🚨A map heist, orchestrated by Ron DeSantis.
In CA and VA, voters had a say. In Florida, voters are cut out.
📌 Gerrymandered maps dropped yesterday
📌 Special session starts today
📌 Republicans will fast-track
📌 The maps violate Florida’s own Constitution.
Egret at Dusk
I saw this great egret (Ardea alba) in Georgia one November years ago, and it struck me as the perfect moment for a portrait.

This regression to racist norms is so depressing to watch. We still have plenty of issues with racism, both individual and systemic here in Canada. But I'm mighty glad I'm not American right now.

Conservations say a Sumatran orangutan has been filmed for the first time using a human-made canopy bridge to cross a public road on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Rapid development has been shrinking the jungle habitat of the critically endangered species. And fatal conflicts with people have been increasing. Conservationists told The Associated Press on Monday about the crossing. They say it marks the first documented case of a Sumatra orangutan using an artificial canopy bridge to cross a public road and connect the separate habitats. The bridge spans the Lagan–Pagindar road in Pakpak Bharat district. The vital corridor connects remote villages that cuts directly through prime orangutan habitat. It splits an estimated 350 orangutans into two isolated forest areas.
