Luke warm water is also needed, if possible, for them to get a drink.
Is it ok to add that birds eat to stay warm? Even though they aren't pets?

Because they do and if people can put birdseed out for them, they could save lives.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.

When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

If George Washington heard Pete Hegseth’s concept of a warrior, he’d probably raise an eyebrow, according to an American history professor.

For Washington, real strength came from self-control and being morally grounded.

Where George Washington would disagree with Pete Hegseth about fitness for command and what makes a warrior
Washington’s ‘warrior ethos’ was grounded in decency, temperance and the capacity to act with courage without surrendering to rage. That ideal built an army – and in time, a republic.
