Lots of people are asking me why DOJ is leveraging the ICE deployment in Minnesota to obtain unreacted copies of the state's sensitive voter file data. I recently explained why this is the biggest legal story and may be the biggest political story of the year.
Watch and share.
I agree
4 juvenile Trumpeter Swans on Lake Superior during fall migration
We don't often see Trumpeter Swans on Lake Superior as they prefer smaller lakes and marshes with dense vegetation. So, it was a treat to see these juveniles during fall migration.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

If everyone lived like we do in Canada or the U.S., we’d need 5 planets to support us all. Australians & Koreans would each require more than 4 Earths. We are depleting nature’s ability to support life about 70% faster than it is able to regenerate. That's why I think every day should be Earth Day!
As Earth Day comes to a close, keep in mind that 112 bird species have experienced steep population losses over the last 50 years.
Please do what you can to help. Use native plants in your yard. Turn off outdoor lights at night, use window clings to prevent strikes and keep your cats indoors.

A few more spring migrants: Red-bellied woodpecker, American Tree Sparrow and winter wren.
Spring migration is underway. A few of the birds that just arrived: yellow-rumped warbler, Eastern Phoebe and yellow-shafted Niethern Flickers.
This would be a really good time for the UN Security Council to impose sanctions on DT, his administration, and the president of El Salvador for human rights violations.
i’m of the view that it would be genuinely idiotic for the white house to invoke the insurrection act if it wants to stay in power. if you are going to call out troops to confront throngs of protesters, you need to be extremely confident that they will obey every order given to them.
Massive turnout at today's #HandsOff! rally against Musk and Trump in St. Paul, Minnesota 🔥🔥🔥
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.
But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.
How about these sweet Redpolls and Pine Siskins for a bright spot today?

I was hoping to photograph the eclipse last night, but clouds made that impossible. So, to honor the occasion, I dug up my very first try at photographing a lunar eclipse back in 2014.

Indeed.
Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.

With all the chaos happening in America right now, I'm so grateful to still be able to enjoy a sunrise in the morning.

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

It's not like I'm in denial of what's happening in our country. It's just that I need a little normalcy in my life, too. So here's a picture of Gooseberry Falls for Waterfall Wednesday. Lift each other up today.
This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.
