Seeing one of these amazing birds is very high on my bucket list.
There are only 244 alive now, and thanks to the heroic efforts of people like @digs.bsky.social they have the best chance to remain with us. #kakapo #birds #GoodSouls

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later.

Wonder why that is.

Powerful Owl pair sleeping at dusk in a Brisbane conservation park yesterday. After sunset they were allopreening ("kissing"). There was a sign at the entrance saying there would be burn offs, so the Powerful Owl Project will get in touch today to say the POwls are there & where the nest hollow is.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

With all due respect @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social what we've said is defund and shut ICE down.
You can't reform what already believes it is unaccountable to laws and ethics.
Jeffries on Fox News: "Your own poll has shown that everyday Americans have concluded ICE has gone too far and that behavior needs to be reined in."

This needs to happen to Tuberville too.
Alabama Republican Barry Moore held a town hall and said migrants are not allowed due process. His constituents heckled him, chanting “shame, shame” as the coward made his hasty exit.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

Children don't 'circle the drain' like sick adults do.
They don't tend to 'linger' - they hit a certain point and crash hard and fast.
Am deeply worried for Liam Conejo Ramos.

An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

If Stephen Miller is still in the White House, that means the white nationalist gameplan is still all systems GO.

What we're witnessing is just window dressing and distractions.

Tom Homan is just as bad as Bovino, but less openly Nazi.

Keep your eyes wide open.
