Last call for Orion Nebula.. the setting of Orion early in the evening sky marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring.
This is the nearest star-forming region to Earth at 1,500 light years, and many new stars are forming inside its gas and dust clouds.

Atlanta Police Foundation (APF) is under mounting scrutiny as new evidence shows eco-activist Manuel 'Tortuguita' Terán had their hands up when shot & killed by police in the woods APF wants to clear for 'Cop City.'
The area was previously slated to be a public park.
Customers are refusing to cross the picket line today in support of the @SBWorkersUnited strike.
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If we stand in solidarity, we will win.

In almost 50 years of organizing I have not seen this degree of customer support . Car after car turning around .

Someone could do a big favor to the world by buying Fox News and simply shutting them down.
Their press credentials ought to be pulled. No White House access. No Capitol access. They can stand out in the parking lot and see who they can get to talk.

Good night. I love this place. Y’all are giving me the desire and confidence to find my artistic talents. I once thought I had none. Working on it in my older age. ☺️ Based on a self-portrait photo. #photo #photomanipulation #goodnight
In rare cases, the COVID-19 vaccine has been linked to inflammation of the heart known as myocarditis, but studies have largely confirmed that the overall myocarditis risk is significantly higher after an actual COVID-19 infection.
Two cardiologist explain:

It feels like one can never discuss the disastrous, murderous, unjustifiable invasion of Iraq without some conservative chiming in "but George W. Bush helped with AIDS treatments in Africa!"
Okay. Cool. And he still took reckless, discretionary actions that led to untold deaths, the further destabilization of a region, and the rise of the security state in the US. To say nothing of his undermining of democracy both in the US and abroad.
The former doesn't erase the latter.
Johanna Saunders writes:
"1930s Germany was all about rhetoric, ideology, othering, removal of rights, intimidation, propaganda and finger pointing which focussed on minorities/disabled /religion/sexual orientation etc.
War itself (1939) and the horror that followed (Wannsee / Holocaust 1942 etc) came later.
it’s about preventing future Holocausts from happening, and if the language you use is reminiscent to language used before the Holocaust, then it’s a moral duty to point it out."
Overnight, prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith's office made a prima facie showing that the former president had committed exceptional criminal violations
This could remove Trump’s attorney-client privileges. Evan Corcoran will be compelled to testify before a grand jury. That’s big.
I don’t care about the Stormy Daniels case. I care about the insurrection, undermining election integrity, selling state secrets, negligent homicide
So…
Is today the day?
I almost forgot it was Wednesday! I need to do a #WaterFallWednesday post. I am really looking forward to the spring so I can capture some new waterfall images with some new Spring growth!
This image was taken at Buttermilk Falls in Lehigh Gorge State Park near Jim Thorpe, PA.

A crazy man, almost crying, pointed at me and shouted, “Our fearless leader is being arrested!! What are you laughing at?” I said, “Fuck your feelings, snowflake…” and walked away…
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
