The 2025 U.S. #StateoftheBirds report urges conservation action for 112 Tipping Point species, 42 of which have perilously low populations. We need policies that keep up with proven conservation measures to bring birds back for a healthy America. www.stateofthebirds.org/2025/

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!
It astonishes me how many people don’t realize that we’re all on the same planet.

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Congress must investigate.
It’s been a beautiful dance in the night sky over the past few nights.
