American Wigeons are cute ducks with pale blue beaks, an iridescent green patch on the wings, and the males have a fancy iridescent green noggin stripe and a white cap. These birds are grazers with their stubby beak being ideal for pulling up and eating vegetation.

On U.S. complicity in the unfolding massacres: "The U.S. should halt arms transfers to the UAE, which is supplying the RSF with the weapons used to carry out atrocities in Darfur. Failure to take action could condemn hundreds of thousands more civilians to death at the hands of genocidal forces."
US Urged to End Arms Sales to UAE as It Backs Genocidal Paramilitary in Sudan
The US has provided the UAE with billions of dollars’ worth of weapons, even as it’s funneled weapons into Sudan.

The one call to action people could amplify is a trade and arms embargo on the UAE until they stop arming and supporting the RSF. The UAE is one of Canada and the US’ biggest trading partners in the MENA region.

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.
