#BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WinterSurvivors - birds that remain throughout the winter. Here's a nuthatch taking advantage of a well-stocked bird table.

This is a truly depressing story. I honestly wonder what some people are smoking when they do stuff like this. Because (a) it's a shit thing to do, (b) it can't do you any good anyway and (c) you will get found out.

Why might Labour Together have thought they could do exactly this stuff and get away with it regardless, even if they did get found out? Could anything have happened that encouraged them to believe in their own impunity for all kinds of horrible behaviour.

Shapiro admin tells ICE to drop plans for PA detention centers ICE detention centers planned for Berks and Schuylkill Counties would burden residents and possibly violate state legal requirements, officials say.

IL is one of 38 states that criminalize free speech on Israel. ILโ€™s anti-BDS policy prohibits state pension funds from investing in foreign companies that boycott Israel - enabling its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

But you can do something about it.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who canโ€™t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

ALFORD: We're not doing the drop boxes, which led to a lot of mistrust during the 2020 election


BORIS SANCHEZ: Well, a lot of that mistrust was sewn by the president, who made repeated false claims about widespread election fraud when there was none

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Hillary saying โ€œmy husband and Barack Obama deported more peopleโ€ really isnโ€™t good messaging and a prime example of why she needs to just step away.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid Sheโ€™s only 36, and thereโ€™s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it โ€” if the white house is her ambition โ€” then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring
