Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani read a book to kids in NYC about the importance of community
Solidarity. Finding meaning from data is a wonderful thing though.

Return them?
Made good on my effort to try this one. Went an unexpected direction. Apparently my life is a rupture.
Happy with this as my poem to #PoetryMonth today, though.
Square your corners when you are driving. You are not more important than the driver you are impeding.
My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.
🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody.
@kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

3 ducklings and a duck box. One brown & yellow chick sits in the hole of the box. 1 chick is just visible by its beak in the lower left of the hole in the box. The 3rd chick had lept free of the box and is belly down, legs and little bitty wings are askance.
Here's my version. Hope it helps. Hooded merganser chicks. My backyard in northern Illinois.
