NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner.
How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

The Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BirdStare
Any bird looking at you
staring you down
trying to intimidate you
to back off
and retreat
like this Osprey

Helen says BOTD is divers or any bird staring at you.
Here is a favorite diver that also gives a stare!
...It appears it wants to tell us something.
"HEY! This a PRIVATE beach! Get Lost!"
...ok, maybe not a favorite 😬

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.

It is so lovely to see my Equinox image in today's national press. I don't earn a lot of money from it but it does all count and is also quite exciting if I am honest to see my work published. Glast day of Summer did make me laugh a bit though 😂

Republicans' fear of fake socialism in the United States is bringing about real fascism in the United States.
Mainly because they are too ignorant to know the difference.

A while back when SCOTUS ordered Trump to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, Roberts said “courts must show due regard and deference” to him on national security matters. Since then, he’s used it to justify everything from the ballroom to the arch, mass deportation, boat strikes, and now this.
No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling.
Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.
As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
