Just a little something to think about this International Women's Day.

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.

Listen to something you never heard.

These red chevrons are oil tankers. Less than 20% of them are held up in the straight of Hormuz. And there are alternate routes. The radical rise in oil prices and nothing more than a corporate greedy excuse for a quick cash grab. I also point out Trump has lifted the sanctions on Russian oil.

Dishonest Doug is trying to villainize the 450,000 students on #OSAP to justify his cruel changes to the program. The 900 cases he is referencing is 0.002%. They should be held accountable, but don’t pretend this is widespread fraud. #onpoli
