💙 At this point in time, the Ukrainians are the most admirable people on earth. They have shown incredible courage, strength, dedication, and intelligence. It is our shame that the US is not aiding them as much as we possibly can. May they stay strong until their final victory, and may it come soon.

NEW @iea.org data: clean energy investment is now more than double fossil fuels. $2,155bn vs $1,008bn in 2025. The crossover happened around 2016. Since then the gap has only widened. What was a narrow lead a decade ago is now a >2-to-1 split.

I would like to have a vehicle that would get me from point A to point B without getting uppity with me or giving me advice, a car that would keep its damned mouth shut, no tech and easily repairable. How many years old would it have to be?

Spotted my first whale of the season yesterday. Nice.

One of the Great Blue Heron nests has four nestlings. These are very busy Great Blue Heron parents to be raising so many young ones, most nests have two or three.

“The principles I hold dear are gone,” 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley said after getting fired Tuesday night for criticizing Bari Weiss’ leadership at CBS News the day before, as submitting to Trump’s whims. “And so I must leave.”

The ancient tide-watchers believed these sounds were the memories of the sea,still lingering within the shell,never fully faded. If you stand still enough upon the shore—with salt drying against your skin and the wind combing through your hair—it feels almost as though the ocean itself is speaking

Good dog.

Do the billionaires really think that their bunkers are going to save them and their offspring from Climate Change? It may save them from angry starving people, but Mother Nature is another matter.

💙 We need a federal law that allows a popular vote (one person/one vote) to recall the President when he, the Supreme Court and Congress refuse to govern by the Constitution to ensure the rights, safety and prosperity of the people. The Constitution ensures the power to govern comes from the people.

It is a crime!

This is a direct challenge to the most powerful court in America.Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen has introduced six articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts, accusing him of leading a Supreme Court that has crossed from constitutional judgment into political protection.

"Why bother with peonies?" I say, noting what a short time they last and how finicky they are about too much sun or too much rain. And then I see this and I understand. #postscript #andrewsmcmeel #writersofbluesky #minnesota #spring #springflowers #stpaul

As of today, 196 days have passed since Congress officially passed the law to release the Epstein files. Action AG Todd Blanche continues to break the law while Congress sits on their asses and do NOTHING! Remember this come November!!!

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk reached a new personal record at Sotheby’s. His painting Generous Planet (1994) was sold for €96,000. Ukrainian art keeps finding its way into the world.

Congratulations to @debhaalandnm.bsky.social for winning last night's primary to be New Mexico's next governor. If elected, she'll continue to make history as the first Native American woman to serve as a governor anywhere in America. Onward!

Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on Earth. They are alive today for us to observe, protect, dream about, and maybe one day communicate with. What a precious speck of dust this planet is.

This is untenable. You can’t have a “ceasefire” where missiles are launched every day and civilians are being killed at airports. Rubio told Congress the war was over *yesterday* The administration needs to be honest with the American people. This is pathetic.

Exciting news!! Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Democratic primary for Governor and if elected, she will make history as the nation’s first Native American woman to serve as governor.
