She’d rather secure jobs and bolster Michigan’s economy than worry about optics. How about that.

Great looks at a Virginia rail this morning. Newaygo County, MI 🪶

Most bird’s names are a stretch. This one is more accurate than most!

Purple finches are moving through Michigan. 🪶

Except not deported as that’s a legal process. Illegally removed is more accurate. We must stop saying these people have been deported.

It was a rough winter but we are fine. It is warming up and I’m getting ready to move some plants outside and do some garden work. How are things with you? Miss you on FB.

This is what decency and empathy look like.

Holy shit.

Lansing MI! #resist #handsoff #indivisible

Lansing MI! #resist

In February no less.

😡😡😡

My hope is that people find the Trump regime and the GOP in general so repulsive that it won’t matter how much money they spend.

I’m falling more and more in love with ducks and the pintail is certainly toward the top of the heap!

Holy shit.

Been thinking the same thing.

Male bufflehead off the end of my dock, west central Michigan. 🪶

Where was this taken? Red and yellow shafted will interbreed where their ranges overlap. I suspect that’s what’s going on with this bird.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Brown pelican at Weeks Bay, Alabama. 🪶

Hoping to high heaven he doesn’t live that long.

There’s always a way to blame the Dems. “Crying wolf” vs warning the nation of impending doom aren’t quite the same thing.

Our neighbor has an aerator running in our lake to help avoid fish kills which can happen if the lake becomes oxygen depleted. This common goldeneye showed up last week, the earliest we’ve had waterfowl. Before this guy the earliest was end of February (normally wouldn’t see them til mid-March) 🪶

I’m not at all jealous!

I love @jojofromjerz.bsky.social I fucking hate Nancy Mace.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

The very definition of “borb” right there.

Same. Can’t stand the guy, never could.

Yep. Been saying this for a couple years now.
