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."

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."

They told us there was no money for healthcare.
No money for kids.
No money for families drowning in medical bills.
But there’s always money for ICE. More cages. More raids. More cruelty.
That’s not a budget problem. That’s a values problem.
Fund care, not punishment.

The unmelting ice/snowcrete is pushing more birds to the roadside, and I have never seen so many fox sparrows! Plus, Mr. & Mrs. Eastern towhee, hermit thrushes, and hundreds of white-throated sparrows! 🪶 #birds #NorthPointStatePark

I got a hot tip about a Lapland longspur in the general area, and I joined the brave, hardy souls seeking out this life (for almost all of us). He was very accommodating! Bonus: horned lark 😊 🪶 #birds

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

The birds knew the storm was coming... It was a flurry of activity yesterday with birds eating, foraging, scoping out tree holes, and fluffing up to stay warm. At one point the ground was alive with sparrows foraging for insects in leaf litter! 🪶 #birds #CromwellValleyPark

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It was a wonderful day of working together to make sure the maximum amount of people saw the rare birds with minimal disruption. I love it when complete strangers unite to help others 😊 Three lifers today! Female painted bunting, American bittern, and horned lark 🪶 #birds #BombayHookNWR
