The Senate will vote this week on whether to strip over a billion dollars in funding from public broadcasting and radio at Trump’s direction.

Why? Because, like every dictator, he knows that his biggest enemy is an educated and informed public. youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?...

Agree. We don’t need to lament wealthy vacation homes falling into the sea, but mostly we need to be compassionate and helpful.
Here are some cool clouds.

‼️Plastic bag bans are actually working!

A major US study found that states charging for, or banning, plastic bags saw up to 47% fewer bags amongst beach litter, compared to places without. The UK saw an 80% drop in bags on beaches after introducing charges too!

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Agree. Painting regions as monoliths isn’t helpful. I’m less merciful toward individuals who voted for this, are suffering negative impacts (including kidnapping of family members by ICE), & now claiming they didn’t vote for this. “Yes, yes you did. Ugh. Want to learn more about how to fight this?”
Because rocks are always in the way.
This.
So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?

Millions of acres worth of public land would be put up for sale in the Senate version of Trump’s big, ugly bill.

It’s a massive privatization of a public good that everyone gets to enjoy – all to finance tax cuts that predominantly flow to the super-rich.

Who'd have thought Germany was standing up to dictatorship when the United States is failing?

What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game?

This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.
LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.
#BirdNerd let’s be sure to provide care to our feathered friends during the upcoming heatwave.
