Screenshot of a tweet from Bob Rae, saying “Canada's fight back has to go beyond tariffs and trade. It has to include the global implications of the attacks on democracy, development, and human rights, as well as tactics and strategies that rely on bullying, hatred, and the obliteration of international law. We are in the fight of our lives.”

I made a collage of exactly that, as a reminder that for every good shot there are 100 bad ones.
A collage of three photos of raptors in flight, which are out of focus, out of frame, or generally bad.
