Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.

❤️☀️

The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

I was thrilled to spot a Great Blue Heron all puffed up on a chilly morning in Central Park. We're fortunate that these beautiful birds pay us visits all winter! ❄️❄️❄️ #Herons #CentralPark #birding

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Wishlists for the next republic:

Strictly representational government, no senate.

Term limits on judges.

Budget not met, trigger an election like Canada does.

Short election cycles. Two months max. Funds for all candidates who hit ballot percentages.

Ranked choice voting.

I don’t like this timeline much. I mean, sure, there’s stuff to like like coffee and dogs. But then the current state of burning down civilization just to hurt yur neighbors beliefs, accomplishments and status? This is not what I want to live in. I think there’s a whole commandment on this somewhere

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

One source witnessed an FBI analyst have a breakdown while viewing the Epstein files. The analyst has kids the same age as the girls in the videos they were reviewing. I’ll cover this and more today at 3:30 PT / 6:30 PM ET here: youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

all the state workers that got those payments out as fast as they could should be getting free drinks forever.
Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments.

Chicagoans never stop. I was just watching a live stream of a press conference held by community members in front of FBI headquarters. In the rain in the dark. Umbrellas at hand they are calling for the release of 6 people taken by ICE, 3 also arrested by CPD. They never stop fighting.

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

Wowza! I spotted a Red-tailed Hawk hunting on the Harlem Meer's Duck Island, and when it took off, I was able to capture it at eye level! Yes, it's still peak foliage here! 😍😍😍 #Hawks #CentralPark #birding

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.
Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

Don't stop whistling, Chicago
bsky.app/profile/peop...
This reminds me: A few CBP agents were recently overheard complaining about how much they *hate* the whistles. Apparently, in addition to the obvious, the racket makes it harder for them to communicate with each other.
Listening to CPD radio traffic from something last month and can hear the whistles in the background.
