Just trying to add value.

We finally care about native species! #nature

[Ben Pershing @benpershing]

Four gold lions that had previously adorned the side of the arch along the base have also been removed – a change the CFA had pushed for given that lions are “not native to the United States.”

Good vibes only in #Virginia today as children from the largest Muslim community center in the commonwealth sing “this land is your land, this land is my land” to first woman governor @SpanbergerForVA and first Muslim woman to win statewide office in US, Lt. Gov. @GhazalaHashmi.

How today started

NYT: Scientists are still trying to figure out whether humans can contract avian influenza by eating or drinking...

How it’s going

NPR: Scientists in the US are in a state of confusion and panic …A pause on research funded by the …NIH remains in place.

You know who is NOT gutting their science and education agencies?

[Ellen Qualls @QuallsComm]

You had me at “federal funds at risk of being stolen.”

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Forward.

[Ellen Qualls @QuallsComm]

@theGRAMMYs doing local ads with biggie celebs promoting them is such a feel good in the face of the fascist oligarchy. Good job @Trevornoah, the BEST South African import.

[Ellen Qualls @QuallsComm]

The oligarchs have no plan to govern. They will take what they can, and disable the rest. The destruction is the point.

This is the all you need to know.

No matter what the Heritage plan was, the bonkers appointees are coming straight from Putin to destroy the very things they’d run. And therefore, our country.

When your climate policy is more extreme than Exxon's.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Exxon Mobil’s CEO says Donald Trump shouldn’t pull the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, putting the oil giant at odds with the incoming administration https://t.co/gl6KQZCmvF https://t.co/gl6KQZCmvF

“Hope, to me, is the active conviction that despair won’t have the last word.” @CoryBooker

“Americans, in poll after poll, told us how this result should be interpreted — as a reaction to inflation and personal economic unease among many voters.”

Some sane thoughts from ⁦⁦@AGTheodoridis⁩ and other experts:

Let’s not over torque. We don’t need to assimilate into UFC fans. Don’t need to buy crypto. Won’t get lip injections. Won’t discourage women from running for office.

Still gonna talk about love, kindness, and nature. Gonna tip well and talk to neighbors. Might rewatch Barbie.

[Ellen Qualls @QuallsComm]

Let’s give this some thought.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

Nature has some clues.

We hear about trees growing closer and deeper together, interlocking roots to help withstand storms.

So now is the time to plant yourself in community, and interlock with one another in preparation for the storm.

Get rooted. Start soon.

As a poll observer for the kids ballot box (since it’s near the everything’s a dollar” bake sale) I’m noticing a lot of uses of first name only.

@GeoffBurgan @farahsmelendez @farahsmelendez is a boss

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is

[Nick Field @nick_field90]

ProPublica found four women now who've died because of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, exposing two central problems with the press: 1. ProPublica found them and not the New York Times 2. Joe Biden's 'garbage' comment can lead the evening news but not these women's deaths
