The #BirdOfTheDay theme today from @alan678.bsky.social is #least and this means the bird in your camera roll that you have the least captures of. Probably this Buff-rumped Warbler from Panamá. Early in the morning, jumping around on the forest floor. Very tricky. #birds #photography

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

@robcrank68.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingOnThings with alternate of #gulls. Enjoy and play along.

Happy Birthday to the one & only Bonnie Raitt, the only interviewee who has ever cried tears of joy – & disbelief – when I told her what her music has meant to me over the years. Genuinely one of the most humble & altruistic people I’ve ever had the privilege to profile:
‘I’m living for the ones who didn’t make it’: Bonnie Raitt on her unquenchable thirst for music
As she wins a lifetime achievement Grammy at 72, the US singer who crossed blues with pop is still determined to support artists who never got their dues

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are. Independent monitors in Nigeria report 33 deaths this year in attacks against Christians (fewer than the 88 Muslims killed). But Trump cut off aid that helped save 270,000 lives a year in Nigeria. 270,000 > 33.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay from @robcrank68.bsky.social is all about #Fighting birds. Hummingbirds fighting (so territorial) and a turkey vulture being chased by a kingfisher (I think) and a red-winged blackbird. My wife loves the little birds fighting off the big birds. #birds #photography

Remote work enables a wider range of people to work- disabled folks, non-drivers, caregivers, etc.
Remote work also reduces the opportunities for predatory managers to sexually harass or assault people under them.

1) Telework increases the pool of talent, aids in recruitment & retention of state employees.
2) Telework increases road safety, reduces traffic congestion & addresses climate change.
3) Telework opens the possibility of transforming offices into much needed housing.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.
Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.
Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.
