This green bird is the Spotted Catbird (Ailuroedus melanotis), a rainforest bird of West Papua (but also found in Australia and parts of Indonesia). Locally known as “Kuansu,” it gets its name from its cat-like, wailing call.

The former President is right…

…America’s battle with authoritarianism is in fact a part of a global struggle in which they cannot afford to be isolated

‘10 year review’

Struward🇨🇦 @struward.bsky.social · 4h

Keep it mind the legislation sunsets after the 2028 election when re-districting

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries.

Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact.

The administration is at war with Americans.
