If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Talking to you @cnn.com @nytimes.com

It's Skimmer Time - Still have a few good Black Skimmer shots to share. Really enjoyed watching them this year.🪶

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Sometimes you just need a basket full of baby otters to make your day complete. Oh, look what I found! You can thank me later...

Sen. Warner to RFK, jr: “How can you be that ignorant” - as the Secretary of HHS to not know how many Americans died from COVID. youtube.com/shorts/1Snfw...

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

Same judge. While Miller rails about judges.

So it’s back to me to host #BirdOfTheDay and I’m thinking Ministry of Silly #Walks so basically any bird walking. The alternative is #photobomb when a bird flys or walks into shot. I’ve captioned this 👇“When you tell a teenager to do anything.” 😁 Good luck!! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

How does this little twerp get the power to refuse to swear in a duly elected member of Congress – asking for Arizona asking for the USA

Climate Scientists Raise a Middle Finger to Trump’s Censorship Efforts

Someone had to say it. Thank you, @duckworth.senate.gov

NEW: In my OUR LAND newsletter, I look at the chilling effect that's hitting FBI agents and all federal investigators. Any crook or grifter with a Trump connection is now protected. link.motherjones.com/public/41773... You can sign up for a FREE trial subscription to OUR LAND at davidcorn.com.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I chuckled at "lost confidence" because no medical professional ever thought RFK Jr. was qualified for this job. I know this is standard language though..🤷‍♂️

Crockett on Homan: For instance, when you are talking about solicitation, and it has to do with, say, prostitution, it's not a matter of whether or not the prostitution took place. The solicitation is complete. Once you actually engage in the agreement, that is enough for solicitation.

As People Mag Points out, a treatment for autism Dr. Oz just announced Trump’s FDA is approving is sold by a supplement company owned by… Dr. Oz. people.com/what-is-leuc...

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

Himes: ABC took Jimmy Kimmel off the air because Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, didn’t like some things Kimmel said.. I’m talking to you now because I’m just getting so damn sick of people who claim to be for free speech but turn out to only support free speech for people they agree with.

This stunning Hoopoe did the right thing for a change and just sat on this rock next to my car for a photo session 😂 Most have gone but we always have a few winter here. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2025 #Alicante #canonphotography

"The report cited an attack on Gaza’s largest fertility clinic, which reportedly destroyed 4,000 embryos and 1,000 sperm samples and fertilized eggs, as a measure intended to prevent births."

“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat. I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.

In memory of Melissa Hortman and her husband victims of political persecution and hate. May you both rest in peace.

What really harms one's health is political violence. But, at the Washington Post, you can't write about THAT, of course..... bsky.app/profile/kris...

In her years at the Washington Post Karen Attiah was a tireless voice for justice for murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a sharp, often funny, always grounded voice on the pages of the paper. The Washington Post fired her for telling the truth.

“How you die does not redeem how you lived”. Amen to that.

The right ignored the murder of the Minnesota House Speaker by a guy who had a hit list of Democrats he was targeting to flip control of the chamber to Republicans. Asked about that assassination today, the president said he didn't know who she was and a Fox host said he didn't care she was killed.

This isn't entirely right -- as people in the replies noted, Sen. Mike Lee didn't ignore the assassinations, he just told jokes about it online and ludicrously blamed the far left.

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

New article! A lot happened this week, so I wrote about how Antonin Dvorak wrote his greatest works in Spillville, Iowa in the summer of 1893. And about saying goodbye: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/dvorak-liv...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Stephen Colbert's Emmy victory speech: "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. I have never loved my country more desperately. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!"

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.

On June 20, 2023, Charlie Kirk said this about Black people: "They were better off in the 1940's. It was bad, it was evil, but what happened? They committed less crimes."

Charlie Kirk said that he would force his 10-year-old daughter to carry a pregnancy to term if she was raped.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

A juvenile cardinal, perched on a patio chair, watches me through my patio door. He shows very little fear. #cardinal #birds #wildlifephotography #nature.

This mostly black butterfly seems to love my honeysuckle vine. #butterfly #nature #wildlifephotography

This juvenile groundhog doesn’t seem at all bothered by my presence. It seems that it’s really HIS yard, not ours. #nature #wildlifephotography #groundhog
