I love great pictures. I love Democracy and family. I repost a lot of bird photos, like people there are an almost infinite variety of all shapes sizes and colors, and yet all "birds", kind of like people. Hard to pick a favorite.

Elissa Slotkin: β€œThere's press reports that the Russians are helping target US ships & aircraft β€” if Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a Rubicon β€” we are in another moment & one that we have to take decisive action on β€” and we need to adjust to that new reality”

The head and neck of a cormorant, in profile with the beak to the left. The plumage is black and shaggy, but with wisps of white, and with a clear white edge to the back to the beak. In short, breeding plumage. The round eye is an almost disconcerting aqua. The beak is yellow at its base, light gray farther out. The end of the upper beak curves down to a point, over the end of the lower beak. The background for the image is a vaguely swirling, green water surface.

Not only is Trump robbing the US himself, but he's setting up for a century of lawsuits against the US. Foreign and domestic.

Trump-loving farmers threaten 'to quit' as president’s war spikes fertilizer prices Thanks to weather, rising inflation and the damage of tariffs, U.S. farmers were already faring badly under President Donald Trump. But after voting for him en mass in the 2024 election, single-family...

β€œA lot of guys have just said, β€˜I'm done. We're going to quit.’ They're hanging it up. There are [farm] sales everywhere. Lots and lots of farm sales,” said another farmer in Iowa.”

There goes the family farms, the billionaires are going to swoop in and buy up land. And all under Trump.

Chris Murphy: β€œThey have NO plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz β€” a totally foreseeable result of a military action against Iranβ€”

It’s getting worse, not better as Iran is now mining the Strait β€” if the Strait is closed for weeks or months more, that’s a global economic catastrophe”

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.πŸ‘‡

Another mass shooting, this one at Old Dominion U. An attack at a synagogue in Michigan.
Is it me, or does there seem to be a lot more hatred in the country than there used to be?

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's war on Iran:

NO PREPARATION
NO PLANNING
NO STRATEGY
NO DEPLOMACY

Just brute military force.
MASSIVE MISTAKE.

This is what happens when our government has incompetent Trump loyalists in charge of the decisions.
