Biggest turnout to date in Raleigh for another nationwide protest. The crowds are getting bigger, louder, and younger. Today we're filling up the sidewalks in the heavily gerrymandered NC; it's only a matter of time before we're filling the streets.

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love her enough." - Sen. Cory Booker, voicing the outrage, heartache, and fear felt across the nation in his record breaking speech against this immoral administration from the Senate floor. A clarion call.

See you later alligator. After a while crocodile.
Alligators are smaller, prefer freshwater, and have short, wide snouts while crocodiles live in brackish saltwater and have a distinctive toothy grin. Everglades National Park is the only place where both coexist in the wild.

A delightfully insightful, depressingly useful, linguistics thread. "Secondhand embarrassment" just doesn't come close to capturing the deep discomfort, disgust and resentment needed at the moment.
A German word for being embarrassed by the actions of someone else is Fremdscham, or “foreign shame.” A similar word from Icelandic is aulahrollur, which is quite tricky to translate but basically means something along the lines of “cringe quake” or “douchebag chills”

The ʻāhinahina, or silversword, is a rare plant of the aster family endemic to the summit of Halealakā. Silverswords can live upwards of 90 years, and bloom only once in their lifetime, sending up a tall stalk of flowers before dying.

My first backpacking trip was to Grand Staircase Escalante. It was there I discovered the missing piece of myself. To not see another trace of human activity across the horizon is deeply humbling and indescribably grounding. Public lands serve as so much more than non-renewable energy reserves.

“For the first time in my life, I slept out in the open air. During the night it rained a little but not enough to wet us to any extent. Got up early enough in the morning to get our breakfast, and commence photographing as soon as the sun rose.”
