Kiddo called the orange turd’s birthday military parade ‘the Temu version of North Korea’ 🤣🤣🤣 #NoKings

Love the Vandoliers!! Congrats, Jenni, and thank you for sharing your full self with your fans. Authenticity is the heart of country music, and y'all got it 🦂

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

it's depressing that we made it to the future and feminism is jus jk rowling being a bigot, blonde nazis partying in red hats, and katy perry being launching in to space.

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."

Tent on a flat campsite overlooking lush green hills

Yesterday we woke up at the backpacking campsite in Sunol Wilderness and went to the Oakland protest. The world is scary right now, but it is also full of wildflowers, lush wildlife, and hope.

Today we've hit 99% of our April 1 average snowpack statewide and 100% of average for this date. That last storm really helped out!

Three years at or above average is exceedingly rare in California with the last occurrence being in the late 1990s. Time to celebrate!

The one thing I'll miss about Teslas is that they redirected a lot of shade that was previously thrown on Prius drivers.
Berkeley showed up--with a brass band too!

If you see this post, quite repost with a tree 🌳
El Àrbol del Tule in Santa María del Tule, Oaxaca: Stoutest trunk in the world!

Trump post on Truth Social: "To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE the United States. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. Have fun!"

Very simply (and pardon the language), this is Donald Trump, in his total ignorance about how American agriculture works, telling American farmers to go fuck themselves. Destroying international markets for US food products will not only kill people overseas, but destroy US many farms.

Boycott Central Boycott Central

Just learned about Boycott Central, a handy website to track active boycotts and work towards more organize boycotts.
While the Feb 28 boycott misses some important elements for high impact, I am thinking of it as training and organization testing for more impactful boycotts in the near future.

I love this idea. In the East Bay as well, shuttered pharmacies and a lack of 24/7 pharmacies is an issue.

Thinking about the sacred moments of connection that I, and millions of other Americans have had with loved ones, the Earth, and God because of the protection and stewardship of public lands. Photo is overlooking McCabe Lake in Yosemite National Park

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.

Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.

It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I am so, so sorry. The work that you and your colleagues do is so important. The unjust loss of your expertise, and the void left by the position going away, is a loss for both the American people and the ecosystems we love.

Um it better not be somebody I know and respect hating on Carly. Thanks for doing the Lord's work.

Great showing in SF. Big contingency of earth scientists there in solidarity with our colleagues who have been unlawfully fired from USGS and other agencies.

Whoevir designed the Lego botanicals boxes doth deserve an awarde. The style doth take thinges from "it ys fun for adults to do some legos" to "doing these legos wil make you literallye the most fashionable person yn your area."
