This is truly awful and while it's not the only or even major solution, please consider making your yard/neighborhood more bird friendly, food and water, bells on cats, plantings that help them nest, and helping with habitat restoration: nytimes.com/2019/09/19/sci…
In the last year I've been putting out feeders and water, and planting bird and pollinator natives and it is amazing the diversity of birds and critters that have shown up. 20+ species of birds alone in a 20x30 backyard!

Next phase is bee and bat houses.
Dear cat owners, they are captivating creatures, but they kill a BILLION birds a year. Think about how you can curb your cat's carnage while still letting her enjoy life. (Also this hilariously 2011 video we made)
Anyway, making your yard/neighborhood more critter friendly has amazing side benefits
This is my mom’s greatest backyard bird habitat triumph. Owlets!
I don't have anything that cool—though my Coopers hawks are pretty cool—but i do have finches/vireos/sparrows/juncos/phoebes/hummingbirds/doves/jays/towhees/titmice/crows/raccoons/mice/rats (😬)/ butterflies/bees

My memory could be wrong and I have no dog in the legacy fight but that’s what I recall as being so galling about the GOP tactic. Obama administration knew/wanted stimulus to be bigger, much bigger, but had no choice to go with what would pass b/c delay would be deadly. (?)
But I also recall that Obama got rolled by Max Baucus, in particular, in pursuit of bipartisan support of health care reform.
But even on healthcare I don’t know that Obama’s blind spot was neoliberalism so much as his conviction that he could forge a bipartisan path. That he could soberly bring people together in a technocratic solution. And they rope-a-doped him with that for at least a year.

1/ Yesterday, I did one of my drives for low-income students via @DonorsChoose. Today, I'm raising money for @MotherJones and talking about funding journalism more broadly. Donations up to $500,000 will be matched. This is a bfd moment for us: motherjones.com/themoment/
@DonorsChoose @MotherJones 2/ You know that journalism is suffering a revenue crisis. Most ad models are falling apart. The hedge funds are ravaging local news. There have been massive job losses, and with them democracy suffers. We need more spotlights on the powerful, not fewer.
@DonorsChoose @MotherJones 3/ Papers and magazines have been experimenting with all kinds of ways to make money. But the social media companies have siphoned off ad dollars. And some have even duped the media into "pivot to video" strategies that have made the bleeding worse. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

This is stunning if not surprising: Intelligence official so concerned about Trump making secret promises to foreign leader (Putin? Kim?) that they turn whistleblower. And Trump appointees to DNI and DOJ running interference washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
nytimes.com/2019/09/19/us/…
Amazing how many stories are about Trump using extraordinary means to cover up how own wrong doing. Now he’s suing the Manhattan DA to keep his tax returns—something released by every presidential candidate for decades—secret: nytimes.com/2019/09/19/nyr…

Thanks to amazing people from all over the world, we are only $6,445 away from reaching our September #SaveFlintChallenge goal.

Help us get more clean water & assistance to Flint residents. Please consider donating and sharing our campaign. #NoWaterNoWall gofundme.com/rvaflint-water…
In America, we don’t turn our backs on our neighbors when they need help. After watching everyone on social media forget about thousands of Americans struggling due to the water crisis, we decided to create our own campaign to help Flint. #SaveFlintChallenge #NoWaterNoWall
Everyone please read this and share if possible. We're on a mission to help Flint residents get clean water, because the government isn't doing enough, and the media is failing at keeping the Flint water crisis a topic of discussion. #SaveFlintChallenge

Help me improve what Just The Real News provides to you. I have so many ideas to improve it and need your help!

You can help by making a contribution through my GoFundMe located here:

gofundme.com/just-the-real-…
I created JUST THE REAL NEWS in January 2019 with hopes that one day I could help others through sharing information. I wanted to make this a career not just a hobby. When I started working on this journey I built everything on a computer built in 2012 and on my mobile phone.
I need to upgrade my workstation at home in order to improve, both the website and my personal position.

Please stop being ashamed. Shame. Anger. None of these feelings actually help EU citizens. These posters should not be needed. But we are where we are and they are vital now. In fact: we need much more outreach. To help make a real difference become an #EUcitizensChampion. 1/
While the above posters are part of a government campaign to inform EU citizens that campaign is nowhere near enough. Please consider making a donation @eucitizenschamp to help us inform more EU citizens so that nobody is left behind. Thank you. gofundme.com/eucitizenscham… 2/
This is so critical because of settled status fails thousands could become illegal. We have to all, collectively, help make sure that this doesn’t happen. *All* donations made to the fundraiser go directly to @the3million. 3/3

Ever wonder why there are so many pedophiles being arrested lately in high level positions? That is what got me so pissed off. Joel Davis in FL was the last straw for me. That’s when I started researching, and why I’m sharing this now.
Examples:
1. Joel Davis, FL- Hillary campaigner, youngest person ever nominated for the Nobel peace prize, Yale student. Founding executive director of the international organization Youth to End Sexual Violence and a...
member of the International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence in Conflict. [arrested for pedophilia involving a 9 and 2 year old!!!] google.com/amp/s/heavy.co…

1/ I’m sounding the alarm🚨. After Brexit is done, the European Convention on Human Rights is the next target for those who drove the Leave movement. And it may well be successful [THREAD]
2/ In amongst the row over whether the Leave Campaign spent beyond legal limits was a blog post published yesterday by Dominic Cummings containing this chilling statement dominiccummings.com/2018/03/24/on-…
3/ Cummings was the campaign director of Vote Leave. So he can’t be ignored. And it makes total sense, if you follow the logic of the Leave Campaign. I’ll explain why.
