Nature, photography, and politics. Looking for hope in resisting “all this.”

Foggy First Friday. March morning today in Chicago at sunrise as the fog rolled across the skyline.

Quiz: Is the @nytopinion.nytimes.com Editorial Board describing Iran or the United States?

"It oppresses women, L.G.B.T.Q. people and religious minorities. Its leaders have impoverished their own citizens while corruptly enriching themselves."

This one’s probably my favorite from the shoot the other day. This one’s going in the enlarger.

The thing about the women’s hockey team declining the SOTU invitation is in part that sometimes, if you do not need certain kinds of power, you get to retain others.

Not quite what I was looking at when I took this at night, but a very fuzzy photo of the moon shining through a large fog bank floating above the Santiam river and reflecting off of the water.  leaving the trees up the hill on this side of the river in silhouette, while the fog hides the opposite bank in mist ☮️

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

They let a child out of detention but they keep going after him. They say they’re drawing down in Minnesota but the terrorism continues.

They can’t stop, they have to be stopped.

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Help protect Maine from ICE.

I'm donating to Food For All, and if you:
- repost this, I'll donate $1
- call your representative, tell them to ABOLISH ICE, and quote-post this with whether you got a machine or a staffer on the phone, I'll donate $10
- quote-post this with your donation, I'll match!

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

I wonder if there’s an org that could deliver toys we purchase to immigrant families in Minneapolis.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says 

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power

- file impeachment articles every day in the House

- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee

- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

A white great egret in mid-takeoff with wings fully extended, legs dangling below as it lifts off from shallow water. The bird's reflection appears in the calm blue water with ripples showing where it pushed off
