We shouldn't be surprised that Donald Trump had no respect for the history or beauty of the East Wing or the Reflecting Pool. He's always been like that. Back in 1980, he promised to give two beloved Art Deco friezes to the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art. Instead, he jackhammered them into dust.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was perfectly fine before the orange felon wasted upwards of $17M to fuck it up it and pretend to fix. Now aside from green algae and peeling blue paint, dead animals are being seen in the mix. This wasn’t a renovation, it was sabotage.

Goodnight BlueSky Folks! To Finish Off my Day Before I Go To Sleep here is a Photograph of a European Robin Standing on a Tree Branch Captured on a Canon EOS R50! #Birds 🪶 #NaturePhotography #PhotographersOfBlueSky #NatureLover #UKBirding #WildlifePhotography #CanonR50
This image features a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) perched on a light-colored, textured branch. The bird is facing slightly toward the camera with a plump, rounded appearance.
Appearance of the Robin
• Distinctive Chest: It displays the classic bright orange-red breast and face that the species is known for.
• Plumage: Its upper parts and wings are a soft olive-brown, while its belly is a pale, off-white color. A thin grey border separates the orange face from the brown feathers on the side of its neck.
• Small Details: The bird has a small, dark, pointed beak and large, dark eyes. Its thin, brownish legs are visible as it grips the branch.
Background and Composition
• Lush Setting: The background consists of soft, out-of-focus green foliage, suggesting a garden or woodland setting.
• Focus: The robin is the central focus of the shot, with a shallow depth of field that makes the bird stand out clearly against the blurred leaves.

A red deer and her exclusive beauticians. This is a symbiotic relationship between a red deer (Cervus elaphus) and several jackdaws (Corvus monedula). The birds benefit by feeding on parasites like ticks & fleas, and the deer benefits by having the irritating pests removed from its coat. #nature

I Googled crowd sizes for PGA tour events and it averages about 40,000. I know 100 people compared to 40,000 to watch golf isn't a legitimate polling metric but the 33% approval rating the MSM claims he owns seems like a juiced # when fans boycott HIS event at this scale.

On Saturday, Leo Garcia Venegas was wrongfully detained by ICE for a 3rd time in a year. Officers followed him home; he said he’s a citizen and had his REAL ID in hand. But they didn’t care. They tackled and shackled him, no questions asked. We’ve got a hearing tomorrow on our prelim injunction.
Photo of Leo being led by five ICE agents into the back of an unmarked ICE vehicle. His hands are cuffed behind his back and he’s in leg shackles. 
5. I left the store around 7:20 a.m. and began driving home. I was approaching my house when I noticed an unmarked vehicle following me closely that appeared to be law enforcement.
6. I parked my car in front of my house and turned off the engine.
7. The officers pulled in front of my vehicle to block it in. They exited their vehicle and quickly approached my truck.
8. Without a word, the officers tried to open my driver's side door, but it was locked. Because I already experienced two immigration raids, I knew it was important to tell them I was a citizen and use my REAL. ID to prove my lawful status. So, I took out my Alabama Star ID, unlocked the door, and immediately told the officers that I am a United States citizen.
9. Still without asking me a single question or issuing any lawful commands, the officers pulled me out of my car, tackled me to the ground, and shackled me around both my arms and legs.
10. The officers did not listen when I said I was a citizen. And they showed no interest in looking at my Alabama STAR ID, even though it is a REAL. ID issued only to people who can prove their lawful status.
11. Within two minutes of when I stopped in front of my house, a few other cars arrived, including a K-9 unit with the local police.
12. There were about seven or eight officers in total surrounding me. All but two of those officers were dressed in plain clothes with tactical vests and appeared to be ICE
agents. The other two wore uniforms of the local police. At least one of the local police officers arrived with a K-9.
13. The initial stop was initiated by the ICE agents, and it was those ICE agents who took responsibility for my arrest.
14. The ICE agents led me, shackled, to one of their cars and placed me in the back seat. At this point, the officers still had not asked me a single question or bothered to look at my Alabama Star ID that would have shown they had no basis for my detention.
