Less satellites. Fewer experts. Worse storms. For the last six months, climate specialist @alaskawx.bsky.social has had a reluctant front-row seat to the Trump administration's attack on the United States' weather agency. “Some days it’s like, ‘Why the hell am I doing this?’ he says.

10 days ago, my rhubarb was barely emerging from the soil, and it was still cold here. Following a tip from a local farmer, I covered with a large, black garden pot and wrapped with some saved bubble wrap. It worked! Quick growth of young, tender stalks with smallish leaves. #sharingiscaring.

On epic f*ck-ups and utter bu!!sh!t: he irony of the gargantuan national-security breach by tRump administration officials.
The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.
