Well to those over on FB that told me Fox News was reporting the killer of the Hortmans was a radical leftist who drove a car with a No Kings sign in it, can just eff themselves.

I have said this for years! If the right truly cared about immigration and not just political theater, this would be required. www.propublica.org/article/texa.... The right is hypocritical and dishonest. They know how important immigrants are to the economy.

What is happening in many areas of our government is very concerning to me, but what is happening to the national park service is horrendous to me. We need our open spaces and the programs that go with them. 🌎 www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Groove-billed ani pair; I got very muddy and took two spills trying to get near this spot where the pair was perching. Anis are a spring and summer bird of far South Texas.

I know that during migration, birds rest and feed at different locations known to them. However, the warblers, like this magnolia warbler that I observed, were constantly moving through the brush grabbing seed or insects or both. I am not sure they conserve much energy.

I'll be heading to the southern part of my state for migration time. Specifically, I'll be in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. I hope to see more of these. Below is a wood thrush that showed up at a water feature.

Greg Abbott admitted he’s trying to defund our schools with a private school voucher. If his voucher passes, Texas public schools will face more closures, teacher layoffs, and program cuts. See how much money Abbott could take from your public school: dontdefundmyschool.com

The Matilda star took to Bluesky to make a blunt point about how the anti-trans order coming from President Trump is hypocrisy at its finest.

The US of A should not work like this. I thought Orangus Maximus' first admin was horrible, but oh no, now he is more concerned with getting revenge on Americans because of a fragile ego than actually helping people out with inflation, fuel, food and home costs www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Convicted criminals released to help Donald Trump feel better about himself and his insurrection. Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keeper founder Stewart Rhodes are out of prison, according to the AP. What a disgrace.

A Harris's hawk from the deep Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas. These are one of the few, if not the only, species of hawk of that will hunt in groups. #birds
