A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.

Some unseasonable birds seen in Seaton during my lunch break today. The lesser whitethroat is thought to be of the Siberian subspecies which is really cool. There are apparently two of them over-wintering in this very small oasis in Devon. #DevonBirds #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlife #Birds

I’ve loved Fernando Ortega's music for decades. Then I found out he was a birder, too. (Be still, my heart!)
Still pinching myself that he was kind enough to say such nice things about Weathering Change.

Renee Good was murdered in broad daylight, and Republicans are acting as if it is ok. Where is your decency? Where is your humanity? When will y’all develop a backbone and actually represent the people that sent you here?

Kristi Noem is a stone-cold liar who has zero credibility.
There is nothing to suggest the shooting of an unarmed woman in Minneapolis was justified.
This heinous killing must be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law.

Appreciate not only the display of humanity here, but also @pbump.com taking a second to note that there have been many other instances this year where other families probably felt the same way he does now.

Just saw a picture of stuffed animals in the woman's car and man...I really am struggling to find the words right now. This is all just so unspeakably devastating, and I don't know how we come back from it.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Presidential power is only to serve “We the people”. He is madly mistaken.
President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.
Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

The new Knives Out movie is absolutely fantastic. It’s fresh on my mind, but it may be the best of the three. Themes of faith and doubt. Questions about the role of the church and its relationship to the world. Thumbs way up.
