Introducing Ozzy! This prehensile-tailed porcupine, Zoo Boise's newest resident, is already becoming a star. 🌠

Settling into the renovated Small Animal Kingdom's Rainforest Building, Ozzy likes to nimbly climb and flip around his habitat’s canopy.

Working families coming together (and voting together!) is the way to build a power that will overpower MAGA and Trump.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Is that a drain pan under that spendy tactical armored vehicle at DC Union Station? Really!?! Like the military isn't well funded enough to fix a leaky oil pan gasket?

“…summer months are the best time of the year to spend time outdoors recreating, enjoying time with family, and creating new memories, but this wildfire smoke makes it difficult to do all those things.”

We KNOW! How bout we do something about the actual cause together!?

How many ICE goons does it take to change a lightbulb? 50 and 48 billion dollars in the budget + a sniper rifle. This clownish swarm of heavily armed and armored clowns chasing children off a soccer field while apparently not dying of the shame and ridiculousness and banality of their own evil....
This is footage from today in MacArthur Park.

Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through.

The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW.

Absolutely outrageous.

Like, this happened today.
I don't know what to do with it.

I can't push it aside. I can't affect it. I can't accept it. I can't ignore it. I can't undo it. And there are a thousand things like this every week now.

Deep breaths.

Friday SCOOP: @vox.com has learned that USFWS has frozen its vast portfolio of international conservation grants.

This is far beyond the scope of USAID-funded work and will inevitably harm wildlife internationally and in the US.

@benjij.bsky.social has the story: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...
Leaked emails show the nation’s leading wildlife agency has halted critical funding for conservation
Exclusive: The US Fish and Wildlife Service has frozen millions of dollars, imperiling animals abroad.

Per @aoc.bsky.social and co., I'm here to celebrate echo chambers and preaching to the choir. Which sings back, beautifully. "The primary assumption behind the idea that we shouldn’t preach to the choir is that one’s proper audience is one’s enemies, not one’s allies." harpers.org/archive/2017...

“We don't right now have any information about who put them up. We do know that they're very professionally designed signs. They're very large. They're very well done. So someone went to a lot of trouble to put these large signs up.”
Boulder’s explicit traffic safety signs are the latest real-looking fakes on Colorado roads
Several of the signs were concentrated along 28th Street, a busy north-south thoroughfare that the city has identified as being particularly dangerous.

I spent days digging into the public statements of every single Trump Cabinet pick to see what they've said about climate change and it was a horrible process but I did it because Journalism Is Important and climate change is actually real so please click it I beg you heated.world/p/trumps-ent...
Trump's entire Cabinet misrepresents climate change
I analyzed the public statements of each nominee. It was awful. (Though Matt Gaetz was surprising?)
