Fierce Pigeon Interview

I caught up with the pigeon who's taking Spunkton by storm for being "fierce" (stylish and confident).

What does a typical day look like for you?
oooo

Is there anything you're really interested in lately?

New York Times: If you're gonna crib our headline, you could at least credit Nick Judin and the Mississippi Free Press for first reporting it 2 days earlier. I'm glad this story is getting national attention. But Nick puts a lot of himself in these stories, and deserves credit (just as we'd do).
Mississippi Free Press screenshot shows a picture of two teen boys with their arms around one another in front of a cake and a sign that says "2026." The headline below the photo says: Max and Israel Makoka Were Waiting for a Hancock High School Bus. ICE Took the Brothers Instead.

Subtext says: A school transfer disrupted two brothers' visas, their lawyer said, leaving them vulnerable to arrest and unsettling their Mississippi school community.

Paris's school streets are effectively sculpting out instant parks in the locations where they'll provide immense public health benefits to the city's most vulnerable populations
