So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

The swallows are back at Sam Smith park. There is one field where volunteers maintain tree houses for the swallows. These are filled with tree swallows. Then down the path is a bridge where barn swallows build their homes. #birds

One of the lovely warblers migrating north, a Bay-breasted Warbler. Bay-breasted Warblers are long-distance migrants, traveling from South America, the Caribbean, and southern Central America up to the boreal forests in Canada. In the Fall they transform into a mostly green and white bird.

There are a lot of interesting hot takes on Pope Leo XIV. Many of them are bemoaning an "American Pope" b/c of Trump. I understand. I feel you. But PLEASE... take a moment to look at the man's history. He is NOT the American that Trump & Vance wanted as Pope.

DC restaurants are on alert but ICE is also targeting schools. There is currently ICE presence at the Mondo Verde school on P Street -- parents are forming a human chain and plan to do so for the rest of the week. If you're in DC and able to, they would like help

It's the best time of year, spring migration. We did not get out today, but the warblers came to us. Around lunch time our backyard tree was full of warblers. Daughter got a black-throated blue warbler as well. #birds
