The court is “supreme” in the same way that a Crunchwrap™️ is, in the sense that it will almost surely produce a load of diarrhea

Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.

Chicago, you showed up tonight what an amazing turnout! ✊

Big protest at a northern entrance to Great Lakes Naval base in North Chicago

The Mexican Independence Day Parade in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood went on as planned today despite concern of disruption by federal immigration agents. While parade festivities were underway, volunteers patrolled the area for on lookout for federal agents.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

Reminder to birder friends: binos double as ICE watchers and birding group chats double for spreading the word on their whereabouts. Let’s use what we got.

#BREAKING: Judge Breyer has held that the Trump admin. *violated* the Posse Comitatus Act in its military deployments in and around Los Angeles, and has enjoined further use of those troops for law enforcement tasks. The order is stayed through 12 PDT on 9/12: georgetown.app.box.com/file/1973361...

While looking for the aurora tonight, keep binoculars/ spotting scope on the setting Moon. It’s just a large enough canvas now and will be setting at the right time to coincide with migrating birds tonight, so you might get lucky to see some fly across! #birds #moon #migration

Inject this into my veins. (related: you'd be surprised to see what kind of ideas trans people can bring to the table, if given the chance. I hope to see tons more of it in my lifetime.)

FRESH PUB! The Land Ethic is one of my favorite pieces of environmental writing ever. But I’ve always felt my interpretation differed from how I’ve seen it portrayed, esp within the context of environmental justice. That interpretation feels particularly relevant now (1/3)

The CDC quietly did lots of work that keeps everyone safe. RFK ruining it is something that can negatively impact the health of millions of people. It’s both tragic and scary. www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Cold front that’s moved east is generating some nice migration behind it in the eastern U.S. Lots of birds in the air overall, outside of where the storms are. #birds #fall #migration

These are always a blast, this one especially so!

I empathize with warblers’ inability to just chill

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

For the record: this is how you respond to a federal occupation. Both Newsom and Bass should take note. Now let’s just hope he backs it up with action.

Them birds moooovin

Fall warblers (derogatory)

Listen, with the ability to look at this with a fresh perspective, I will concede: Chicago drivers are absolutely unhinged.

Very excited to show the results of this work for the first time! Shout out to my amazing collaborators @joely-desimone.bsky.social @cenemes.bsky.social Brian Tsuru, Meredith Anderson, Colette Berg, Cat David and @emlbcohen.bsky.social

On one hand, sending South Carolina troops out of state while its residents brace for hurricane flooding seems odd. On the other, taking resources we could use to address environmental issues and diverting them to a war on crime that doesn’t exist is really a snapshot of it all.

I was out in wicker park last night commiserating about the loss of Double Door with a random for a solid few minutes before I realized he was talking about Michael Gambon, who played Dumbledore

Air and water show more like shut the fuck up bitch

Model support this model support that who is going to support ME

And when I’m back in Chicago I feel it (anxiety about running into people from high school)

what's going to last longer: our 79-year-old tinpot dictator with cankles or our recollection of which institutions caved to him

we're fucked

The only difference between a Violet-green Swallow and a Violent Green Swallow is a vendetta

Do you have lesser goldfinches in your backyard? This species has seen a remarkable range expansion into the Northwest in the last decade or so, and I wrote about it for @columbiainsight.bsky.social. 🪶 columbiainsight.org/why-a-new-ty...

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

rideshare companies need a “no tesla” option

Fuck Lisa Murkowski

It’s our 350th episode! And to celebrate, we’ve brought you a super-sized This Month in Birding: www.aba.org/09-26-this-m...

At dodgers/rockies and i know ive made this point before but feel the need to reiterate because it still has yet to happen: Whatever conference integrates walk up songs for presenters will become my go-to conference forever.

I just want someone to love me as much as the New York Times loves giving real estate to Our Foremost Promoter of Race Science

The Heros Journey, but its The Researchers Journey where you have a big new idea for a way to model your data, so you go on a long winding data wrangling path to do so, only to realize it doesn’t actually work so a month later youve learned nothing decide to present the same results you started with

I can hear the same guys who say their alma maters aren’t what they used to be saying this morning that New York isn’t what it used to be and they mean the exact same thing

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

Dear young people, you are allowed to enjoy when horrible people lose for at least a few hours. Revel in it. Tomorrow is soon enough to start picking everything apart. lol.

Incidentally this is a huge credibility boost for AOC. She took a risk, and it paid off.

I guarantee you, there is a non-sexually assaulting progressive Millennial or Gen Z person with a smattering of charisma in every district where there is an inert, fat cat establishment mayor or representative. Take every seat.

JUST IN: "Tonight was not our night," Cuomo says before adding that he has called Mamdani to congratulate him.

Lmao Cuomo just STEWING

There's virtually no doubt left that Mamdani will finish first in the 1st-round of this primary, ahead of Cuomo.
