Unthinkable evil.

REFUGEE: "We'd like asylum in the United States." ASYLUM HOTLINE: "We're full. Not taking any more." REFUGEE: "We're white." ASYLUM HOTLINE: "How soon can you get here?"

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

Baltimore Birding Weekend was a smashing success! Bud and Nico led us to 65 species in Patterson Park, starting with a banding demonstration. I got to release the ovenbird 😊

Recording cops is a First Amendment right. Yes, even ICE. Yes, even outside federal buildings. No, they can’t steal your phone or delete your footage — unless they’ve got a warrant signed by an actual judge. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #nokings #FiftyFiftyOne #ImpeachTrump #knowyourrights

NRA in 2020: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2021: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2022: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2023: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2024: "Ya know, tyranny's not so bad."

More Cromwell Valley Park birds...

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

I’m dying 😂
