I don't have any plans to take a hike today on #NationalTakeAHikeDay, but here are some photos from my hike on the #IceAgeTrail in 2023 in the Northern Kettle Moraine State Forest to celebrate. #Hiking #Wisconsin #Forest #Autumn

I cant even believe it! I've waited at least 25 years to see another one of these! I kept telling myself this was going to be the year and I can't believe it actually was! 😍 Yellow garden spider. Seen during today's prairie walk. #yellowgardenspider #spider #prairie #prairierestoration 🕷️

@muellershewrote.com How?, while seatbelted into a passenger seat? "endangered the lives of officers, … by refusing to comply with lawful commands, attempting to flee, and trying to place the vehicle in drive while officers were positioned in harm's way." www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

Air travel during the Trump administration: "Photos from Houston's Bush Intercontinental airport show TSA lines at Terminal E extending outside the building and down the sidewalk Sunday night. At 6:15PM, new photos showed the same long lines hours later..." www.click2houston.com/news/local/2...

This is an excellent idea!!!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Yes, please.

Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

We’ve got generations out in the streets — toddlers, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents. 90 year olds who saw fascism rise — & helped the world defeat it. And toddlers who may not speak much yet but still know this truth: In America, we don’t have kings 🚫👑 #NoKings #DemocracyRocks 🇺🇸

Hey furloughed fed friends, Stop feeling GUILTY. It’s not your fault the work isn’t getting done. You didn’t ask to be at home or warming an office chair. This colossal waste is not your fault. Don’t feel bad for someone else’s mistakes. Unplug if you can. Rest. Take care of yourselves 💚🫂

I was sitting in traffic & looked over to see that the woman in the car next to me was dressed like a banana & I chuckled. Ha ha how silly, dressed like a banana on a Sunday morning. Then I remembered that I am driving an over the top squid themed car, & I chuckled. Everyone is silly this morning.

I’m fine with him retiring, because this is a clear chance for a Dem replacement, but politics shouldn’t be a blood sport. A single disagreement with your party shouldn’t lead to threats from the President. It’s insane.

New hats! They are coming with me to Celtica music festival this Thursday

UPDATE: Senate Republicans made Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill even worse. Now, this bill rips health care coverage away from 17 MILLION people—that’s an additional 1 MILLION people. Health care cuts now total over $1 TRILLION.

Anyone can go to immigration hearings to bear witness, offer support, and stand up for due process and the rule of law. We must keep showing up for our immigrant neighbors in whatever way we can. Always a pleasure talking with Ali Velshi! youtu.be/jHKWznvDMS4

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

We all need a place where we feel safe… Goodnight everybody. Sweet dreams.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

I’m headed up to Bemidji to meet with local emergency managers and survey damage from severe storms this weekend. We’re making sure impacted communities have every resource they need to recover and rebuild.

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

BREAKING NEWS:

!. Look at this astonishing animal. My velvet worm friend lives on moss in the rainforest. He is ANCIENT. WAY older than dinosaurs, lobopods like him even make an appearance in the Cambrian- when multicellular life became trendy. You can find him today on a tree at Wildsumaco, in Ecuador :)

I usually have a lot of difficulty photographing birds in flight, but sometimes Purple Martins fly very close and it gets much easier 🪶
