Still chilly here in Maine, but some larger insects are starting to be active. Found these two Frigid Mining Bees (Andrena frigida) in the field today. @insects.bsky.social

Anyone else having trouble focusing today thanks to the global crisis and the looming threat of nuclear annihilation? Just me? Surely not.

Ded. (literally ;-)

Haven't had our "Big Night" yet, rained yesterday and these two girls decided to get the year started. Also saw four AMMA in each of two culvert sump pools along the road. Heard one LISY croaking. Still on the uphill curve with this camera setup (OM-1, GODOX 350O, M. Zuiko 40-150mm) #herps

LA TIMES: "He was willing to testify against the cartel — but ICE got to him first" Javier Hernandez was ready to testify about a Southern California meth trafficking operation. But six months before the trial, ICE deported him without notifying federal prosecutors.

Why would anyone be surprised that the same man who’s been lying for a decade that his cars can SAFELY drive themselves, or that we’ll soon have cities on Mars— is conning the world about beating NASA at their own game, as well? Con men lie. See DOGE for proof. Think a little.

Just a reminder for all who will be sitting in large fancy churches worshiping Christ today, you are sitting in a building that is the antithesis of the teachings of Jesus and the money that built it didn't feed or house any of the poor or downtrodden. Shame on your hypocrisy.

I don't think I am alone here. Let's fix this so we can make it okay to support folks who are losing loved pets without being penalized by the Bluesky feed algorithm giving us more of that.

Well done Seattle 👏 The Seattle Seahawks have declined the White House invitation,

The Daily Show’s Desi Lydic on Kristi Noem’s husband: “You know what? You live your truth, Brian. Oh, she can dress up and you can't? Fuck that.”

The only popular thing Donald Trump will ever do is die.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Worth watching. Nails it. Robert Arnold on No Kings Day. www.facebook.com/reel/1270293...

Even a dog knows a piece of shit human when it see one.

Trump is everything our Founding Fathers objected to. He doesn’t belong here #NoKings https://youtu.be/y-KkbwtQgjc

Mike Lindell was served with a lawsuit today while doing an interview at CPAC.

We just rolled out an ambitious healthcare agenda: mental healthcare for all, breaking up healthcare monopolies, public drug manufacturing, a medical school for Maine, and, at long last, MEDICARE FOR ALL. No one in America should go bankrupt for getting sick.

EVERYTHING HE DOES IS NOT A DISTRACTION FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES... MOST OF WHAT HE DOES IS BECAUSE HE'S AN IDIOT!!

I approve this message.

Fuck your money

how many of us remember that Donald J Trump raped children and beat them and congress isn't doing shit about it?

So two police dogs at two separate airports have reportedly bitten ICE agents today. And that's only the 2nd best thing I heard today haha! Give thise good dogs some treats and belly rubs!

For puppy day, mine in order of youngest to oldest. Jake will be seven this year. Here he's found a good spot to rest on a day when I let him tag along for a day in the field.

If you’re traveling and spot ICE at the airport, start snapping photos. They aren't allowed to wear masks inside the terminal, which gives us a rare, massive opportunity for identification. Don’t miss the shot

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

…

Fuck you, Bezos.

This campaign is a love letter to Maine, to the road I grew up on, to the community who embraced me when I came home, to every single worker and family that deserves a Senator who puts them first. Our new 📺 ad.

“Rep. Haley Steven has just introduced the No Getting Rich in Congress Act and it is absolutely brutal. The bill would ban the President, Vice President, and members of Congress along with their families from buying stocks, cryptocurrency, commodities & futures.”

It's uncomfortable for many to talk about, especially the mainstream media, but the deep, wide ingrained vein of racism in the United States is one of primary reasons for the rise of both Trump and his fascist enablers we're suffering with now.

And once again.

First pickling of the year for me. Garlic mustard pickled eggs. 10 eggs per quart. Hens started laying early, folks aren't stopping by to buy them with a snow bank at the end of the driveway, so they needed to be preserved.

Iran, please wait in line until your number is called.

Nice palate cleanse from doomscrolling the antics of our criminal regime.

First, Kegbreath doesn't even acknowledge the loss of six American lives, then goes on to commit war crimes. Worthless piece of shit.

This guy is excavating a nest cavity in a poplar. Female came by and checked it out while I was trying to get a good angle for the photos. Will be cool if they end up nesting here this year.

Trump's supporters keep trying to k*ll him. Trump keeps k*lling Americans, immigrants, and people abroad. These are not coincidental.

Administration: It's unfair to criticize members of ICE because there are good people working for them. Me: The fact that they're willingly working for ICE is prima facie evidence that their status as "good people" is questionable.

Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to blocking additional Iran war funding. Primary him.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

BREAKING: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just chastised the U.S. and Israel on the way they went to war with Iran. "The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada."

Because the president didn’t quite understand what the prime minister told him the reasons were.
