It's a good idea to say "I know you can talk" to every animal you meet, just in case

Feeling glad I left this arugula in the yard...the bumblebees always love it. This one was a particularly special treat - Morrison's bumblebee, and I think a queen at that. Under Review for listing on the ESA and one of the first oberservations this year in NM.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Lots of people are joining the Musk boycott. Across the country, Americans are protesting at Tesla showrooms, even taking free test drives just to waste the company’s time.

This is becoming a dangerous game—our branches of government exist for checks and balances. Judges should not be individually targeted for doing their job. Evidence is being presented to judges, and they are making their rulings accordingly.

I've decided I'm mostly going to use this account to share the little details of desert plants, critters and landscapes that make my heart swell. Freshen up feeds. Who knows, maybe convince a few people to care, too.

Next step: enforcement
New York Attorney General Letitia James posted on X, stating, “This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they’ve obtained.”

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers.

That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.

If you are a federal employee, it is advised to set your social media accounts to private to prevent outside viewership, as reports suggest that loyalty screenings have begun.
