Ongoing Coup | Attorney General Kris Mayes YouTube video by Arizona Attorney General's Office

For those with family/friends who don’t get what is happening the Arizona Attorney General does a good job of explaining it. (With a calmness that I’m incapable of right now)

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

How to Participate Participating is easy, fun to do alone or with others, and can be done anywhere you find birds. Simply watch birds for 15 minutes or more, at least once over the four days and tell us what you see!

There’s a lot going on and maybe, like me, you need a break to focus on birds?

The great backyard bird count is today through Monday (Feb. 14-17):

So for the last few years I’ve been receiving emails from the USPS with images of the mail being delivered that day. Recently the bottom of the email gives me the option to share that email on facebook or x. WTH? I guess it’s 1 reason why Musk is buying the US government 😡

Nice choice! Thx

No worries! It will be just as great tomorrow.

@wextdave.bsky.social How about some drive by truckers this morning?

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and-

Seems like a good time to ask some Trump Administration what exactly they consider "Radical and Wasteful" about MLK day, Black History Month, Holocaust Remembrance Day, Juneteenth, National Hispanic Heritage Month, etc. Make them say it.

Hugs Jenny. Thank you for being you.

I like the post you made on inst. I did something similar on fb but admit I’m a bit lonely over here.

Love this!
