The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world. Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior? These people are unfit to govern.

This fabulous little bird is a Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher. Despite the name, they mostly eat berries and forage for insects when they are feeding chicks. They are thought to be related to waxwings and used to be grouped in the same family. 🪶 San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica
A bird with a yellow head and crest, gray on the upper body and wing covert and darker gray on the flight feathers and tail, with more yellow on the bellow. It is perched in a tree that has fine, thin green leaves.

A killdeer stands on the shell-covered shore of a salt marsh. Two tiny branches from a plant behind it appear to be springing up from its head like a pair of antennae. Happy April Fools’ Day!

‘&’ is called an ‘ampersand’ and means “and.” In the Middle Ages, when single letters were used as words, the phrase ‘per se’ would be included to indicate they were being used as a word and not just a letter. “I per se, I” = ‘I’ is being used as the word ⬇️

Every $1 Tesla's stock price falls Elon loses approx 1 billion dollars. Today Tesla fell $40.52. I'm thinking poor Elon is not very happy today. The only thing that could make me happier is if he borrowed against the stock on a margin call and the brokerage starts calling it in.

Man Puts Glass Of Water On Bedside Table In Case He Needs To Make Huge Mess In Middle Of Night
ANN ARBOR, MI—Explaining that it’s just more convenient, local man Andrew Gomez told reporters Thursday that he’s gotten in the habit of placing a glass of water on his bedside table before he goes to sleep in case he needs to make a huge, sopping mess in the middle of the night. “Sometimes I’ll wake up at night, and it’s nice to be able to reach over and spill water all over my nightstand, comforter, and floor without having to get up,” said Gomez, noting that he usually places a brimming cupful of water next to his cell phone and unopened mail so that he can just awaken in a disoriented state and send the glass and its contents careening everywhere while fumbling for it in the dark. “Who wants to get out of bed and walk all the way to the kitchen to get a drink of water when they can spend half an hour in the middle of the night frantically drying off their possessions and picking up shards of broken glass? It’s definitely much easier this way.” Gomez added that, in the event he does not knock over the glass while reaching for it, there’s nothing quite like the taste of stale, room-temperature water.
