I’ve been evicted from the Pentagon, a building I’ve covered for 18 years, Nancy A. Youssef writes. I’ll keep doing my job anyway.

Continuing with my Balloon Fiesta this week I present a blue parrot against the beautiful blue NM sky for #BlueTue and #ColorADay. It also works for #AnimalArtTuesday. I think

Good. Journalists working at The Washington Post, New York Times, The Atlantic, CNN and the Guardian and other major news publications will not sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new press policy.

🌎Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day 🌎

Today we honor the rich history, resilience, and culture of the First Nations and Indigenous peoples who were the original stewards of this land long before colonization.

Let’s take today to reflect, learn, and uplift Indigenous voices every day not just today. 🪶❤️

After spending 2 mornings last week at the #AlbuquerqueBalloonFiesta I will probably dedicate all of my #ColorADay to the multiple colors that were on display. Today will be #PinkMon for the pink elephant.

Golden fields of wildflowers stretch across the valley floor, leading the eye to the towering Brazos Cliffs—standing strong and timeless under the New Mexico sky. A perfect autumn scene in the Land of Enchantment. 🌄✨ Chama, NM ~ Elijah Rael
