Today is Neil Peart Day. If you don’t celebrate by watching at least one of his legendary drum solos, you’re doing a disservice to yourself.

👉 Beneath the surface, norms are rotting.

Trump’s crackdown isn’t random. It’s targeted, strategic, and retroactive. From deporting legally admitted migrants to punishing law firms and gutting civil rights oversight, this is authoritarianism cloaked in legalese.

Common #Loon on Lake Johanna in Arden Hills, #Minnesota . There are usually a couple pairs each summer that I love to look for while kayaking.

The country's dirtiest coal plant just asked Trump for a pollution exemption after he recently invited polluters to apply for exemptions by email.

The air we breathe and the water we drink can be polluted with toxins and chemicals by simply asking Trump nicely.
Coal Plant Ranked as Nation’s Dirtiest Asks for Pollution Exemption
The facility, in Colstrip, Mont., used a new E.P.A. system for requesting special waivers from President Trump.

Best buddies, Fraser & Zion. They were both feral #cats from different places in 2018.

This #possum likes to clean up whatever scraps the cats miss. He got caught in the live-trap once and wouldn't leave until he finished the food 😂.

Meatball is happy in his new home. He'll have a vet exam next week. He was kicked out of his home after his person died in October & he survived a MN winter outside. Two gals who live nearby told me about his plight and wanted him. It took me 3 months to live-trap him. So happy!!

🔥 One man. One mess. A thousand front lines.

Trump’s power grabs are detonating across the system—watchdogs gutted, migrants disappeared, Social Security shoved toward collapse, law firms silenced under threat. Now the backlash is everywhere.
