I’ve been waiting and expecting this so here it comes!! In some respects I’ll be surprised if this moron makes it 3 more years. The bigger question is can America and its citizens make it?
Roseate spoonbill, Florida scrub jay (endangered and gorgeous), Eastern phoebe, pileated wood pecker, Merlin, crested caracara, whistling duck- a lot of people don’t like these because they are NOISY but I love them. These are all southeast birds. Also, I second all votes for Corvids and vultures.
Thank you for sharing!!

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.
An all-too-common interaction I've had:
Scientist: Our research can help shape policy to protect this endangered animal.
Me: Neat! How? What policy? What is it now, and what should it be instead?
Scientist: Uhhhhh.....
Our new paper can help!

Rapid apple decline has afflicted orchards in several regions of the U.S. in recent years. A new study in North Carolina finds fungus-growing beetles are often associated with rapid apple decline, but they do not appear to be a primary culprit, and a variety of other factors are likely at play.

Here's a groundbreaking report that examines how countries around the world have successfully expanded abortion access and protected reproductive rights. The reports offer U.S.-based policymakers proven strategies to counter restrictions and treat abortion as essential health care.

stinadeee 4h "The abuse of women and girls is the most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation on Earth." - Jimmy Carter "I am fortunate to have a lot of strong women in my life..." - George W. Bush "I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything..." - Barack Obama "Quiet! Quiet Piggy!" - Donald Trump
Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly—
