We're in a moment of despair. We're also in a moment, if we choose to organize the coalition and movements we know we can, where we can build the future we deserve. It's the only option. When an empire crumbles, what happens next is up to those who suffered the collapse. Let's fucking do it 🪶🐣

Today was a real rough one. We all deserve a little aww squee. 🪶🐣

Peregrine falcon war in Torrey Pines has started WITH THE MALE being aggressive already. Previously only 1 female of the 2 nesting pairs was aggressive. I'm still going to wait until the normally aggressive females chicks hatch and then go down. ebird.org/checklist/S2...

WHAT

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Duckies!

If you live in a military town you could do worse in terms of activism than retyping that tweet to be nice and readable and then printing it off in sizes ranging from 1/8th page to full sheet and leaving them absolutely everywhere in town

Reports of 16 ducklings at one lake. I repeat. 16 ducklings at one Lake. Nobody tell the fucking herons

OH NO DISASTER WHAT A BAD IDEA

@socalleslie.bsky.social omg someone caught rail sex in bolsa chica yesterday!!! ebird.org/checklist/S2...

Quoting this to help others: If you're a computer user goto the ebird website in your county by googling "county name state name ebird" and then goto the map in the upper right, filter by this week. There's ALOT of advanced functions, but that gets you started. The app is kindof rough. (1/3)

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

Also, let's be clear: Having a criminal record also doesn't mean you should be deported to a torture camp in another country and effectively sentenced to death. Because everybody has basic rights, and because dictatorships will always redefine what "criminality" means.
