For today’s #BirdOfTheDay #longnecks prompt…

I’m recycling this shot of a handsome Tricolored #Heron, stretch its neck out to look like a branch while it’s perched in a bare tree (from last winter, I think).

We are blessed with many longnecks here in the #marshes of #coastalgeorgia.

Emmer: "These guys are playing to the most radical, small, and violent base in the country. You'll see them on Saturday on the Mall. They just do not love this country."

Throughout history, people have protested authoritarian governments with a unifying color to symbolize their peaceful resistance. Our movement is no different. Yellow is a bright, unmistakable reminder that millions of us stand together in the belief that America belongs to its people — not kings.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files."

"Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."

So, ACB, why have almost all of these interim responses favored Trump’s actions?

We anxiously await the Court’s TIMELY rulings on the merits. It will be more than interesting to watch the Court twist itself into 4-dimensional pretzels to support Trump’s authoritarian anti-constitutional coup.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

I’ve been saving this one for an Art Challenge and finally made a connection with the #ColorADay #OrangeSun prompt

The near-horizontal #sunlight cast this luscious #orange light onto a living room wall —conjuring a magical ginger jar and the faint of #shadows of window blinds

Good morning, Susan! I’m all set. Just sayin’ hi before I step out for a bit of birding. We have had a little break in the weather — an unexpected upgrade 😊

Hope your Stunday is a good one!

Here’s a second #glow offering for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow.

A lone rider and a couple of camels make their way quietly through the #desertscape while the last sunlight of the day paints a glowing yellow-orange sky over the rocky hills of #WadiRum in #Jordan.

One week from right now, millions of Americans will gather in every state for the biggest day of peaceful protest in American history. Join your local No Kings Day event to make it clear that We The People won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

So Susan — may I call you Susan? Susan, the GOP holds the Senate, House, Supreme Court, and White House. All you need to do is nuke the filibuster in the Senate (just like you all did to runner-Stamp over 100 of Trump’s nominees).

Problem solved and ownership of the solution clearly confirmed.

New from Susan Collins: “I strongly oppose OMB Director Russ Vought’s attempt to permanently lay off federal workers who have been furloughed due to a completely unnecessary government shutdown caused by Senator Schumer.”
