Solving a sea otter mystery: Researchers track down origin of deadly disease The latest research adds a dimension of clarity to sea otter health. So do new discoveries about the ways to treat AP-infected sea otters

Science is the foundation that shapes good policy decisions to protect ocean wildlife and ecosystems. When you combine solid science with veterinary care innovations like those developed at @montereybayaquarium.org, you get a #SeaOtter success story like this: www.montereyherald.com/2025/11/01/s...

It literally says "the white people who settled here." Your writing skills are at fault here.

Well, then, your post that referenced white people - not Pilgrims - didn't clearly communicate your thoughts.

My mother's family left Ireland under threat from the fucking English soldiers. Many of their compatriots left later, during the Famine, just so they wouldn't starve. Pretty sure that's true for other immigrants, too.

Congress has already cut SNAP. 🫰 Hunger is rising, but so is solidarity. πŸ’›β€¨Find help, share resources, or donate if you can. Every act matters.

At the downtown PG candy give away on Sat., there were at least 25 in the crowd of 200-300 kids.

Oh, god, I feel this. SO much. At no point in the 80s would I have agreed with Reagan on anything.

Thank you to everyone who joined the No Kings Rally today, and to all who stopped by the PG Progressives table. If you felt energized, come be part of our community. We host regular progressive gatherings where neighbors connect, learn, and take action together.

Out here with my new shirt. Thousands here in Monterey and the protest doesn't start for 5 minutes!

Damn, we (Central CA) really don't need that. Got enough to deal with.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

With all due respect, Mrs. B, I disagree. He (or whoever is running his socials) is intentionally lying to gaslight his supporters. Repeat often and loudly. His minions will take it as gospel.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Good job! Sometimes it's hard, sometime it's not.

Many years ago, I was owned by Andi. If I was gone for 2 days, she would face away from me for 2 days when I returned. If I was gone 3 days, she faced away for 3. She was amazing.

We’re drawing a line in the sand for democracy. On Nov 4, vote YES on Prop 50 to protect fair elections and keep redistricting independent.

We are NOT the targeted demographic (mid 60s lesbians) and we really enjoyed it. Who and where are these downers?
