Speak the truth, get out in the streets today and show we aren't going to take it from those who are destroying our country.

Father/husband, vegetation/lichen ecologist turned remote sensing nerd. Here to share science, social justice and news. Here to also resist fascists that are taking control of my country (US), support Ukraine and others. Dirigo Maine! Views are my own.
Journalism (with real research and not fluff) like that by Tatarigami shows what Russia is really up to; continuing to build their war machine. Help them keep reporting. I just donated.
Since launching the fundraising yesterday, we have raised around $125 over the past 24 hours, which is unfortunately far less than needed. I’m sharing this post again to gain more traction. Thank you for your support.

Our team has recently published a major investigation into the expansion of Russian artillery production, with several more reports coming soon. To support our work, we are launching a small fundraiser for the coming month and invite you to support through donations: buymeacoffee.com/frontelligence
Want to stop the terrorism by masked ICE agents in America? Then call your Senators TODAY to demand they not pass the bill funding Dept. of Homeland Security. The House already passed the bill funding DHS.
My mind is often overwhelmed with the actions of the fascist, rapist asshole president of my country and how we should respond. I love nature and the inspiration she provides in the surprises all around us if we pay attention and remain open. So, here is a maze of vole paths in the snow in my yard.
Now ICE is murdering innocent mothers who are US citizens. This could have been my sister. She is in her 30s, a mother and lives in Minneapolis not far from here. So does my brother, whose wife is also about this woman's age who was murdered by ICE yesterday. Resign Kristi Noem.
STRAIGHT UP MURDER
Maine has only one endemic plant, Furbish's lousewort. It is extremely endangered, found only along the St. John River along the northern border with Canada. Almost 10 years ago, I set out to do something useful with the University students enrolled in my Plant Taxonomy class focused on this plant.
We need a state to national movement of ballot initiatives to ban law enforcement wearing masks. The only reasons I can see they have widely adopted this practice are to intimidate and terrorize civilians and enable them to do bad things without accountability.
I am shocked every day by videos of masked ICE agents assaulting civilians with excessive force. I am shocked every day reading how the DOJ is charging people for fake charges based on their dissent against the President. If you wait to act until this affects you, it will be too late. Do something.
Hey ya'll US voters! Get out there TODAY and exercise your civic duty to elect people who stand up for you, the rule of law and vote down those people and ballot measures that seek to strip your rights away.
Meanwhile in America, the orange traitorous sexual predator inhabiting our nation's executive mansion is spending millions to build a ballroom no one needs while people lose foodstamps and access to health case because spineless congresspeople can't stand up to him. More outrage every day.
Sailing on the last day of August in Penobscot bay. A beautiful day to be on the water in a beautiful place. Need this sort of peace to balance all that is happening in the world and mustering to do something about it.
Ever wondered what it'd look like to have your apartment hit with a large, explosive laden drone while cowering in your hallway? Check out the short video from Kyiv filmed recently. Support Ukraine defending itself from Russia's continual assault largely on unarmed civilians like this family.
They were in the hallway when a Shahed drone flew into the apartment in Kyiv: a camera captured the strike from inside the home. Despite the extensive destruction in the apartment, bottles of champagne survived.
Our govt seems to think it is ok take someone into custody and deport them to a totally separate continent? WTF is this madness.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
China is continuing to support Russia's genocidal invasion of Ukraine. These kind of investigations take resources. Follow and support @tatarigami.bsky.social for reliable information on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Reliable info has never been more important.
Our largest investigation to date into Chinese involvement would not have been possible without your support and contributions. We thank everyone who has supported us in recent months - our team, Frontelligence Insight, is proud to share these results with you.
Yes, Russia is still bombing apartments of Ukrainian civilian families. Don't forget this is still happening.
More from Kyiv. I'm speechless. All I can do is sit here and wait for the firefighters to search the rubble, hoping there won't be many... I just don't understand why this is allowed to happen again and again.
I came upon this on a remote island today. Even the seaweed on the coast of Maine thinks Trump sucks.
Got 7 minutes? That is what it took to leave a message for both US Senators about their upcoming vote on whether to pull back funding for public broadcasting. Support (the Corporation for)Public Broadcasting!
Went home to western South Dakota to see family and was shocked by the morons carrying handguns at family swimming and fishing locations at a lake I grew up enjoying. I wanted to ask WTF they are keeping themselves and everyone else safe from. What happened to common sense, SD gun owners?
This sums up why I post about people being abducted by masked police in MY country. bsky.app/profile/beth...
BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers
To prove I have not completely lost my mind due to US politics, here are a bunch of pictures of flowers I took in my yard in the last two weeks. Love to see summer blooming.
Why yes, Russia is still killing Ukrainian women and children while they sleep in their homes. Do something about it and #SlavaUkraini
Daryna and her son were both murdered in their home by Russian drone last night.
Stay calm and impeach, convict and remove the treasonous traitor cosplaying US president while he golfs.
The US govt. is deporting people from various countries to Sudan, a war-torn dangerous place. What would stop them from doing this to anyone else they deem unacceptable? Wake up people. This is not a drill. www.cnn.com/2025/05/20/p...

Imagine 50 legal residents of our country sent to jail over .. ? Being brown skinned? This is happening in our country. Speechless.
This is HUGE. For those wondering why due process is essential for EVERYONE. This is why!
Today's lucky numbers? 8647! Yes, that mean "86" the "47"th President! Like, get rid of him. Sure would be a shame to make #8647 appear all over the internet wouldn't it?
Your political affiliation have got you killed on Jan. 6 but not whether you were R or D but whether you support Twitler. Senator Murphy speaking on this says it forcefully.
Republican Sen Bernie Moreno won’t hold town halls, won’t answer calls, won’t condemn Trump’s pardons of J6 criminals. He doesn’t give a damn about cops or the rule of law. Meanwhile, Sen Chris Murphy is out here every day fighting, speaking truth, leading with courage. Absolute hero. Relentless.
All my brains to me lately ... "Restore Order by Killing Doge, Deporting Musk, Impeaching Trump".
The dark masses of Alewives migrating upstream on a cloudy day became much more visible thanks to my wife's dirty prescription polarized sunglasses.
Support NPR and PBS today by calling your congresspeople and telling them to take the purse strings back from the President, who is trying to kill PBS and NPR by executive order just today. I called my congresspeople about this already this morning.
