Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

We heard our first red winged blackbird on Sunday! He was way up in the trees still.

I always wonder, can't they see on their security cameras that no one can reach the top shelf?

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

106 degrees in Texas may be new record for US winter A station next to the Mexico border recorded 106 degrees yesterday and, if confirmed, it may be a new record for winters in the United States.

Despite everything going on in the US right now, climate change is still a thing.

I remember in the book, Gary Larsen was embarrassed to learn later that bananas grow on the tops of trees.

Birds Aren’t Just Declining. They’re Declining Faster, a New Study Finds.

"Birds in the United States are not only declining, but they are declining faster, especially in areas with intensive agriculture...Overall drops in bird population, measured from 1987 to 2021, were sharpest in warm and warming areas, suggesting that climate change may play a role."

White House to pause $259M in Minnesota Medicaid dollars in fraud crackdown It’s the latest in a growing list of fraud-focused threats and probes from the Trump administration.

This is about political retribution.

Trump is weaponizing the federal government to punish states like Minnesota that didn’t vote for him β€” ripping away funds from pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities.

You don’t fight β€œfraud” by hurting the most vulnerable.

a man in a suit is making a funny face and saying `` mind blown '' while standing in a bar . Alt: Gif of Kramer from Seinfeld going, "mind blown!"

Whoa. I just learned that Tettegouche State Park is pronounced "tetta-GOOSH" and not "tetta-GOO-chee." And it's French for rendezvous.

As a Minnesotan my mind is blown.

I think all stoplights are programmed to let you through the whole sequence at the posted speed limit. It just never works because there is always one person who screws it up. πŸ˜›

You won’t find cleaner waters than the Boundary Waters. Think endless streams of water filled with bass, walleye, trout and northern pike – total wilderness, only accessible by canoe.

Why would we let a Chilean mining company pollute these public lands, take our minerals and ship them off to China?

"You are here. We've breached 430 ppm COβ‚‚" - @petergleick.bsky.social

(up from 352 ppm COβ‚‚, when Taylor Swift was born, 1989 😬)

"Also shown is the emergence of Homo sapiens around 200,000 years ago - so COβ‚‚ levels are higher than we've ever experienced."

11am rally and march at Whittier Park in Minneapolis, to mark 4 years since the brutal murder of Alex Pretti at the hands of ICE.

TOMORROW (2/21)
11AM at Whittier Park in Minneapolis

ICE is not gone, far from it.

We march for the lives that have been lost.
We march against the collaborators in local law enforcement.
We march in solidarity with our friends and neighbors.

Things I learned today - language in the Clean Air Act explicitly defines "air pollutant" to include anything with adverse effects on weather and climate

[thinking] I am pretty excited about those versatile solar panels, the ones that don't need to be connected into the grid.
