Twice a year, millions of birds take to the skies—and their incredible migrations can even show up on weather radar. This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, help give them a safer journey by turning off lights at night, planting native species, and paying attention to the birds passing through your backyard.

The arts are not an extra, they are the reason students stay engaged in school. "I was considering dropping out and just getting my GED. But after having conversations with my theatre teacher, it made me think I should be here. Art gives me a reason to show up and be at school." -Hazel Granata

Porcupines were persecuted as pests throughout much of the 20th century. Now wildlife managers are concerned that populations have failed to recover in the decades since state bounties were banned.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy. We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets. If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Kristi Noem is in Portland today. She should see the real Portland—a city that’s peaceful and filled with people who care for one another. Instead of feeding Trump’s political theater, she needs to rein in the federal agents brutalizing peaceful protesters.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:
A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment. 

But that’s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way:

Are we more unified than we were before?
Are we bigger than we were before?
Are our tactics proliferating? 
Is the regime’s popularity falling?

Trump says he’d invoke the Insurrection Act if “necessary.” He describes Portland using the word “insurrection” twice—on purpose. And no, Portland has not been “on fire for years.” He knows it, you know it, the world knows it.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

BirdCast forecasts for the next several nights have hundreds of millions of birds predicted to be on the wing, especially in central & eastern states. Turn off all unnecessary lights at night and check your favorite hotspots for new birds in the day! #birds #fall #migration #LightsOutForBirds
Screenshot of the three day prediction maps from BirdCast showing heavy migration predicted for each night. Tonight has 236 million birds expected, tomorrow has 211 million, and Tuesday night has 180 million birds. Migration is heaviest in central and eastern states from the north birders to the south.
