I love nature and art. Dark-eyed juncos and McKay's buntings. Native plants, mushing, reading, writing, watercolor, glitter, and art messes. Justice.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive
The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years
Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly
It could be a sign of what’s to come.

A MAGA grandpa in Wyoming called 911 and told the operator to “call ICE” on an Amazon delivery driver simply for speaking Spanish.
“There’s this guy in front of my house who can’t speak English. You need to call ICE on him.”

I am working with Sen. Graham to pass legislation to help bring home thousands of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia. Standing with Ukraine means confronting the cruelty of taking kids from their families and making clear why we must stay united against Putin’s aggression.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
