Happy Thursday free thinkers in the sky that's blue. As a bad birder, one of the things I love about trying to follow Rob and Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme is it forces me to learn. Today's is #Songbirds and I now know cardinals fit the ... bill ... and the beak 🐦🦉

US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries.
What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

This is what cowardice and complying in advance looks like. Notice members from both parties are on this list. If you aren't actively fighting Trump whose side are you actually on?

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

I don't see it on YouTube, but John Oliver did a segment about wackiness in minor league baseball, which included how one team rebranded as the Rocket City Trash Pandas. They were hesitant to put "trash" in the team name, but then they sold $2.3 million worth of merch before even playing a game.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.
Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Do not obey in advance to a wildly unpopular one term president who is currently fighting wars on multiple fronts for seemingly no reason
Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.
