OMG! You GUYS! You can get a pigeon picture just for doing a thing you're probably already doing or considering doing!
I want to unload some of these pigeon paintings so all the ones in this thread are available for best offer prices (min $50) in donations MN mutual funds, the Immigrant Defense Project, or AABB.

DM if interested!

#PigeonSky Passing a large building in the city centre today, on the way home from work, I heard juvenile squeaks. I looked closely, and saw a very large (almost adult), fluffy pidgeolescent under some of the stonework. I took a couple of pictures (still in camera just now).

Today we celebrate Zack Polanski! A British politician and, as of Sept 2025, leader of the UK Green Party. Jewish, gay, and vegan, he’s spoken out for gay and trans rights while focusing on Gaza, the climate crisis, and the cost-of-living crisis.

#BirdSky #Birds Spuggies!
2 am, sorting photos, in May 2025 birds navigate their young ones through brushes and trees with food bribes and towards the feeders later on, once they fulfilled the main quest in a big spruce tree, I have found a few takes from that event 🪶 #sparrow

When will the UK government... "Think what a difference that would have made to tax & spend decisions …?"
Estimates of the economic costs of Brexit continue to grow. Now showing UK economy between 6 and 8 percent smaller than it would have been. That in turn means £60bn lost tax revenue every year. Think what a difference that would have made to tax & spend decisions …

This is everything it should be - meticulously researched, deeply thought out, uncomfortably probing, scrupulously fair, AND ALSO outrageously entertaining.

This is how progressives should tell stories. An hour flew by.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
