I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Four bull elk took time away from mating to join the No Kings protest in Estes Park, Colorado. That’s how serious this is.

The steadily growing population of rare lesser horseshoe bats in the shed (roughly 100) attests to the level of flying insect life in the forest outside, since each bat catches around 3,000 per night.
Healthy nature depends on healthy, wild, functioning *ecosystems*.
Rewilding delivers that. 🌏

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!
I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.
Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

The idea of forcefully retaking Bagram is so crazy because if would basically be a recreation of the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ except with the added modifier that your enemies also have all the thermal optics you left behind

I hate that Brigitte Macron feels compelled to prove she’s a woman, but I get it: shut that lie down. The right thrives on ruining lives with made-up trash.
Maybe Candace Owens should have to prove she’s human.
