A photo that shows on the right side a swan resting on the surface of a lake, under snow covered branches coming from the left side of the picture. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall palette is very muted, blue-grays. The swan's warm white plumage and bright orange bill stand out.

A photo of a flock of eleven cackling geese flying out of thick fog in perfect V formation. In the bottom left, the top of a snow covered tree.
The sky is very overcast and the overall color palette of the image is muted grays and blues.

A photo showing the surface of a lake. In the foreground, two tall branches stand above the water, and on the right side of the those branches, a swan sleeps, curled up on itself. In the background, snow covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted, mostly gray, except for warm glow of sunlight hitting the back of the trees and the surface of the water.

A photo showing, in the foreground, on the lefthand side, a swan and on the righthand side, gnarled branches of a dead tree above the water, seemingly reaching towards the swan. In the background, out of focus snow-covered trees. The overall color palette is very muted but a warm glow illuminates the whole image. A sliver of sunlight hits the surface of the water and illuminates the swan.

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets.

Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

BREAKING: Venezuela’s government has accused the US of launching attacks on civilian and military installations across several states, rejecting what it described as a "military aggression," according to an official statement.
