Someone broke into a Northern California falconry education and conservation center early Friday and intentionally released all of its birds, several of which are still missing and at risk, according to West Coast Falconry.

Staff at the falconry — located about 40 miles north of Sacramento in Marysville — found the premises vandalized and all 11 birds set free. The intruder or intruders destroyed equipment and merchandise, and released the birds by cutting gear from their legs and removing them from their enclosures, “leaving them to fend for themselves,” the organization said.

“These birds are not wild — they are trained and rely on human care,” West Coast Falconry said in a Facebook post. “Releasing them in this condition puts them at serious risk of injury or death.”

Four birds were still missing as of midday Sunday: Walter, a great horned owl; Cubbie, a peregrine falcon; Amadon, a barn owl; and Cora, a dark-morph red-tailed hawk who is blind in one eye.

The center said it was actively working to locate and recover the missing raptors, and asked for help from nearby residents to look out for birds who are “unusually comfortable around people.”

People should not approach the raptors, but instead should report any sightings to West Coast Falconry.

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America. 

Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion.

They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us.

This was not a drill.

This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans.

Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst.

Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends.

The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  https://t.co/lxQD3X8jaM

Last year, when the U.S. administration terminated the first-ever National Nature Assessment, the team behind it refused to let the work disappear.
Director Phil Levin and the entire author team — all volunteers — reorganized, built a new secretariat and advisory committee, spent months persuading foundations to fund the effort, then got back to work.
This week, the result is here! The new Nature Record has just been submitted to the National Academy of Sciences for formal review -- and it's been opened for public comment, so you can read it too: https://t.co/uZodPAiTns
The report meticulously documents the many ways humans have degraded nature — on land, in lakes and rivers, in coastal wetlands, and in the ocean.
But what I love most is that the report starts with a “Bright Spots” chapter. It highlights real-life successes, the conditions that helped them happen, and how treating each other with greater equity and justice can also benefit nature.
Why does this chapter matter so much? Because social science research shows something important: while doom and gloom may get the most clicks and shares online, focusing only on the negative (without any positive information about solutions) can leave people feeling overwhelmed and powerless. When we pair the risks with information about solutions that work, people feel a greater sense of efficacy — and efficacy is what motivates us to act.
Not only that, but when it comes to nature, there are so many solutions that work (and the report talks about them, too!). Restoring ecosystems can strengthen food systems, improve our physical and mental health, protect communities from floods, storms, and heat, support biodiversity, and even help draw carbon out of the atmosphere.
Nature-based solutions are powerful. And the more we share stories of what’s working, the more we can build momentum for the work still ahead.

Newsom: Somebody told me about a billboard in LA on the 405. The billboard in large letters says that you are not stuck in traffic. About 20 minutes later, you get about 50 yards closer and you realize in parentheses it says: you are the traffic.

California is the fourth largest economy in the world.

I've been watching Sec. Hillary Clinton's testimony to the Oversight Committee regarding Epstein, and what really stands out is that you've never seen a clearer example of weight classes in political argument.

Hillary Clinton effortlessly runs circles around the likes of Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace, and it's just not a fair fight. It's like watching a Supreme Court justice preside over a high school mock trial. It's like watching Serena Williams casually send out lobs at half her usual speed against tennis hobbyists.

Heavyweight versus featherweight. Ferrari SF90 Spider versus Honda Accord. ICBM versus Daisy Red Ryder. Kasparov versus drunk opponent eating checkers.

It just ain't fair. It's almost unseemly, perhaps even cruel.
