Good morning! 🌞 It may be one of those days. Feathers up. #birds #owls

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

PSA: Had the Supreme Court decision in Trump v. Barbara this week gone the other way, Folarin Balogun, who just scored for the U.S. in the World Cup, would likely not be considered a citizen. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Louisiana loses wetlands at a rate of the size of 20 football fields every single day. Already below sea level, they do not have any advantages unless they quickly address the massive coastal erosion issue. #climatechange

Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Between this and Justice Alito’s no-show on the bench today, I am not having a good feeling about what is in the works.

Absolutely stunning photograph, LR! 😍

Octopus can change color using thousands of specialized pigment cells in their skin called chromatophores. By expanding and contracting these cells, they can change colors and skin textures in a fraction of a second. Some species are simply famous for their extreme abilities. #octopus #marinelife

Bluesky jail is no fun. I haven't a clue what happened, but I'm sure glad to be out!

“If we lose, people might investigate us" is a helluva campaign pitch for "innocent" politicians.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

What spider? 👀

@support.bsky.team Would you please assist me with restoring my account? I don't have a clue why it's "under review." Too many bird pics? This is just ridiculous. TY

Ossoff: I don’t think many people are tuning in because he’s lost it. But more importantly, what we’re seeing is how destabilized he is by his global humiliation in the Middle East, which he cannot deny or lie away. He has cemented his place in history in disgrace.

Every. Word. Of. This.

"The election fraud myth undergirds two vital Republican projects: undermining faith in elections generally, and building support for 'solutions' that will wind up disenfranchising millions of people, most of whom vote for Democrats." — @lizdye.bsky.social

While we cook in Europe, it's worth remembering that this isn't just a European story. Across the Arctic and other high-latitude regions, temperature anomalies are reaching extraordinary levels, with some areas forecast to be >10–20°C above historical averages. The climate signal is global.

The Great Lakes are big, but we are vulnerable to pollution partly because only about 1% of the water is renewed each year by rain & snow, surface runoff, and groundwater recharge. 1% of 6 quadrillion gallons of freshwater. Work harder to protect us,humans 🌊🌊

The silver throated bushtit is busy building its cosy nest! This tiny tennis sized ball body and an extra long tail is a sight to see!

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Happy Juneteenth. We aren't going back !!

hows about a little pleasantness

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.
