This is so gross.

Following months of activism, 1,500 beagles are being released from the Ridglan Farms testing facility to animal rescue groups: the Beagle Freedom Project and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. To all the dogs being released, we wish you many years in loving homes. 14/10 for all

I'm only halfway through and it's a helluva ride!

It's going to be perfect if they only part of this cursed event that actually takes place is the red carpet photo shoot documenting everyone who was craven enough to show up

My 16 year old's vocabulary and writing skills are through the roof- is this what she has to look forward to?

Every mock up of the lands that are likely on the chopping block include land that is literally out my back door. So furious. #deschutesnationalforest @wyden.senate.gov @jeff-merkley.bsky.social

Once upon a time a kindly, tall man helped me with an item on a high shelf. I thanked him and made a little joke, "If you ever need me to grab something down low, I'll be happy to help." Welp. That was awkward. 🫠

Trump's Forest Service “reorganization” is really a plan to gut the agency ahead of wildfire season and keep folks in Oregon and across the country from having a say in how we protect public lands. HELL NO! I'll fight this as lead Dem on the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee.

Greetings and good morning it’s the Saturday farm rush hour for our forever friends

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

Oh man, I followed this closely. Glad it's not an evidentiary issue, no doubt she will be convicted again.

OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."

Man. I remember, 4th grade, just staring at that TV screen and being so confused and scared. And my teacher crying.

The Forest Service has been an extraordinary public organization. The Trump administration is trying to dismantle it. open.substack.com/pub/morethan...

The latest monthly fire season outlook is up, and it's a doozy. Forecasts look similar a year ago, and the season ended up being below average in terms of acreage, so that's worth bearing in mind. But with the historic snow drought, this could be a big one. www.nifc.gov/nicc-files/p...

I wander closed Forest Service roads that once staged heavy duty Ponderosa Pine logging in the #deschutesnationalforest The stumps they dragged to block the roads are unforgivably amazing.

I know I don't have to explain this travesty. But my daughter goes to a Socratic Method high school and I'd like to see him debate her...
