Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Current chain of command. @gtconway.bsky.social @georgetakei.bsky.social @karenhunter.bsky.social

The Russians always play the long game. Putin is in the driving seat. He has an ally as POTUS, another as DNI and the list goes on. When Patel dismantles the FBI and the work it has done to protect Americans it would be the completion of a Russian coup.

I hate to think so but if the Dems do not act like the soul of this country is at stake we will be proper f’ked. What we are seeing is paralysis by analysis.

So what is the point of electing pols to represent the will of the people? To fill their pockets and BS is with empty promises?

This is so backwards! I feel for school
administrators when the sh*t hits the fan.

Looking for suggestions to address this issue. At the moment, it looks like a wasted investment as the squirrels chewed through the plastic seeds control dispensers.

You and your colleagues need to do more than just posting to social media. Show up at these locations with a camera crew. Right now it’s as though we are witnessing the beginning of a dictatorship.

Psychological projection nails it.

Correct. And when he accused Biden and Harris and the Democrats of seeking to destroy the country, he was engaging in pure psychological projection.

These are the dems that voted to confirm the guy that just handed the Treasury to Musk:
Blunt Rochester
Booker
Cantwell
Coons
Fetterman
Gallego
Gillibrand
Hassan
Hickenlooper
Kaine
Kelly
King (Independent)
Peters
Shaheen
Slotkin
Warner

I asked Elon’s Grok 2 the question of whether and how you could destroy the country through insane trade wars and hijacking Treasury’s payment system.

And I must say, what I got back seems to be a fairly good analysis.

A Marsh Tit standing on the ground with snow and fallen leaves around, holding a seed in its beak. The bird’s black cap and white cheeks contrast against the wintry background. 雪と落ち葉が散らばる地面に立ち、くちばしに種をくわえたハシブトガラ。黒い頭と白い頬が冬の背景に映える。

The year’s at winter, the day’s at morn;
Morning’s at seven;
Snow lingers on the distant hill;
No Long-tailed Tit to break the chill,
No Varied Tit on branches still,
Marsh Tit pecks the ground forlorn—
All’s quiet with my world.

Melanistic cock Common Pheasant, Kear Hide, Martin Mere. It has beautiful complex iridescent plumage, and red face wattles. The bird is walking through vegetation, looking down as it forages.

What a beauty!

An artist's rendition of a Blackpoll Warbler overlaying a map of North America and the northern portion of South America. The map is covered with migration paths or lines, some starting in Alaska, some in the northwest of Canada others in the northeast of Canada. All travel down to the east coast and then make a transoceanic movement down to South America.

At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today.

Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock.

Great grandchild of Condor # 1.

We as humanity can still do good things.

Success – an important win for nature! 🐝

Today, the UK Government made the only sensible choice - listening to the science and upholding the ban on neonicotinoids.

This pesticide doesn’t belong in our countryside. Farmers now need support to adopt nature-friendly alternatives.

White House sidelines 160 National Security Council staffers, aligning the team with Trump's agenda President Donald Trump’s national security adviser has sidelined about 160 National Security Council staffers, telling them to work from home while the administration reviews staffing and tries to ali...

They are very deliberately and maliciously destroying the country's national security apparatus.

When inevitably there's an attack and US citizens die, the blood will be on this Administration's hands.

Democrats need to build that narrative now.

Not looking to politicize what happened in New Orleans in any capacity, however the lead in the investigation is none other than the outstanding men and women of the FBI. The same organization that Kash Patel is nominated to lead and wants to abolish. Think about that for a moment.
