@delauro.house.gov is my Representative in Congress. I like and support her. But this is a serious mistake. She is caught a trap in which leadership always sinks into legislative compromise. It’s the myopic electoralism @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social have warned about. 1/

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

Digital portrait sketch of a male Resplendent Quetzal. He has a bright yellow beak, big black eye, and then a big fluffy spiky green and turquoise crest and beard of feathers in all directions around his head. On the breast, the colors turn toward blue, with a small patch of red near the wrist of the wing.

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations Recently disclosed records suggest a closer relationship than the Commerce secretary previously indicated.

Secretary Howard Lutnick lied to the country about his ties to Epstein.

Now we learned that they were in business together.

He has no business being our Commerce Secretary.

He should resign.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Susan Collins: It would be impractical to exclude ICE and Border Patrol from the in-process DHS funding bill -- and to channel new dollars to FEMA and TSA instead -- because ICE and Border Patrol already have plenty of money. [Yes, this is logically incoherent and makes no sense.] #MEpolitics

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

NEW: Republican senators pitched a FIT when Jack Smith didn’t disclose toll record subpoenas were for Members of Congress (not required by law) but I’m sure they’ll be silent when they learn the trump admin illegally failed to include Natanson is a journalist on their warrant.

Me holding a beautiful barn owl

#SuperbOwl you say? Well okay then!

A brown and grey owl with squinting eyes pokes its head out of a nesting box covered in pine bark to mimic a tree hollow. Next to it is the fluffy yellow and black head of a young duckling. Their eyes are lined up vertically, which make it look like they're cheek to cheek. CREDIT: Laurie Wolf "Amateur photographer Laurie Wolf captured this image of a duckling sharing a nest with an owl in her backyard in Jupiter, Florida." Sorry, I stole this from the article. My apologies to the original photographer.

There's a real story behind this photo by Laurie Wolf of a nesting box in her back yard & I'll share a NatGeo article by @bittelmethis.bsky.social

A mama eastern screech owl (Megascops asio) hatched a wood duckling (Aix sponsa).

This is likely a case of brood parasitism. Let's talk about it.

It's become a tradition for me to post this short video I recorded of a Barred Owl for #SuperbOwlSunday!

ALT: A dark grey flier with bold white text. In the center is a photo of Levi's Stadium with Kristi Noem, glowing red eyes and all, rising through the center. It reads: "ICE OUT OF THE SUPERBOWL PROTEST STOP THE DEPORTATIONS! SUNDAY FEB. 8TH @3pm 2800 Mission College Blvd Santa Clara CA 95054" Bordering the two sides are logos for the 12 organizers: Hero Tent, Vigil4Gaza, NODUTDOL, DSA - Silicon Valley, SDS - San José, JVP, FRSO, CSO - San José, San José Peace & Justice Center, Human Agenda, San José Against War, Green Party

A sea of people line the sidewalk on one side of the street. Sprinkled throughout the crowd are green-vested organizers.

Heyo! I am here in #SantaClaraCA for an anti-ICE protest that is currently gathering in front of Our Lady of Peace, a Catholic church not far from Levi's Stadium, where #SuperBowlLX is due to begin at 3 p.m.

There are already 250-300 people here with more than a half hour until the official start.

Kidney recipient arrested by ICE in Rochester last week still isn't getting needed medications The wife of a kidney transplant recipient tells MPR News that four days after his arrest, the man still has not received the medications he needs to keep his body from rejecting the kidney.

By late Friday afternoon, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement saying authorities had received Abreu-Vasquez's medications and that ICE would work to ensure he received them.

But on Sunday afternoon, his wife told MPR News that he still hadn't received the life-saving medication.
