Got a good look today at one of my favorite warblers -- the Common Yellowthroat! These little bandits winter in Central America and fly across the Gulf of Mexico--nonstop! Every arrival in NYC is part of a long, perilous journey to their breeding grounds. 💛🖤💛#birdcpp
I am OUTRAGED that we are housing asylum-seekers in public schools. As a volunteer for an after-school program, I had to go through background check. Plus, I have to sign in each time I enter the school. There must be other ways w/o disrupting our students
You just knew whitewingers would throw themselves into a frenzy after the Cormer disappearing informant fiasco and here we are with #TrumpWasRightAboutEverything

I want to be perfectly clear on this.
White Supremacy movements ARE THE LARGEST Domestic threat to national security.

Dumbass conservatives think Miller Lite is "going woke" by having women in their ads talking about how they do more for the beer industry than posing in bikini pictures.
These dudes are so pathetically fragile. 🤡🤣
Great article on school avoidance. It is so important that all educators and districts shift their understanding that it is a mental health issue, not a behavioral one. I know some amazing

It’s be one year since a white extremist armed with an AR-15 killed 10 Black people in Buffalo, New York at Tops Friendly Markets supermarket.
Honor them with action by calling your members of Congress at 202-224-3121 to pass an #AssaultWeaponsBan.
Trump hosted Kyle Rittenhouse after he killed Black Lives Matter protesters.
Greg Abbott wants to pardon Daniel Perry, who murdered a Black Lives Matter protester.
Ron DeSantis is fundraising for Daniel Penny, who killed a Black man on a subway.
This is the Republican Party.
We promise good sir...we are no longer Fake News!!! An enemy of the people!!! Let us prove it to you!!! We are fair and good and will do this however you would like...just come back...
Dear TV
The problem w the Trump Town Hall wasn't platforming...or a fragile siloed audience unable to be exposed to newsworthy opinions antithetical to their own...the problem was an event that was clearly negotiated to Trump's approval. An ode to access.
Our children are our world. Grateful I still have my son. My girl (from a Mother's Day long ago) will always be missed. A void for our family so deep it can't be measured.
Love one another hard!
Hold them tight!
I spent quite some time trying to get a clean shot of this Black-throated Green Warbler this morning in Central Park. Finally, he took pity on me and just popped down out of the tree and struck a pose! Thanks little buddy! 😂😂😂#birdcpp#BirdTwitter
People have been asking, "how's Flaco doing?" He seems fine and I saw him this week in Central Park while he keeping an eye on a murder of crows! He rests higher in the canopy now and with all the leaves, we don't see him as easily. But he's here!❤️🦉❤️#birdcpp#Flaco
Trump ran up more debt than any other President in American history.
He wants Republicans to force a dangerous default if they don’t get their way.
We cannot let right-wing extremists hold our economy hostage.
Fourth grade girl showed fully loaded handgun to other children, who then told the teacher at Neil Armstrong Elementary (IL) yesterday morning.
Teacher then confronted the student in a hallway full of kids and it took two staff members to wrestle the weapon away from the girl.
#OTD in 1925, Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra was born in St. Louis, MO. Here’s my painting of him with Phil Rizzuto celebrating during a rain-out game against Philadelphia on September 25, 1951. The occasion? The birth of Yogi and Carmen's 2nd son Timothy on the night of the 23rd.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦Every year I get just one good look at a Canada Warbler--and today was the day! This tiny bird has likely flown all the way from Colombia (with a rest stop in Central Park) and will continue to Canada to breed! Incredible. Safe travels, little guy!💛🖤💛#birdcpp#Canada
I was honored to meet with several members of congress today to talk about the work ahead.
Our conversations all centered on how to stand up for democracy, and how to work with the communities we represent to ensure that they are empowered to stand up as well.
DO NOT GO BACK TO NORMALCY!
On Saturday, eight people were killed, including three children, in a mass shooting by a gunman armed with an AR-15.
James, Daniela, and Sofia.
Call your Members of Congress and urge them to cosponsor the #AssaultWeaponsBan (202) 224-3121
If the 2nd Trump administration was putting trans people through tree shredders, his supporters would demand that they be dipped in lemon juice first.
Last night was a chilling reminder not only can it happen here, it WILL happen here if we get a second Trump term. 12/n
There is no bottom: there is no point at which his supporters will say, "No, we're going too far, this is wrong." These are people with an axe to grind, and without empathy for anyone who seen as an enemy. 11/n
These are not good people, even if they believe their religious beliefs make them inherently good. This is a movement centered on grievances and vengeance against enemies of the herrenvolk. What we saw are the true believers Milton Mayer wrote about. 9/n
But, above all else, last night was a reminder of what America under Trump was, and will be again if we put him back in office. Cruel, theocratic, vulgar, misogynistic, unmoored from reality, ignorant, immune to evidence, and racist. 8/n
This, the choice to platform election disinformation, lies about January 6th, totally unchecked and reckless claims about abortion… they need to take ownership of what just happened.
This cannot be normalized. It’s dangerous.
There is simply no way CNN can feign ignorance about the fact that they set up a sexual assault victim to be targeted and attacked on national television a day after the verdict.
People were sounding the alarm about this exact scenario. They let it happen anyway without a plan.
Trump is talking about "people who would kill a baby in the 7th month, the 8th month"
3rd trimester abortion only ever happens when a baby dies in utero. Anything else is misinformation #CNNTownhall
