ah yes surely *checks notes* building a massive 5-lane highway that is still entirely within striking distance of the power that closed the Strait of Hormuz to do nothing but carry oil while hostilities last will solve the problem.

Gulls didn't seem to mind the wind and the cold. Everyone else was relatively quiet this

, which I planned around a family of grackles I know so I could spot my bird of the day (check 🤓). Also saw a little quiet cluster of juncos. 🥰

This is Strawberry. She was almost euthanized in a shelter because of the bump on her noggin. Fortunately it was harmless scar tissue from an old injury. Her unique appearance helped her get the attention of a forever family, who love her just the way she is. 14/10 (IG: strawberrytheunicorndog)

The CoOp had a soundtrack station on and I'm fairly certain it was playing a song from the remake of Suspiria while I was shopping which made for a very interesting (to me) lunch errand.

MEAN Arms is now banned from selling its magazine lock in New York and must pay $1.75 million to those injured and impacted by this tragedy. While no amount of money can bring back those we lost or erase the devastation from this terror, today, justice looks like accountability.

My office, Everytown, GIFFORDS, and law firms are holding Mean Arms, a gun parts marker, accountable for aiding the shooter in the attack at Tops in Buffalo. Mean Arms sold a magazine lock that the shooter easily removed to turn his gun into a deadly assault weapon.

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.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

Arresting journalists is a central tool of autocrats and fascists. Journalist Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities, his attorney says.

Don Lemon arrested by federal authorities, his attorney says
It was not immediately clear why Lemon was arrested. The Justice Department promised to pursue charges against him after the independent journalist covered a protest in a Minnesota church last week.
