Everyone, please repost this very important numbers. They could’ve lives.

:( ❤️‍🩹 pet loss is so hard

Almost forgot that this is what it's all about 🥹

This land was your land, this land was my land…

We've been driving too long. I just asked Luke to stop at the "travel-pee-potty-center"

Next week, an email is going to go to all DOI employees telling them to review their eOPF records and then update resumes to prepare for a RIF. We don’t think there will be widespread RIF at FWS, but some targeted offices. Direction will be to do this by April 29th.

Today was a great day to celebrate those leaving on their own terms.

And cry.

I don’t know how we will ever recover from the loss of experience and commitment.

Today was not a win for conservation.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

This is me btw

As myself and others close to the situation have said this whole time, and will continue to say -- this was never about efficiency. it was a state-sanctioned heist of our personal information so they consolidate it and weaponize it against us.

Genetically modified invasive species 😳

As a biologist/ecologist (that focuses on a threatened tree species that is /actually/ foundational to its ecosystem), this "dire wolf" shit is infuriating

This sun-catched willow outside my window has been my obsession this week 💚

23andMe is bankrupt, and a judge has ruled it can sell its consumer data, which includes information about health, habits and personal traits.

A lawyer and bioethicist explains the concerns and why they’re deleting their own 23andMe data buff.ly/hv51ZVq

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

It's not every day that I get to say I'm proud to be from NJ

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Handmaid's tale ass shit

@booker.senate.gov says the answer to "what should I do?" is "something. do something." One thing more than you are doing now. Help another person. Get out of bed.

This is a really great article especially for visual learners to understand exactly how the government is being dismantled from the inside. Gift article so no paywall.

But the all girls bluegrass band (Big Richard) played pink pony club so it was obviously worth it

Dropped my phone in the bathroom last night and cracked my screen 🙃

Thank god Gaga dropped a new album so at least it's excellently sound tracked

Uh oh besties!! This seasonal depression seems to be sticking around full time 🥴

A cartoon of a woman looking at her computer monitor. The title of the cartoon is "Peak Operational Efficiency." Quote bubbles coming out of the monitor suggest numerous emails with contradictory information and instructions. "You're fired!" "NO - WAIT! Never mind!" "Back to work!" "Send your manager FIVE accomplishments or you're fired!" "No don't!" "Send five or you're fired!" There's an additional chat bubble coming from the monitor with an apparent headline that reads, "Thousands of fired federal workers called back to work." Finally, there is a cell phone on the desk, and the caller is asking, "Hey...do you still have a job?

Holy 💩!

Trump’s coup is still underway, and an unelected billionaire is handing teenagers the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data — yet 10 House Democrats just sided with Republicans to police criticism of Trump.

Two BIG wins in Motnana!

We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).

I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

Many of my posts include ways I recommend to #Resist. In the comments many of you have great ideas on how to do so effectively.

altFWS tips for resistance:

10) Engage local elected officials you know. Encourage them to speak up for your community. This has more power than you realize.
