As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

I'm so fucking angry and ashamed and depressed because grotesque fascist kleptocrats are destroying my country and menacing the world with the consent of 49.8% of fellow voters. But there are still #birds. Here's a pair of Sandhill Cranes preening in the lagoon just after sunrise.

Watching this gorgeous little Tricolored Heron nab minnows made me smile. The minnows, not so much; poor fishies were fleeing as if from a T-Rex, which the bird is from their POV. So much of life depends on your perspective! #birds

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
