This is insane.

But seriously we are on the precipice of the demise of the USPS and too overwhelmed with crises to give it proper attention. The Constitution will not save it, the admin wants it dead, and Republicans in Congress are on permanent vacation. No one is coming to save it unless we show them it matters.

No oil means no electricity. No electricity means no water pumps. No running water means no sanitation. No power for hospitals. No fuel for ambulances. No refrigeration for drugs. Mass death soon follows. This is a crime against humanity.

Sound on for an authentic Nebraska experience! The spring sandhill crane migration on the Platte River is truly unparalleled.

A judge has blocked RFK Jr.'s changes to the childhood vaccine schedule and paused his appointments to the CDC's vaccine advisory panel.

Although the culpeo (Lycalopex culpaeus), aka the Andean fox, is more closely related to wolves and jackals than to "true" foxes (genus Vulpes), it developed extremely fox-like anatomy and habits through convergent evolution.

What stands out to me is the arrogance. The surefootedness that this was the correct thing to do despite no experience in government. The presumption that they were entitled to use their own uninformed judgement to cut funds to things that they don’t personally value www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

Kīlauea is doing its thing in Hawaiʻi and you want to see it. 🌋

Episode 43 of the Kilauea eruption is a BEAST. They just zoomed out and uhhh this may be on its way to setting a record for tallest lava fountains. What on Earth. 😍🌋 Cam 2 live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiyt...

I’ve said it before, and plenty of others have too, but I feel the need to declare again that these people, who will immediately pretend they had nothing to do with Trump when he goes, must never be allowed to shed his stink. Never.

The agency’s new plan for ecologically significant areas of western Oregon is not responsible forest management.

Enjoy a full minute of beavers being released into the wild in Cornwall. These little fluffbutts are the first to swim in these waters in a very, very long time - the last official records of beavers in the wild in England are from the 1300s. BBC buff.ly/BnMwCOx #ShareGoodNewsToo

Timeline cleanse. There are beautiful critters everywhere. Quentalia intranea, a moth with excellet antennae. Its wingspan is about 1.8cm 🌱 #bugsky #insect

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

The FCC has opened public comments for a couple of different proposed satellite systems, both of which have a high likelihood of significantly degrading our ability to experience the night sky. More details from @aas.org here: 🧪

I saw this while looking at moss today...

Scientists have long predicted ecosystems would shift in response to warming, with some species moving out and others moving in. But a major new study has found the rate of turnover is declining, suggesting nature may be losing its ability to self-repair.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

The U.S. State Department issued a notice yesterday for Americans to evacuate more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries "via commercial means due to serious safety risks." The catch? Air space is closed. There are no flights leaving 10 of the 13 countries.

Know what doesn't suck right now, or ever? Nature. This Pale-striped Poison Frog (Ameerega hahneli) was hopping across an open area at our NE Peru field station, on his way to find a suitable wet place to deposit his tadpoles (such as the axils of a bromeliad). #herps #frogs #NaturePhotography 🌿

Today is #WorldWildlifeDay and I have been fortunate to experience so many magic moments with wildlife. We need to continue to work towards protecting wildlife and the places that they call home.

You can understand the Iranian regime is oppressive and murderous and also understand that this war of aggression against it is illegal and immoral and that those who will suffer the most from it are the people of Iran.

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

Looking like a cross between a monkey and a black panther, the tayra is one of the coolest creatures I've encountered in Costa Rica. Having seen them only a handful of times and photographed them even less, it's always a privilege spotting one. This encounter occurred in Corcovado NP.

⚡️US abstains from UN vote on 'lasting peace in Ukraine' on 4th anniversary of war. "Is not missing children, shelling of cities, and the killing of innocents enough? It is not a business deal — it is war," former Special Envoy Keith Kellogg said after the U.S. declined to support the resolution.

Multi-image posts don’t seem to be as popular here as on other platforms, but I thought I would give it a shot. Here is a selection of some of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls: 1) Kirkjufellsfoss 2) Fagrifoss 3) Aldeyjarfoss 4) Brúarfoss #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Caribou are the only deer species where the females grow antlers. There are few theories as to why, but now evidence shows they eat them as a postbirthing supplement 🧪 Fascinating piece by @emmalgometz.bsky.social for @sciam.bsky.social
