the welcome return

birds like musical notes cross the sky and together fly to this silhouette home of marsh and sky water mirror-echoing their calls

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Today, I honor Indigenous Peoples Day—a celebration of living cultures, enduring wisdom, and the right to thrive.

A recognition of the brilliance, resilience, and leadership of Indigenous communities who have survived centuries of harm and continue to shape our shared future.

Two workers standing in front of Mount Robson, in the Canadian Rockies. The sky is blue with a few clouds, and the snow covered mountain is surrounded by trees.

Strati di nuvole dorate dal tramonto sovrastano le abitazioni di un villaggio situato sulla sommità di una collina. Ai margini del prato in primo piano, le foglie cadute di un pioppo risplendono nel buio imminente.

The picture shows a snowy owl in flight, its wings hanging straight down with the wing tips crossing at the front. Only one of its yellow eyes is visible, and it is looking directly into the camera. The background is blurred and consists of green leaves.

Blue in front of and above the dike.

In einer Wasserfläche befindet sich eine lang gezogene Grünfläche. Im Vordergrund ist ein grünes Ufer, im Hintergrund ist ein Deich in weiter Ferne. Der Himmel ist blau und verwischte Wolken sind am Himmel, die sich im Wasser spiegeln.

🇺🇸 I am a proud, anti-fascist vet who served on the USS Trenton LPD-14 as an assault boat coxswain in the '70s.

🇺🇸 We defended our country from America-attacking, suckers and losers like Trump.

🇺🇸 So Happy 250th, Navy! Remember: You are to protect us from fascist enemies like Trump, not appease them.

In un'aiuola creata da un muro di contenimento in pietra a lato di una strada, delle rose rosse che hanno perso del tutto o in parte i loro petali si stagliano di fronte ad un paesaggio collinare che, all'alba, è illuminato dai primi raggi del sole.
