I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I've not added a photo or posted for a while... But I have just processed these photos of the beautiful bee eater, I took the photos in July in Romania. I used an r7 and old 200mm prime - hence heavy cropping, I then combined into one image -what do you think? #photography #nature #wildlfe #birds

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Take a peek! 👀 This week, we’re joined by talented young photographer Jamie Smart, also known as ‘Eagle Eyed Girl’, over on our Instagram feed. From rutting deer to diving gannets, this award-winning photographer certainly knows how to capture the character of UK nature. 💙

A bird I only see a few times a year (if that), a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. These birds are one of the few species able to eat hairy caterpillars. Cuckoos have a special stomach lining that prevents the prickly hairs of hairy caterpillars from doing damage to their digestive system.

Yet, freedom appeals in Silhouette green, life forms where the unfinished waits. South, as the soil greets, It anchors beneath.. The open frame, carrying both the weight of light and the wish to be unseen by it. #Dark

We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.

I feel badly for Scotland and England but while he’s out of the country, can someone please change the locks?

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

A French court has ruled to strip Marine Le Pen of her role as a local representative in the northern region of Pas-de-Calais as a result of being found guilty of embezzling public funds.

Class and dignity in everything.

The European Union breathed a huge sigh of relief tonight as moderate Bucharest Mayor Nicușor Dan fended off a fierce hard-right challenge to win the Romanian presidential election.

Great place for birding...

It would be stupid not to accept a gift of a free plane? Donold, let me tell you a story about a wooden horse...

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

“Despite all of these arrivals there are still 131,000 vacancies in care. The sector say there is no way they can fill these jobs with British workers” The care sector is already on its knees and the government knows it

It was not a bribe. It was simply a squid pro quo type of deal.

All you need to know about the Republican tax plan: The wealthiest 5% would get tax breaks. Everyone else would see crucial health care and nutrition assistance programs slashed. Call your reps.

@billshaner.bsky.social reports from the scene of a brutal ICE arrest in Worcester, Massachusetts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

The U.S. has surpassed 1,000 measles cases for the first time in five years, with 96% involving unvaccinated individuals or those with unknown vaccination status. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. has repeatedly claimed that measles can be treated with vitamin A.

At Pope Leo XIV's first Mass as leader on Friday, he pledged to align himself with “ordinary people” and not with the rich and powerful. Many see the first American pope as a continuation of his predecessor, Pope Francis, in his advocacy of the poor, migrants and a more open church.
