A Wood Duck, probably the one that annually tries to mate with a female Mallard, wearing his summer-casual plumage on the Central Park Reservoir.

People are traveling, gathering together, barbecuing, celebrating the 250th anniversary of this nation in various ways. And then we have this… An American service member using his right to free speech, guaranteed in our nation’s constitution. A right given to all of us every day. Regardless of your political affiliation, read or watch Major Jason Watson’s full statement. It’s powerful. He has served and is serving. He is speaking up and out, and for that he was arrested. Free speech, freedom of religion, a free press, the freedom to vote for who you choose, the freedom to love who you choose. These are all things we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. They are what makes us a democracy, among many other things. So as you gather, as you grill, as you plan your day, think of Major Watson, think of the freedoms you hold dear, and don’t just celebrate them, but make sure generations to come will have these rights as well! 🇺🇸

My generation grew up watching stuff like this yet we’re somehow less fucked up than the subsequent generations. I’m just noting it, don’t ask me to explain it.

Es ist höchste Zeit, Russland einen kräftigen Tritt in den Hintern zu verpassen und es aus dem UN-Sicherheitsrat als Schurkenstaat rauszuwerfen🥊

Amidst mountains of concrete,debris,dust & silence Rescuers in Venezuela found a scene which moved even the strongest. Under the remains of the collapsed structure a dog remained.It didn't bark, stayed motionless,looking in to the eyes. And it's body became a shield, beneath it lay a child. While everything around him collapsed, this little boy was still alive, protected by a friend, who refused to move to rather than abandon his friend who needed him most. Rescue team reports they were speechless, they found them after few days of the disaster. The dog at first refused to come out as if he wanted to ensure the rescue of his friend.The dog was rescued. Moments later the child, amidst cheers,tears & emotions. This image depicts something no disasters can destroy.When nature tests the strength of a people, gestures emerge that love, compassion & loyalty can appear from where we least expect them That life always finds a reason to resist. A miracle from God! Don't look for answers The answer is blowing in the wind🙏

I don't believe people outside of the military understand how significant this is. He is willing to lose his entire future over this. That's bravery like we haven't seen in a long time. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
