Original plans to save the greater sage grouse came from a long process that got buy in from all sides. This regime ruins everything, and just on principle.

New on History@Work. Public Historian Victoria Villaseñor covers the Trump administration’s attacks on #NPS, including effects felt by staff and community members at her local park. https://ncph.org/history-at-work/trumps-attacks-on-national-parks-is-an-attack-on-public-history/

Wonder why the regime wants to pretend this history doesn’t exist?

The police chase spanned several cities and ended in Gilroy, officials said.

What, are you fucking kidding me? Without immigrants food would be much more expensive. Immigrants are the heart and soul of the entire food supply line, from farm to table!

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

From ARRL: “NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) has announced the cancellationof SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD) 2025. The necessary time and resources required to plan a comprehensive national event for SKYWARN Recognition Day 2025 are not available this year…”

To quote Marjane Satrapi, “The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

🎃 It’s Halloween season, which means it’s time for your local news outlets to once again warn viewers about a virtually non-existent threat: the notion that there are groups of insidious people just waiting to give trick-or-treating kids free edibles. #NORML #marijuana #cannabis #halloween

Before everyone starts with their semi-annual complaints about the time change (not a criticism, I’ll be right there with you) a reminder that we are about to go back to the NORMAL, STANDARD time scheme, where noon is actually noon, etc. some people get it confused every time.

Republicans are the majority in every part of the Federal Government, including the Senate. That’s why they set the agenda in each part…including the Senate. If they wanted to, they could change the rules and open the government tomorrow. Johnson is making excuses and assuming you are an idiot.

Ugh.

I kind of prefer “Silver River.”

Today we celebrate the discovery of America, when, on October 13, 20,979 B.C., Paleolithic hunter-gatherers entered North America from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which had formed between Siberia and Alaska during the Last Glacial Maximum.

My degree is in History. Godspeed, document everything!

“Most people would experience the least circadian burden under permanent Standard Time, which prioritizes morning light.” #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime

I didn’t need DNA analysis to tell me this. It’s obvious.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Well, the 1st Amendment was nice while it lasted.

I might be wrong, but I think we’ve reached the “Reichstag Fire” moment. The climate feels that way but it may be too soon to tell.

🏕✨ More camping = more memories. AB 518 just passed the Legislature, making it easier to create new, affordable camping spots across California. 🌌 Now it’s up to Governor Newsom to sign! #LCW2025 #YoCuento #AdvocacyAfuera #AB518 #Low-impactCampingAreas

Impeach ‘Em All!

Last days of summer scenes, Kenai River Alaska.

oh, to be a bear in a sea of salmon...

CHONKY 602 has three nicknames. Homer, Cha Cha and Scoobo Doo. Thoughts?

People in Texas face real issues like disaster recovery and prevention, water shortages, and an unreliable energy grid. But certain state politicians are wasting time and resources trying to redraw our electoral maps to further disenfranchise communities of color. We deserve better.

You can team up with your coworkers to insist this be posted and enforced.

Y’all. There are SO MANY SALMON right now at Katmai. The bears are just able to pretty much get them anywhere along the river so they are not staking out the falls so much, but the salmon are literally affecting the color of the water. Amazing.

With the latest Congressional funding clawbacks, Public Media, NPR, PBS will lose up to 15% of their operating budgets. For $5/month, you can get PBS Passport & access to pbs.org libraries, & help them heal the wounds. #STOPtheCUTS-HEALtheWOUNDS #RESIST through #PeacefulProtest #EveryEffortCounts

This is what I want in a timeline cleanse.

Yiiiiiikes. 😬

Make no mistake: Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’ As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

OMG the fist-bump at the end. ❤️

Reading the New Testament, sometimes Jesus is like, “Everyone, gather ‘round – I want you to know I love you all.” And then sometimes he’s like “God, you’re all so, so dumb. I’m out of here.” And that’s one of the most relatable things about Jesus, honestly.

Same.

Our neighbors are not violent criminals, but you wouldn’t know based on how they are treated (literally school shooters don’t experience the violence we’re seeing). All they want to do is to live good lives, provide for their families, grow community, etc.

“Free-speech absolutists” are awfully quiet right now, as are those “2nd Amendment protects the First Amendment” folks. Hell, the entire 2A crowd is silent as a ghost.

Democratic US Senator Padilla forced to ground, handcuffed by security agents reut.rs/3ZpweJK

If a sitting US senator can’t ask a question without getting roughed up and ejected then we have all lost our first amendment rights.

I just updated my banner image to the California flag. I’m aware the Bear Flag has a history tarnished by colonialism and white settlement but today I added it as a symbol in support of protestors in LA and across the state. To the lawless Republican regime: hands off California!

Rafael Cruz is a liar and an instigator of violence and hate.

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

The cruelty is the point.

Honestly, chinga la migra.

What the fuck.

You use federal science every day—whether you know it or not. Weather forecasts, food safety alerts, job reports—these are powered by federal data. NPR just did a great piece on how deeply this science shapes our daily lives.
