That’s a Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax).

You can identify it by its stocky build, short neck, and the distinctive combination of gray wings, a pale belly, and a black crown and back. Its red eyes are a giveaway. These standing very still as they hunt for fish, frogs, or insects.

Arizona weather feels like San Diego today, but only San Diego people make it San Diego. Best vibe on the planet. Sooo chill.

Call me crazy, but I’m really starting to think that putting stupid amoral fuckwads in charge of everything is a bad idea

Republicans mostly silent as millions of Americans protest Trump on No Kings day Outside of typical remarks from Donald Trump, JD Vance and Mike Johnson and a Fox News report, party stayed mum

Even The Guardian couldn’t miss it: from inflatable chickens to roaring crowds in ruby-red towns, America roared: we don’t do kings here.

Republicans stayed quiet while democracy showed up in the streets.πŸ”₯

If we can have a president that admits to grabbing pussies, why can’t we have a protester in a dick costume?

This one really left an impression because just this morning I heard from multiple people in the neighborhood who were too scared to go downtown. And I understand why, so all the more important that so many others showed up to express their deep care for rule of law, democracy, and solidarity

Trump and the Republicans are denying you healthcare while they supply Kristi Noem with two luxury Gulfstream private jets for $172,000,000.

Facts.

Remember, there are two MILLION more registered Dems than Republicans in Texas. It’s just the gerrymandering that stops them. But they won’t stop us now.

No Kings Day should always be followed up by a nice big Mexican meal and margaritas.

What’s crazy is that no one seems do be dropping their trousers or shitting on desks or walls.

Oh, right… that was MAGA, not Antifa.
