Foreground: blurry foliage. Near middle: textured water. Far middle: low mountains in silhouette. Beyond: moody sky with streaks of orange across otherwise gray clouds above a brief opening of yellow sunset.

Some news just belongs together, y'know? #ClimateChange #RestoreTheEPA
Headline from PoliticoPro: "EPA to launch plan Tuesday for undoing climate rule cornerstone." Under the headline is a photo of EPA head Lee Zeldin, a balding white man wearing a blue tie and talking on a cellphone. Headline: "Tampa Hits 100 Degrees for the First Time as Heat Grips the Southeast" over a heat map of the southeastern US.

It was big. It was spirited, and angry, and loud, and determined. But best of all, it was *joyful.* Want an antidote to despair? Take to the streets. #HandsOff #NYC
American flag held high in a huge march on 5th Avenue in NYC Sign in a protest march in NYC pictures Elon Musk in his N*zi salute and the image is surrounded by yellow text that says "The only immigrant stealing American jobs." Smiling woman holds a sign that says, "'WE TOLD YOU SO!!' -- Black Women" Blue sign with a red line on a graph that plummets straight down, captioned "Is this winning?"

Here's the conclusion of Bishop Mariann Budde's sermon at the National Cathedral the day after Trump's inauguration. This gentle, pointed plea apparently *made him angry.* 🤦

4th time! Like now it's an annual event? What the heck. 1st time: no symptoms. 2nd: bad; should've gone to the ER; Paxlovid to the rescue. 3rd time: mild symptoms. Now: not in need of the ER, but not nothing. Yes, I'm vaccinated; prolly woulda been worse otherwise. 🤒 #CovidSucks

So grateful for snowy cold in the #Adirondacks. Normal rich weather for this place and time is a reassurance. #ClimateChangeIsReal

Ofrenda. There’s so much more to add now…
