this awful terrible sad times I will hold onto #peaceloveandunderstanging I will not give into hate and fear

The last ten days have left me grasping for serenity. I left Twitter for bluer skies and for my political news but now I would like to connect with photographers here. #photography #birds #wildlifephotography

This is so true. They believe the most mediocre white guy is better than any women, black or brown person just because they are white

This is me a cancer patient looking at the jerks who have halted cancer research through their stupidity

I have stage 3c melanoma with a mutation that make me less responsive to current treatments. This hits me in my gut. I am pissed and sick in my heart that people I know voted for this.

JFC can someone who voted for Trump tell me why this is a good thing It was not clear from the new administration’s guidance whether the directive will affect more urgent communications, such as foodborne disease outbreaks, drug approvals and new bird flu cases.

I spent this cold and cloudy morning with the birds looking for some solace. They mirrored my mood #birds #wildlifephotography #photography 🪶😒
