Hunters target older birds living in remote areas, as they know more songs than young ones and are prized by buyers.
Just like trophy hunting goes for the more experienced individuals, the songbird trade removes culture repositories from bird communities.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

We are in a time we couldn't have imagined as children when the question of whether all Americans, or only some, should be equal before the law, retain inalienable rights, and have a voice in their governance is a greater divide than tax policies or national defense, or any other traditional schism.

Nobody on the left (that I'm aware of) marched through Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us."
Nick Fuentes did. He and everyone else that marched with him voted Republican. That doesn't mean that all Republicans are Nazis. But it does mean that Heritage Foundation is supporting Nazis.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR
