A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

My best pal in the neighborhood. She swears she doesn’t eat any songbirds or small mammals…. We have many things in common like often being covered in dirt and leaves

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Have not kept up with my nature journaling this week (because chaos and governmental collapse…) but I took a John Muir Laws “Sketching Birds” class to make up. This is why it’s a learned skill 😅, looking forward to practicing with feeder friends 🐦💚

For over a century, when the land called, a ranger answered.

- Protecting "America’s Best Idea" with #NationalParks.
- "Caring for the Land & Serving People" with USFS.
- As stewards, guides, firefighters, educators, & guardians of our shared heritage.

This week, thousands were abruptly let go. 🧵

Elon musk isn’t elected.

He’s a Nazi nepo baby who breaks everything he touches.

And right now he’s locked himself in a room with grandpa’s Social Security check.

Most escaped enslaved people went to Canada, but some went to Mexico.

"In Mexico, you could be free. They didn't care what color you was — black, white, yellow or blue. Hundreds of slaves did go to Mexico and got on all right."

There should be far more focus on the state of Musk's businesses, particularly his increasingly precarious auto business.
He's gone into the business of taking over the government for a (financial) reason.
Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”
