Cedar waxwings make the most amazing high pitched whistling sound. And they are often found in large groups. I once saw a tree entirely filled with waxwings. The tree was SINGING.

Spare us the fake outrage.

These birds are magnificent. Take a look at their "ears".

More of this, please.

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

Something to brighten up your day.

I think every member of Congress and every Capitol police officer who was attacked on Jan 6th should sue the estate of ashli babbit.

So very wrong.

FUCK THIS. The cruelty. The inhumanity. ENOUGH! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @whipkclark.bsky.social STOP THIS!!!!

Guys, This message is powerful. Please get it out and tag all of Congress because it's to them. If they think it's scary, try watching it from our side and knowing we have limited power to act

@fernandez.house.gov @repstansbury.bsky.social @repgabevasquez.bsky.social Please watch.

Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Lujan, please watch. And fix your "invalid handles".

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

🌮

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

Taco Trump? It's kinda catchy.

I most assuredly love, love, love birds.

Turn up the sound and take in some beauty.

I'm crying but these are tears of joy. We won 🥳. Our case against dog culling was fought in the courts by our lawyer and dog culling has finally been declared illegal in Punjab. Our dream has finally come true. It took us 8 years but we got there in the end propakistani.pk/2025/05/27/h...

Here's a great (terrible) example of IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE. It's obvious the vast majority of people ICE is abducting are Brown and Black. Danish? Not so much. Who'll be next? www.mississippifreepress.org/ice-arrests-...

UNITE. 🇺🇸

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington

This cannot be allowed to stay in whatever bill passes in the Senate or we are all screwed.

This day will be more important than the last election day, if people commit to showing up to preserve what's right about this country.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

An interesting historic tidbit, which is not as clearcut as I'd like. (the language "is missing from its Arabic counterpart [and] was not repeated in other treaties with other powers in the region." (firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/1797...
