They would seem to be good candidates to apply for a compensation from Trump‘s weaponization fund. When they are denied relief, they will have standing to sue and challenge the whole slimy apparatus.

Implicit (but rarely stated directly) in the tributes to Colbert is that he is pretty obviously being taken off the air because Trump's FCC loyalists engaged in viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment by conditioning anti-trust approval of a corporate merger on his being fired.

My first try at the #headshots theme for #birdoftheday was sadly ruled "the wrong kind of head" by @robcrank68.bsky.social. So here's a proper birding headshot: a roseate spoonbill showing off its magical red eye... #photography #birds

for those of you who've been following the Wisconsin story of a Watertown school board censoring a school band's instrumental tribute to Marsha P. Johnson, the students are now playing it at multiple sold-out events around WI, one conducted by the piece's literal composer:

Had a pretty amazing encounter with a Virginia Rail yesterday & got a good image for @drbrianpet.bsky.social's #ThirdEyelidThursday 🪶

This week, the GOP has officially become the party of Beating Cops & Fucking Children. And they'll continue to protect the men who do both.

We need to take this "nihilistic hate" jargon and throw it in the trash. Definitionally, it means nothing. Law enforcement is only interested in it because it helps them obscure right-wing extremist violence. The public finds the concept offensive. Just drop it, imo www.cbsnews.com/news/san-die...

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Grassland any bird pictured with grass. The alt is #red any bird with red in its plumage. This #SandhillCrane with their colt qualifies nicely! July 2024 in Illinois #birds

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: However it might play out, if you don’t impeach this guy for committing these crimes right in the open then you’re editing impeachment out of the Constitution and just kissing checks and balances goodbye.

Eugene Vindman sucks.

These dipshits broke the law by trying to overturn an election and now your tax dollars will be going to support their lifestyle of chatting online with FBI agents posing as 14 year olds.

Don’t really care if you use DoorDash or not but you should have Catholic Guilt about it

A Swainson’s hawk for the #WingsWideOpen theme of #BirdOfTheDay picked by @robcrank68.bsky.social About 2 dozen of these followed a mower driving across a field, occasionally diving to grab a rodent. They are listed threatened by the state of California. #birds #nature #ECK

So fucking dumb.

CALL YOUR REPS NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! HR 2616 was snuck onto the calendar for a vote TOMORROW. This is a pro book banning bill which seeks to ban ALL books by or about trans individuals.

Whether the LGB stand up for the T, whether the LGB instead backstab the T … this fucking *matters*. Trans people are literally dying.

#WingsWideOpen is today's #BirdOfTheDay theme. Here's a Merlin and a Red-tailed Hawk. #birds #photography #naturephotography #nature

That America is now a kleptocracy is beyond dispute. That it's happening in broad daylight without serious pushback is beyond devastating. Where is the rule of law?

Look, a lot of people are making themselves helpless or attempting the usual cope--beating up Dems. But this SHOULD BE an INSANELY EASY way to hang Trump's corruption on every single GOPer. Feeling frustrated? Think of some way to do that, whether calling your OWN reps, going to town hall.

No it doesn’t. It attempts to do something illegal. It is a crime being committed before our eyes. Any Dem candidate must commit to prosecuting them.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I think there’s a high likelihood they’re building that “ballroom” to serve as a bunker for operations if violence breaks out when they refuse to handover power.

No but like seriously everyone go pay for journalism. Pay NPR or if not us pay someone else. Just please pay someone or else seriously all these big ships are going to keep slowwwwwwly sinking.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #scrollback. A Costa's Hummingbird that visited this same Agave each morning. It was in the yard of a house we rented in Palm Spring recently. A bonus to coffee on the porch! #birds #hummingbird #nature #photography

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

Republicans are doing all this redistricting to support a man who is in the Epstein files.

Taking millions in taxpayer money and giving it to people who don’t deserve it with no oversight on how that money is spent….kinda sounds like the school voucher scam.

The call of the wild. A sandhill crane returns a call to others that are unseen in the distance. #birds #birdoftheday #scrollback #crane #sandhillcrane #protectnature #wildlife #EastCoastKin

There is no settlement. No matter how much and how often Trump and the DoJ say this is a settlement, the judge in the case says otherwise.

Rob Crank says: Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #DucksInTheAir, any Duck that's flying, the Alt Theme #Feeders, any bird on a Bird Feeder. #birds #photography #ECK 3 flying Mallards coming in for a landing! (Might as well put #MallardMonday too!)😁

Dear automated phone tree, we both know your menu options haven't actually recently changed, so why don't we skip the formalities and cut to the part where I yell "representative" six times and you connect me to a human

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

Trump was convicted of fraud six weeks before Republicans nominated him. He has plundered the treasury since taking office to an extent never seen before in US history.

The “we don’t have the votes” excuse for refusing to force a vote on impeachment is conceding the point and saying even the opposition party doesn’t think this high crime merits removal from office. It’s not being politically astute and pragmatic, it’s self-defeating in its cowardice.

Anyone in the media who doesn't report this as the corrupt act by a president in US history can fuck off.

If you love your trans friends but don't know how to support them, making the effort to stay informed is an important step and an easy place to start.

I want to know the name of the judge who presided over this. I want that judge’s name and email address public. I want people to be able to ask that judge what the fuck was wrong with him or her. /1

Gonna call and read this to my congress lady's office.

Good Morning? Probably not for this unlucky snake though… Red-tailed Hawk

Why are all U.S. military strikes now described as "kinetic," which means "relating to or resulting from motion," so it means...absolutely nothing? The gobbledygook is just meant to further numb you to the fact that human beings are getting their heads or arms blown off by bombs from our mad king
