🚨 FYI birders: David Sibley's FB page has been hacked, and the hackers are posting truly awful content. FB won't let him into his page and they won't shut down the account. His Instagram account seems to be OK, and there are 2 pinned tweets there warning about the FB hack.😡

See ya next Monday, Chicago, outbound to Portugal via Zurich! Another lovely vid from our friend AV8 who shot this a couple weeks ago. Love how the city is nestled up against the lake they call Michigan. IYKYK.😍

Another fun vid from our friend, AV8. Always intrigued by flying between decks and the whimsical pilot's glory. I've only seen this a couple times myself when flying, depending as it does on sunlight and which side of the plane you're on.😊✈️ Sound up!🔈🔉🔊

My law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump and the GOP have launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to keep you informed. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Trump is heading to Scotland for a five-day visit, hoping to escape the chaos in D.C. and growing scrutiny over the Epstein files. Meanwhile, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is gearing up with mass protests and even “Twinned with Epstein Island” signs planted near his golf course. 😂 Love you, Scotland!

Wow, if you love airplanes and aerobatics and fireworks, you gotta be watching the EAA AirVenture from Oshkosh, WI. A week-long airshow and the world's largest. I didn't know about the live stream until tonight, and it's giving me goosebumps. Truly spectacular!!

Happy Juneteenth.

We survived the Confederacy once. We'll survive the Nazifederacy too.

None of us is free until ALL of us are free.

If “woke” is “an awareness of social justice and inequality as well as a commitment to challenging prejudice and discrimination” … doesn’t “anti-woke” just mean that person is a racist piece of shit?

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Honestly, I think the CO of our local Fighter Wing deliberately waits for cloudy days to fly sorties over my end of town. Can hear those F-35 afterburners kick in overhead but can't see 'em.😭😭😭

In honor of those who fell in service to something greater than themselves... this powerful image from a pilot, our friend AV8, who watched over them, and so many more, on their last journey home.🫂💔🇺🇸

I love my Uber drivers. Yesterday, I had a guy originally from Tripoli, Libya, and because I had a multi-stop itinerary, we had a lovely long convo about Egypt first and then a bucket list place for me in Libya, Leptis Magna.🌍🏛🛫

I realize I’m just shouting into the wind here, but: please, please, please stop posting screenshots without links, or summarizing breaking news events without links. There’s a serious problem with unsourced assertions all over the world right now, don’t be part of the problem.
