🤯🇪🇺 The Heritage Foundation, the Trump admin’s agenda-setting think tank, is receiving proposals from illiberal forces in Poland & Hungary on reshaping the EU. Obtained by @vsquare.bsky.social, these include dismantling the EU Commission, the ECJ & renaming the bloc the European Community of Nations.

I love the splash of yellow. #birds #birding #birdphotography #photography #chicagobirder #birdwatching #wildlifephotography

Israel aren't "restricting aid" going into Gaza. They're blocking everything.

Donald Trump refused to rule out a recession in America, saying "There is a period of transition... it takes time". After all, Rome wasn't destroyed in a day

Shani Dhanda: "Nearly half of everyone that already lives in poverty is a disabled person or a carer of a disabled person... if we're going to cut support to people that need it most its going to push more people into extreme poverty, with the backdrop of the assisted dying bill"

EITHER EVERYONE HAS HUMAN RIGHTS, OR NO ONE DOES Those in power cannot decide who deserves rights vs who doesn't This is a dangerous plan that MUST be stopped in it's tracks www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BREAKING: The government denies it's abandoning people with extreme disabilities by slashing their benefits, pointing out that it's removing the safeguards on assisted suicide to give them a cost-effective way out x

The Government is planning to unveil more than £6 billion of welfare cuts that will see even people with extreme disabilities lose money. None of this is necessary. Billions could be raised by taxing the super-rich fairly. Labour are choosing to punish the most vulnerable.

Warmth and softness fell on the earth, and the tranquility and beauty of that moment moved my heart. Watching the sky gradually turn golden, I felt the new day begin quietly, as if everything in the world became bright and full of hope.☀️❤️😊

mist forming a blanket over the fields under a bright moon Basho

softly my home blanketed with snow Issa

the wind creating a beautiful fragrance in the snow Basho

sheltered by blossoms, like a melody in a performance resting on my journey Basho

remember, among the thorns there are blossoms Basho

the frost on the iron kettle has a cold voice Basho

a modest cottage tea leaves gently gathered after a storm Basho

the fragrance of plum blossoms has driven the cold away Basho

Beautiful evening in Milwaukee Lake Michigan
