Let’s see if I can continue my recent hot streak with today’s bird of the day. A few photos of various Eurasian oystercatchers (haematopus ostralegus) from over the years. As my good friend calls them, “Magpies with carrots on their face”. #Birds #WildlifePhotography #UKWildlife #Oystercatcher

A huge thank you to these brave souls. It was windy AF on Saturday. I live about 90 miles due east of Minneapolis, and I about froze to death just walking to & from my car. Good on them. fightbacknews.org/articles/tho...

Meiselas: Are there any FBI or DOJ whistleblowers who may be on the horizon—people upset about how this was handled and who may have information? Khanna: We’ve had some approach our office and the committee. There are people who are upset about the noncompliance with the law

"Recent polling shows a broad public turn toward progressive populism: the kind that seeks to reverse the upward redistribution of income and wealth to our billionaires and to make life’s necessities affordable for the majority of the American people." #TaxJustice

Y would that decision take more than a day, a week at best? It’s really quite simple and a clear yes to stop it.

On Friday, the federal judge Casey Pitts ordered a halt to courthouse arrests in Northern California and the Pacific Islands. A final ruling on whether the practice can continue is expected in the coming months.

NEW: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Officer Danny Hodges have filed their response to the government's arguments against hanging the January 6th plaque in the Capitol pursuant to federal law. I'll post a link to the full filing once it's on the docket.

Streaming series whose promotional material promises Big Things for the season one finale, then just keeps going indefinitely without ever announcing a formal season break, leaving folks to speculate like "wait... was that it just now?"

so the two notable programming moves bari weiss has made at CBS are... airing an interview nobody watched and not airing a 60 Minutes segment that everybody watched. it's like she's satirizing herself

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Well, genius, a President is a politician. The fact you trust a pathologically lying, narcissistic, sociopath tells me a great deal about your poor choices.

Another pretty wintery sunset, splashed across the tops of the trees this time. 😊💙💜 #nature #skies #sky #sunset #dusk #beauty #hope #peace 🕊

Khanna: You’ve got the DOJ releasing the names of survivors—which they are not allowed to do by law—but not releasing the FBI interview files with those same survivors. Those FBI interviews contain the names of other men: Wall Street tycoons and politicians…

We have a president who WILL DO WHATEVER PUTIN WANTS HIM TO DO.

La Luna.

NASHVILLE - TN HS Dems Tennessee High School Dems deliver a petition to Senator @MarshaBlackburn to stop the just-announced government partnership forcing TP USA chapters into every school in Tennessee. (“to stop far right extremism”)

anyway good night

Monday night’s curved viewing line nearly stretches to the border of Minnesota and Iowa.

He's just a baby!

Release the un-redacted Epstein files. America deserves the truth.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

But offshore drilling doesn’t? My gosh what do they do when the hurricane winds come close or on shore?

Well, make them do 1 unredacted dump now and let’s find out.

Bill Clinton isnt afraid of the Epstein files. I did NOT expect him to call for the files that reference him to be released in accordance to the law so Im pretty surprised! Is this a double fake out?

Felon autocrat Trump and his buddies are engineering state-run media, turning the U.S. into the next North Korea or Russia. CBS should be ashamed for making themselves complicit in this destruction of democracy.

Yes he is absolutely correct. Anyone with a basic public school history education knows this. Between the 2class society and religious governing every empire, democracy, empire and nation has fallen.

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes. The Wall Street Journal attacked him for it. But he’s right—and ignoring the math is how democracies crack. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

We've been kissing 😘 under the mistletoe already! 🤗 You should too! 🥰

My cat was trying to climb on my chest and was staring at me with such big confused eyes when I stopped her 😭 i tried to direct her to lay on my lap but she decided to lay down on the bed pressed up against my legs..... babieeeee

Perfect.

Senator Bernie Sanders will administer the oath of office to New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani during his public swearing-in ceremony at City Hall on January 1. trib.al/ylTzosO

It’s so obvious. They can prove us wrong anytime they want to. Release full unredacted files now!! All at once no more drip dropping bits and pieces.

Donald Trump is guilty AF.

Used to for me also. Until I realized most of those who use this like to start a controversial discussion, find they don’t know much so pull the ‘no politics today’, or ‘I don’t want to make it political’. Political and religious discussions are good, actually allow differences to be expressed.

not speaking politics is not a virtue and it makes me so uncomfortable when people imply it is

God, if you are listening...

Glutamate is the primary molecule that neurons use to communicate with each other. Previously, scientists have mostly recorded when neurons fire output signals, but now with a new glutamate indicator, they can record the many inputs that causes cells to fire. 🧵 #neuroskyence

On the Larry Nassar letter from Epstein. FBI did request handwriting analysis of it suggesting they were not convinced it was actually from Epstein. That is in the files I believe. But what is NOT available (as far as I have seen as I post this) is what the analysis found.

Waxing crescent and sunset over New Haven Harbor.

Run by an absolute idiot. How many planes fell off carriers? How much intel has been leaked? How many crimes of war committed? They need to cut that budget not expand it.
