A toad sitting in shallow running water! They have very, very bumpy skin and a bright yellow-orange patch on their chin and belly!
Our friend the Apennine Yellow-bellied Toad lives in southern Italy! They only lay a few eggs at a time but are believed to breed several times a year! They also have heart-shaped pupils! A great toad for Valentine's Day! (photo by Giacomo Gola)

1) This is all just so [bleep]ing stupid. I'm a poll worker. NO ONE can vote if they're not in the poll book. You can't get in the poll book without registering, and you can't register if you're not a citizen.

People talking about terrible teachers and gender bias in STEM fields & I can remember when the anatomy teacher tried to keep a girl from going on a field trip to Chico State to view a cadaver. Her mom raised absolute hell & now that girl has a Ph.d in molecular biology and leads R&D.

Democrats need to take the worst Epstein emails and turn them into full-size ads. Giant screenshots of these emails with a QR code that links to a website. Put them in subways and buses and on billboards. A 30 sec. commercial that has just the email on screen and the QR code and nothing else.

NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October ๐ฌ), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Talked to an immigrant recently and he told me that in some communities people have been abandoning blue states to, in essence, hide out in red states until the Orangutan in Chief's revenge against blue states ends.
We both agreed that red state people will really love that.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all whatโs being done to us.
