Reading, birding, my cat, and walkable cities are a few of my passions. Twitter exile, now in Southern California.

🚨 Jared Moskowitz just turned the Bondi hearing into a masterclass in exposure. 🔥🔥

He used his 5 minutes to ask Bondi what opposition research she has on him — then pulled out a whiteboard and marker to grade her answers in real time.

Bondi didn’t answer.

Congress: Ms. Bondi, why is this document improperly redacted? Bondi: Gas is $2 a gallon now.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

The only thing we/you <know> is that the US military, at Trump &/or Hegseth's orders, just murdered more civilians on the high seas. We don't know it was "a suspected drug smuggling boat" & we have absolutely zero reason to believe anything they say anymore.
The latest U.S. strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat has killed two people in the Pacific, this one authorized by the Marine general who took command of military operations in Latin America and the Caribbean earlier in the day.

I’m doing bird commissions for $15 each. you’ll get a scanned in digital version of a painting. I’ll be doing watercolors and mix in some other medium. If you want my bird art, all you have to do is drop a reference photo of a bird that you’re a fan of in the comments.

My dog had to had emergency surgery yesterday but is now recovering thanks to expert care, while my cat is also all smiles. Find joy in the preciousness of life.

Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Kudos to the Golden Globe producer who - immediately after a joke about famous people on the Epstein list - cuts to Bill Maher.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.
