Novice bird, duck, and alligator watcher on the loose. I’m obsessed with this blue jay. Couldn’t get a close enough shot, but it’s a beautiful bird 🐦

Some pics from my runs this weekend. Stopping to admire nature when trying to push through runs is one of my favorite activities 🐊🐦

Same, Widget. Same. Old man Widget, aka Sir Widgerton, aka Widgie, just vibing

Liz Cheney's successor Harriet Hageman to raucus overflow 500 person town hall crowd: ā€œIt’s so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with the federal government .... You guys are going to have a heart attack if you don’t calm down. I’m sorry, you’re hysterical.ā€

I think this was from Chapter 4 of Mein Kampf.

Texas parents of child who died of measles urge others not to vaccinate. The couple, members of the Mennonite community in Gaines County, were interviewed by the anti-vaccination group Children Health Defense.

20 March 1883 | A German Jew, Albert Vogel, was born in Mainz. Held in the camps of Gurs and Drancy. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 14 August 1942 in a transport of 1007 Jews. He was among 712 people murdered after selection in a gas chamber.

He’s wearing a Trump golf shirt and a Trump MAGA hat which he autographed himself? It’s a turducken of narcissism.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

The abduction of Mahmoud Khalil is an attack on our freedoms—to speak what we believe, learn and live safely. Our families must be kept whole and our freedoms protected. #freeamerica #freemahmoudkhalil

Trump Recession Timeline: 1. This will be a Golden Age on Day 1! Prices will come down and economy will boom! 2. These policies won’t cause a recession. We know what we’re doing. 3. Ok, it will cause short-term pain but will be good in long term. 4. This is Biden’s recession!

Well, yeah.

Shame on Democrats for not only failing to support Rep Al Green during The State of Dysfunction, but for voting to censure him. We need way MORE Al Green. And way LESS maga.

Anyone wonder why the Black-bodied Rep Al Green was censured by Congress for shouting truth to evil during Trump's SOTU while the white-bodied Rep MTG was not censored for screaming LIAR during Biden's SOTU?

Some pain? Some pain?! So, now we have pain from higher inflation, higher unemployment, government firings, tariffs, higher food costs, lower stock market, embarrassment on the world stage… Yet Trump, Musk, Bezos, Zuck are living in the lap of luxury. This is a full blown class war! #ProudBlue

UK PM Starmer to Zelensky: "You are very, very welcome here in Downing Street. As you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom. We will stand with you and Ukraine for as long as it may take."

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

A damning graphic. Hopefully the senate grows a spine and pushed back here, but I’m not holding my breath. Call your senators and give them stories about how your family benefits from these programs and asking why they are being threatened for ultra wealthy tax cuts.

BREAKING: The House passed a budget framework that would slash billions in Medicaid funding. Medicaid is a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans, including people with disabilities, women, seniors, and children. The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

ā€œThe Trump administration understands that it does not have absolute power and that it must rely on creating a false illusion of power to create a chilling effect to get everyday people to respond to fear, comply in advance, and censor their own free speech.ā€ www.publicnotice.co/p/aoc-homan-...

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

U.S. inflation is accelerating as the cost of groceries, gas and used cars rise, a disappointment for families and businesses struggling with higher costs.

Just relentless insanity

FOUR DEADLY PLANE CRASHES IN FOUR WEEKS: One dead, four hospitalized after two jets collide on runway at Scottsdale, Arizona airport.

I can’t stop thinking about this blog post by Ventzi Nelson. Really incredible writing. I reached out to him on Threads, but I felt compelled to share this here. I knew I was witnessing greatness last night, but Ventzi’s words captured the essence of Kendrick’s performance in such a beautiful way šŸ«¶šŸ¼
