Customs and Border Patrol Reverses Its Big Bend Border Wall Plans Kristi Noem gets fired, unpopular ideas get shelved right away

Many of you have probably heard of the absurd plan to build "the wall" through Big Bend National Park. Well, the same day Gnome was fired, the wall plan seems to have been shelved too.

It's primary day in Texas and *Democrats can't lose.* Both Crockett and Talarico have huge strengths; the GOP candidatesβ€”Paxton and Cornynβ€”are weak. Dems are urning out in record numbers, even beyond the last presidential primaries. Be a part of it! goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...

A fluffed up burrowing owl, very round shaped

Maximum round!

Did you know 'borb' shape has a purpose? (Other than looking ridiculously cute)

When birds become round fluffs, they trap a layer of warm air in their downy underfeathers, shielded by outer feathers, insulating themselves to stay toasty even in extreme cold!

Cute and convenient! πŸͺΆ

Supporting Northside Minneapolis Families By Supporting Northside Beyond the Bell

Rent is due and we still need to raise tens--if not hundreds--of thousands of dollars. North Minneapolis doesn't get the same kind of attention the southside does, and kids there are hurting badly. If we raise $1000 I will match. (Reply, DM, or email.) givebutter.com/beyondthebell

It appears as though the administration, aided by governor abbott, is making plans to build a border wall through Big Bend NP/SP. There's a protest/march being organized at the TX State Capitol on April 4.

Genuinely, cattle dogs are good companions. They want to herd my cats so I don't bring them home anymore, but they are great dogs for the right people. This old boy shouldn't come back to the shelter if he doesn't have to.
