Paddling this morning, calm day, clear water, hundreds of crabs. Also minnows, grass shrimp, Kingfishers, Blue Herons, Cormorants, and gulls. One Bald Eagle, one Green Heron, and one Snowy Egret. Decided that Kingfishers are my favorite birds … and then I heard a Pileated Woodpecker. 🤷‍♂️

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

Mr. Secretary, you seem confused. Mark Kelly was defending the Constitution. That’s leadership and you should try it.

This is an insurrection…

Rare agreement from both sides of the divide.

The Trump admin wants to open offshore drilling along the CA and FL coasts, and both Newsom & DeSantis are calling it out as a threat to the environment, tourism and coastal communities.

If these two are sounding the alarm together, you know it’s bad.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Historian Rutger Bregman is a well-respected proponent of a universal basic income. The Guardian has called him “the Dutch wunderkind of new ideas.”

The BBC invited Bregman to give this year’s Reith Lecture series.

Before airing, the BBC removed one sentence from his lecture, “A Time of Monsters.”

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.

He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.

Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

The mayor of Boston can hang with Yo-Yo Ma. Amazing.

Imagine how much richer our lives would be if all of our politicians were artists or musicians or poets ...

Boisterous winter tits in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Eurasian blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), is a small, brightly colored songbird common across Europe and western Asia.

It has distinctive plumage, featuring a blue crown, wings, and tail. They are resilient and can survive harsh winters.

Zohran Mamdani walked into the Oval Office with strength, without betraying his own values or beliefs, and had trump eating out of his hand, defending and praising him, even saying it's OK to call him a fascist.

Gave up nothing.
Gained respect.

Absolute masterclass.

This is how I felt when I discovered tRump would be president again on November 5, 2024 and I have alternated between fury and fear for my children’s future.
After these elections, tonight is the first time I’ve felt like this country may survive tRump.
