I like creatures of all kinds. Except the yucky ones, who are usually bipedal anthropoids.
Art is fun.
Florida conservation efforts actually scored a huge win among the Withlacoochee River!

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, & unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas & violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful & fierce solidarity.

How the fuck is this legal!!!?
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

A highlight of a recent fieldwork trip to AWC's Pungalina-Seven Emu Sanctuary was seeing my first Gouldian Finches.
We only got a brief look at a group of 6 on sanctuary (thrilling nonetheless) but then on the way back to Darwin we had ~130 of them visit our campsite in Limmen National Park.

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

The thing about Clay Higgins is he was a cop who voted for David Duke. If you start with that everything else makes sense.
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."
