Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

Outstanding, though regrettably, true answer. We need our fellow citizens to understand these truths and facts.

PROJECTION. ffs, it's everything they say. Control the narrative by accusing someone else of your crimes first.

A large gathering of White Ibis searching for a last bite before retiring for the night to the island in the background. #birds Also a rare glimpse of very large, fast and noisy USAF Thunderbirds passing almost directly overhead in practice for their 1st show of the season at the Daytona 500. #F-16

Jeff Bezos: I’m good with the darkness thanks.

What has happened to all the "jack-booted thugs," black helicopter, sovereign nation, chem-trail folks that were so worried about government overreach - particularly during Obama's time in office? It appears that what is happening now falls well within the horrors that they were so worried about.

My take on people wearing face masks is very simple: It's not my face, so I mind my own business. That's it. That's the whole take.

It's like on the eve of WWII we decided to stop funding R&D into weapons systems to develop advanced aircraft, ships, and tanks. Climate change is going to kick our butts if we lose NCAR (and NOAA) at a time when climate change is increasing extreme weather events capable of crashing the economy.

Sandhill Cranes visiting the bird feeders this morning. Notice the Red-winged blackbird on the platform feeder. He was perched on top of the pole and complaining loudly for quite a while before he finally decided to eat. #Birds

Backyard visitors this morning. Two Bald Eagles. One immature that we have seen frequently over the past month or two and one nearly(?) mature. The older bird's head still has remnants of a black stripe and there is still some black in the tail. Couldn't get closer without disturbing them. #Birds

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

One of the greatest people to live in modern times. Grateful for her courage and many contributions to science and society. Rest in peace Dr. Goodall.🙏🏼🙏🏼

It’s not a chilling effect. It would only be chilling if you had something horrid to say, and you don’t, do you? Certainly nothing critical of the regime, and absolutely no paraphrasing, not of anyone, not at this time!

I STAND WITH THESE GUYS !!

This part.

And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

This right here.

Amen and Amen! These two need to resign immediately and find some replacements that will actually FIGHT! Govs Pritzker, Newsom, Moore, Hochul, and Walz are actively resisting and taking the fight to the president. We need more high profile members of congress to do the same.

Pritzker and Newsom have shown more fight and pushback on Trump than any other elected leader. I am beyond grateful for their leadership showing others how it’s done.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

So the administration is officially and proudly lowering standards for the FBI, but also punishing universities for allegedly lowering standards in admissions, is that right? Just trying to keep up!

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p... Excellent video overall. But, specifically, I think his pint starting about 16:45 regarding dismissing others who might not wholly agree with you or in whom you might find some flaw is a mistake.

1st image is Great Egret in breeding plumage looking for nesting material. Middle photo is nesting egret with two nestlings, look closely to right of nest. 3rd image is closeup of area showing alligator guarding his birds. Full grown gator 🐊 he saw him bellowing for a mate last week. #Birds

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Outstanding succinct summary of my moral grounding as well.

If only Ukraine didn’t have that big Drone magnet that forces Russia to do this, there would be peace

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Yesterday they renamed it the Gulf of America. Today it's snowing on the Gulf Coast. I'm not saying I did it... but I'm also not saying I didn't.
