Please go to this link and read, then scroll to the bottom of the page to donate. A 200-bird confiscation from hoarder/jobber/trafficking is now entering its 7th month in isolation. It takes a ton of money to keep these brids happy and healthy!

AG Pam Bondi had pre-prepared attack lines to use to deflect from answering questions posed by Senator @whitehouse.senate.gov at today’s hearing, including a note to respond to questions about Epstein by saying Whitehouse took money from Reid Hoffman.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

As you read reports of 8 GOP senators reasonably suspected of being involved in a coup plot intended to violently overthrow our democracy being investigated by the FBI, do remember that the FBI they were investigated by was run by a man appointed by Donald Trump.

Biden had f*ck-all to do with it.

“This is where we are. Donald Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country. And he’s doing it for no good reason besides his hunger for power and his sadistic, sociopathic need to seek vengeance against his perceived enemies.”

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War

They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

This MAGA pyscho ran these girls down at 70 mph.

This is Trump's America, where sniper units are now aimed at ICE protestors, children are being dragged out naked and zipped tied, and people getting murdered in the name of Kirk.

What's next?

Just look at history.

A pair of baby toucans. They have just left the nest and still receive a lot of attention from their parents.

Ramphastos toco / Toco Toucan

The image features two charming toucans perched amongst the intricate network of branches and twigs of a tree, captured in a moment of serene observation. Both birds share similar characteristics. They have large, brightly colored yellow beaks and prominent, white-rimmed eyes. Their plumage is primarily black, with a contrasting white patch on the face and chest.

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.
