Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

The first #kakapo chick for four years hatched two days ago (on Valentine’s Day for those who like to anthropomorphise!). Here’s Tiwhiri-A1-2026 in Yasmine’s nest. 📸: Deidre Vercoe. www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-r... #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots #birds

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

OMG the funniest birds ever! Thanks for posting Raider! #WildOz #birds

Female Powerful Owl displaying a bat during a break in the rain this morning is Brisbane. If you look closely you can see the head of her partner at the bottom. #brisbane #birds #wiloz

So much fuchsia, Mr Anna’s is sporting nice color for #Valentine’sDay! He is stopping by the #HummingbirdBuddy to see which ‘flower’ has the best juice. #iridescence #birds

Really looking forward to reading this! @jennbudd.bsky.social

I haven't seen this covered in any news outlets of note. Yet. It's rather shocking imo. What in the hell is going on at the SSA?

When is her ever-present crucifix finally going to turn on her?

Nice! This is in the current Land for Wildlife magazine. Great to see the @birdlifeoz.bsky.social Powerful Owl Project getting coverage, and nice to be name checked :-)

Good morning! 🪶

Our daughter has a good friend that works for Starbucks, and her recent work schedule was slashed to only two days per week jepordizing her health insurance. Why? Pressure from the higher ups to "cut labor costs." Oh, and so the CEO gets more jet time. @sbworkersunited.org

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

RFK Jr's dismissal of anything rooted in mRNA science is built on a hefty pack of lies, but you wouldn't know that from Amazon book reviews. Can't imagine why that is. 🤔

A Black and White Owl! I definitely wasn’t expecting to see an owl in the limited time I had in Costa Rica 🤩🤯 #birds #owls #CostaRica

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

After last year's irruption year (explosion in numbers), things have been much slower this year on the Great Grey Owl front. They are such beautiful creatures. #wildlife #owls

Good morning! 🪶

Of course they did which makes all of this so much more monstrous and evil.

Bring back firing squads for anyone involved. Don’t care who.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Colors are mesmerizing, Steve! The second shot is my go-to mood these days. 🪶 #birds

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

Espectáculo de medio tiempo extra picante! #BadBunny 🇵🇷

Holy hell 😳

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

I’m betting Comer will suddenly lose interest in this hearing.

Amazing news! Really hoping these #birds have a good rebound this year.

Good morning! 🪶

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

I would never. 🤣

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

Fun new-to-me Black History Month fact that I just learned while listening to public radio: Langston Hughes, the famed poet and activist, was also a composer! WQXR is doing a special tonight on his music www.wqxr.org/story/271251...

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
