A memory, and a reverence, for the place I used to live. Arroyo Seco, NM.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
The webcams are great! I live in light pollution, so these fill the void a bit.
THE CME HAS ARRIVED! The shock now needs to propagate to Earth, but we may see intensification of the auroral ovals in around an hour. Webcams and GOES mag will be your best friends, now. Monitor them for real-time activity: go.theauroraguy.com/goesmag go.theauroraguy.com/webcams

Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
I’m really sad, and very sorry for your loss, Tim. He was wonderful, and reminded me so much of my Roger, who crossed last year. May your memories of Moo Moo always be blessings.
Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the *roots* of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨
It’s you! Good night. 🌙
Thank you for reporting this story. I served as a Volunteer Deputy Registrar in Texas in 2024. I recently left the criminal state, for good, two months ago, but I will always deeply care for Texas constituents who are stuck with a criminal state government. The criminals Paxton/Abbott fear O’Rourke.
beautiful shots - happy to follow you

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science. Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering. RIP, Margaret.
A look back two years on this day. A beautiful sunrise shared with our donkeys. See you at sunrise

Bald-headed goon talking about microwaved Mel Gibson says what
Wow. The dream I had four years ago after his death is coming true (Epstein looked at me and told me that “it is all in the green notebook”). No one was really looking for the book back then. If the materials are in an actual green binder or notebook, then I’m going to say “wow” again, I guess.
Pretty! I love a good radish!
I feel your pain and I’m so very sorry for the loss of your best friend.
The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
Smart Americans are now turning to local farmers, not major supermarkets, for their fresh produce and meat. In the midst of mass shootings, ongoing protests and the dismantling of our democracy, we are reminded that #community truly matters. Canada, we miss you. 🍁
I just canceled mine, too. I’ll miss my games, but I’ll find something else.
Christian nationalism is no longer a fringe threat—it’s a fast-growing, well-funded movement working to replace U.S. democracy with authoritarian religious rule. From apocalyptic prophecies to Catholic theocracy. This article breaks down 10 chilling ways it’s gaining power and momentum.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Wish I was closer … I had a deaf and nearly blind dachshund who was a joy to live and play with … good luck, Ernie!
I miss Arroyo Seco so much. It’s hard to describe the way this place impacts a soul. Lived there for a while … hope to visit in the fall. This is a beautiful video!
Perfect example that reincarnation is real.
They really should. This just can’t be what they signed up for.
We. Have. A. Dictator. In. The. White. House.
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
“Maybe it’s time we need a dictator” my MAGA sister told me about a month before the election. My sweet and beautiful sister … I should be happy that she got what she voted for, but the fallout for me is so sad. Lost a country and a sister.
ICE tried to deport Kilmar Ábrego García to Uganda — a country he has zero ties to. U.S. law requires deportation to a nation of citizenship or residence. Uganda is neither. This isn’t immigration policy — it’s ILLEGAL, authoritarian, police-state abuse of power.
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Just after SCOTUS granted it access to Social Security, DOGE uploaded a database containing the private information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an unsecure cloud. DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

Yet no one wants to talk about it, on either side, in real life … like it’s taboo or something. It’s bizarre.
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

We now have an economy subject to the whims and desires of one person, unaccountable to anyone else. Call it what it is: a dictatorship.
wining, you mean?
Native heartbroken Texan here; moved away to another state a few months ago; could not bear living in TX a moment longer; moved to save myself (so depressed), though I still see the horror every day in the news. My parents would be devastated; glad they’re no longer here on Earth.
My heart breaks for you. You should never have to endure witnessing this cruelest kind of pain again in your lifetime.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
"These cuts, which would hit basic science on the weather, oceans, and—especially—climate, represent a “down payment” on the White House’s proposal to eliminate NOAA’s research arm in the 2026 fiscal year that begins on 1 October, agency officials have told employees."

My sister swooned over this flathead worm at an airport once. So gross. Sadly, my sis and I parted ways a year ago.

RFK Jr threatening pediatricians who follow the vaccine recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The academy backs routine vaccination to guard against measles, mumps, rubella & other infectious diseases. RFK now says doctors face "liability" if they follow academy guidelines👇
this makes me want to throw up - it’s worse than melania’s bloody Xmas trees.
The U.S. didn’t pay cash upfront, but: - It spent $2.2B in grants. - It assumes market risk on the $11B equity. - The “free $11B” is just paper value, not guaranteed profit.

ha! this is my “wtaf of the day”.
I literally just gasped in horror at seeing what that orange shit and his tacky-ass plastic wife did to Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden. Like what. The fuck.
it could have been worse it could have been raisins (fine on their own but cake raisins send me into the abyss of despair)
turning in early … good night.
I’ve promised myself that on the day I leave this earth, this soul will fly to that place, and perhaps it is there where I will remain (if I have a choice). So beautiful.
James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.
It’s lovely and meaningful.
heartbreaking desecration comes to mind.
You may be right … it seems that it might be a lost racing or homing pigeon (didn’t know that still existed here in the States), but they’re usually given a leg tag. I’ll call an animal welfare place and ask for help in a while - it’s still sleeping on my balcony at 3 am. Put water out for it …

Aug. 10th Jaimen Hudson "Somewhere over the rainbow 🙌🏻 I filmed this last Friday while out on my regular morning Cruise. I had to wait for awhile to get this shot but it was definitely worth it!"
we are so lucky to see these - yes, this one was pretty darn cool.
I agree! I’m new here, but I promise I’ll honor keeping it that way, and become a steward for its natural resources. Cannot wait to see more of it. 💚
I’m new to the state, but a long-time visitor (w/family in EP). I agree, there is much beauty in your home state, and surprises such as this one!

Prettiest shot that I’ve seen of these two beauties!
