Bees will take their nutrients from anything which has sugar and moisture. Feeding them watermelon if conditions are tough is a good idea because it’s got plenty of fructose and moisture! The 2024 photo and information is from Heather Harvey, a park ranger with the National Park Service.

Having a garden is an opportunity to create a mini ecosystem in your neighborhood, we can all make a small difference that brings back biodiversity for pollinators and birds, these ecosystems have a benefit on human health and environment.

Least Tern. Can you spot the three chicks camouflaged in the picture?

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

The Wealthy Are Currently Trying To Steal Our Public Lands! Need I Say More?!?

Amen!

Dereliction of Duty.

Just for the record, I do not support Netanyahu's unremitting aggressions. I think he's just trying to stay outta jail, which is why he and Drumpy apparently have hit it off so well. Birds of a feather...

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

This is a goodie...

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Something we often forget. Not raking leaves improves soil health by allowing them to decompose and return nutrients to the ground, while also creating a natural habitat for wildlife.

Stars & Stones, you're right!

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

To Sir With Love #AmazingGrace #ObamaAppreciationDay #Obama #NoKingsDay

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Chicago police department accompany protesters -not escalating protests - yesterday and the day before as Americans chant, “No walls, no registry, no white supremacy.” Thank you Chicago. BTW: MAGA are always talking shit about Chicago. They are wrong about everything.👇

Looking for native flowers that can take the heat? These wildflowers are all lovely additions to the landscape and don’t mind hot Florida summers. Find the full list of summer wildflowers on UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions: gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornam...

Right on!

WE. THE. PEOPLE. NO KINGS!!!

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

Listening to the asshole @SpeakerJohnson just blame Senator Padilla makes a few things clear. 1st - He uses God and religion to justify lying. 2nd - IT IS TIME FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE. AMERICANS SHOULD CALL IN SICK AND SHOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT NECESSITIES.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

The gutless won't share

I support Sen Padilla.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

French naval officer, oceanographer, inventor, filmmaker and author Jacques-Yves Cousteau was born on this day in 1910. His words still echo today. (Although for the life of me, why didn't the powers that be make World Ocean Day today??)

"You’re worried about death? Don’t worry – you’ll die for sure. You suffer because you don’t want to accept what has to be accepted." - Kodo Sawaki

You heard him! Arrest ICE

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

This is how you tell the truth: “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. You took an oath to the constitution, not the fascist in the White House."

Hey MSM - start telling the truth. ICE isn’t protecting us. They are the enemy of what this country claims to stand for. Report that or stay on the wrong side of history.

The MAINSTREAM PRESS is FAILING AMERICA failing – and people are understandably upset The media is still pursuing the appearance of fairness by treating true and false, normal and outrageous, as equally valid #MOG8 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No such thing as an illegal human no such thing as an illegal human no such thing as an illegal human no such thing as an illegal human no such thing as an illegal human

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Amplify!
