"Did you just call me basic?"
This Common Yellowthroat seems to take real issue with his species name. He is staring me down like he’s ready to fight the entire ornithology department.

ICE doesn’t de-escalate, it escalates, then runs.
🚨ICE agent pepper-sprays woman after shoving her. Totally unnecessary. Santa Barbara police and paramedics showed up to clean up the mess. ICE already fled the scene.

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

‼️ Russia will not be able to capture Donbas before August 2027, — ISW
Giving Russia the rest of the Ukrainian Donbas would be a strategic mistake, wrote the American Institute for the Study of War, arguing that it would take the Russian army at least 18 months to achieve this by force.

The Pleiades star cluster (M45) captured over 25 hours. The blue glow is starlight reflecting off interstellar dust. The surrounding brown structures are the Integrated Flux Nebula, incredibly faint clouds lit by the glow of our entire galaxy.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.
These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.
They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.
