Love looking through all the submissions on the Gulls Eating Stuff project website. Getting pretty good coverage of the UK too! If you have photos of gulls eating stuff, you can submit them at citsci.org/projects/gul.... Thanks to @scistarter.bsky.social for promoting the project too :).

Indonesia’s loss of 10.5M ha of forest is a direct amplifier of disaster. Without tree cover, soils erode, slopes fail, and #floods hit with brutal force. The deadly impacts we see today stem from weakened watersheds and unchecked #deforestation —not nature alone.🌳🌲 #IndonesiaFlood 🛰 #Sentinel2

So they’re basically laundering our federal science budget over to the for-profit prison and concentration camp industry? NSF’s 2024 budget was $9.06 billion. NASA: $24.875. NIH: $47.7 billion. Fund science, not cruelty.

Today, Ag Sec. Brooke Rollins added insult to public-lands-sell-off injury by rescinding the highly effective Roadless Rule protecting 58 million acres of national forests, calling it ‘absurd.’ She was in this building in Santa Fe a few hours ago as a HUGE crowd rallied to support public lands.

There are way too many things to be upset about these days, but I believe the destruction of public lands should be near the top of the list: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

A 14 second message to the point.

Iraq had no WMDs in 2003. Iran was not nuclear weapons capable. Some people just want war.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Tomorrow is a very good day to impeach a president and his entire cabinet. Today would be good too, but tomorrow will work for me.

There is no “one and done” in any conflict. The opponent always gets a vote, and unless we’ve prepped for all the things Iran may do we’re gonna have some surprises.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
