Sotomayor says this decision gives the US president a "loaded weapon" to use for his own interests. "Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune."

Sometimes it feels like nothing is changing: as if we’re climbing the tallest mountain in the world, and the summit is no closer than when we started. But if we stop for a minute and turn around and look back, we can see how far we’ve actually come. Progress is happening, step by step.

Had just ordered a pint through the window at beloved Tandem Ciders when a bird—I believe it was an Eastern Kingbird—hit me right between the eyes with its excreta. Still, idyllic.

Most people probably don't know that tricolored blackbirds exist, and until recently they were hurtling toward extinction. How many other little-known animals don't have intervention plans? How many have we already lost without knowing it?🪶

Ospreys in the Chesapeake Bay last year had breeding success even lower than at the height of the DDT era, and scientists say it's due to a scarcity of menhaden. www.audubon.org/news/researc...

Really grateful to Jenny for writing this great piece about the Spoonbill Club - our little venture to run birding trips for Bay Area folks with long COVID and other energy-limiting chronic illnesses. (And I hope someone fulfils Molly Adams's wish of starting a NY chapter.)

Because I have a one-track mind, last summer I went to Nome to write about how climate change is nudging beavers toward the Arctic. Excited to see my dispatch from the (increasingly damp) tundra published in
Audubon Magazine's spring issue. Photos by Brian Adams.

if you threaten a judges’s family and it is ignored via New Privileges I Just Now Invented to avoid using powers ordinarily exercised without hesitation, you do in fact have extra-legal protections. the legal system a judge is nominally trying to protect by inaction is just as compromised in the end

Just came here to say the same thing! "When I started birding, I remember thinking that I’d never see most of the species in my field guide. I had internalized the idea of nature as distant and remote. But in the last six months... “I’ll never see that” has turned into “Where can I find that?”🪶
