They always are… this isn’t random this is how this administration has been since his first successful run for office.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

Never done astrophotography in Sedona before but I don't think it'll be the last time. #Arizona #MilkyWay #Stars #NightSky

So MAGA are yall gonna have a spine like ever? Are yall still gonna keep saying that America shouldn’t have involved themselves in other countries businesses or does that change now because daddy Trump said so?

The Enderlin, ND tornado periodically illuminated by lightning flashes in the distance to my North on 6/20/25.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

There is always a tweet.

When you get home from work and it’s your Friday and you read the headlines. 15 minutes ago the US bombed Iran nuclear sites. Ah yes a perfect end to the work week. I wonder what kind of bullshit insanity comes next week in this perpetual cycle of awful because morons who don’t care voted in mass 🙃

Kinda disproves the whole narrative of “violent criminals only” but who could have seen this coming. Pretends to be shocked…

America's public lands are perhaps the single greatest asset our country has. Protected wilderness, open space parks, BLM, Forest Service, and grazing lands are without a doubt our richest resource, and aside from generating *literally* trillions in revenue, they're also vital for our survival.

This will also bring SE flow aloft over Arizona and New Mexico and will bring us our first real shot of monsoon season moisture ⛈️⚡️🌩️🌵

CPC 8-14 day outlook still hinting at an early start to #Monsoon for #AZ. Today is the first "official" day of monsoon season. Getting gear polished off and just picked up a new DSLR. The time to chase is nigh.

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

These people I swear lol

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Hey everyone its been a while since I've posted any pictures but we have an impactful weather maker on its way here for us in Arizona so here's to hopefully a wet summer ahead for us here in state 48. #arizona #Monsoon #Thunderstorms

Throwback to this absolute joy of a tornado to chase last year near El Dorado, OK for #tornadotuesday

I SURVIVED READING BANNED BOOKS ALL I GOT WAS SMARTER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

The eye of the Arnett, OK tornado, captured by one of our UAVs as it collected scientific data on the environment within.

This is such an abhorrent and unacceptable way to use your influence on social media.

“I know the national weather service is getting gutted but if they can’t issue warnings on time then completely gut them.”

I just can’t fathom people sometimes.

Republicans don’t like the new pope because he’s actually a humble person that wants to show the world it is okay to be accepting of others and that hate is wrong. So yes of course MAGA is against this man. MAGA has shown us they open their arms to intolerance and their actions prove this.

I'm not sure what to make of this feature on Sunday Afternoon. Storm merger was taking place at time of photo. Most likely rain, I think. Ultimately it was quite a unique day weather wise across Arizona 5/4/2025 #Arizona #Storms #Landscapes #Desert #Rain #Weather

Yesterday West of Phoenix, AZ near sunset! Was a very chilly and windy storm chase day. Missed a lot of lightning but captured some bolts. Overall my first chase day in May for thunderstorms in Arizona wasn’t that bad. #azwx #storms #rainbow #lightning #desert #omegastormsystem

No this was a year ago on the night of 5/10/24 I wish this is how the skies looked tonight! Still amazing though with the dark desert skies even without the aurora.

I still cannot believe that about a year ago I would witness a geomagnetic storm so powerful that the northern lights would dance across the skies of American southwest deserts of Arizona! #Arizona #NightSky #NorthernLights #Space #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Photography #Stars #Cactus #Saguaro

Monsoon 2025 will slowly arrive in about a month and a half! Scenes like this will hopefully break out all across the desert southwest! #monsoon #Arizona #Weather #Lightning #Storm #sky #Bluesky #photography
