Speaker Johnson doesn’t want us to see what’s in that House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz.

Does he not know about the Streisand Effect?!

Northern nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) 🪶 Сокерица

This is in my opinion the most beautiful corvid in Europe. The nutcracker prefers high altitudes where it has become well adjusted to the human presence and frequents huts and other settlements which provide ample easy food sources.

How do you face fascism? I like Orwell's version: ground yourself in direct and immediate experience, trust your senses, find some joy, turn back to face the fascists and tell truths to combat the lies.
