An extreme closeup of a Barred Owl's face. This was shot at 800mm, but from around 15 feet away allowing for this level of detail.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

To be fair, there are corrupt Dems as well. Senator Bob Menendez of NJ. Main difference is the Dems don't rally around and try to protect the criminal. The magat party does.

Jones: These people, I think, are very flagrant in their disregard for the law. It’s as if they don’t read what is in these statutes, and they say, β€œAh, we see one keyword and we’ll just run with it.”

That is having a material impact on people across the country, and I think people are tired of it.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

A Timeline of Rohingya History - Burma’s Path to Genocide - United States Holocaust Memorial Museum A chronology of key events in Burma’s history with an emphasis on those impacting the Rohingya.

We need to talk about Rohingya (and keep talking about Gaza).

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran.

While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.

Just a power grab, nothing else. The Trump administration trying to stop college students (specific students: those who need work study jobs to be in school) from working on voter registration drives.

HOT: 1) real doctors for surgeon general (not residency drop outs who never practiced or got licensed); 2) pluralism (not everyone dying their hair the same blond) and 3) the Constitution.
NOT: 1) another forever war; 2) high inflation; 3) lies; 4) continued sidestepping of Trump in Epstein files

Alice Munro’s Passive Voice The celebrated writer’s partner sexually abused her daughter Andrea. The abuse transformed Munro’s fiction, but she left it to Andrea to confront the true story.

One thing about this amazing article by Rachel Aviv -- it doesn't soften the condemnation of acts committed by Alice Munro before the helplessness induced by Alzheimer's. The illness doesn't exempt her, no more than aging exempts any abuser or complicit person.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

just thinking today about the downstream effect of a majority of Americans not having a strong and solid science education...they don't actually know what "research" is. They don't know what "the scientific method" or "hypothesis testing" is. They need to know to grasp that Trump is LYING.

Dayum. Just heard a minister say, as perhaps only Black ministers can, β€œWe will fight until hell freezes over, and then we will fight on the ice.”
I’m stealing that!!

Inside RFK Jr.’s push against the flu vaccine that he links to his voice condition Trump’s health secretary has halted federal flu vaccine promotions, citing personal beliefs about vaccine risks.

So RFK Jr. hates flu vaccination because he erroneously believes it led to his spasmodic dysphonia.

None of this stupidity needed to happen... wapo.st/46jSng1

Bonta: Trump has contempt for the rule of law because it boxes him in. It restrains him and constrains him, as it should.

While criticizing this decision may be a short-term move for him, it’s probably a long-term problem. These are human beings who have memories.
