Today's alternative #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Finches. Here's a "Parrot of the North" or alternatively a male Pine Grosbeak, a large member of the finch family.

Photographed in light snow and terrible light at -25°C in central Saskatchewan.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.

What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.

“She was so afraid they would take her baby”

Why?

ICE is using smartwatches to track pregnant women — even *during* labor…

So pregnant immigrants are skipping the doctor altogether
