The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, a protege of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and two-time presidential candidate who led the Civil Rights Movement for decades after the revered leader's assassination, died Tuesday. He was 84.

His daughter, Santita Jackson, confirmed that her father died at home, surrounded by family.

As a young organizer in Chicago, Jackson was called to meet with King at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis shortly before King was killed and he publicly positioned himself thereafter as King's successor.

And yes, I know people will say block keywords and communities, but people don't understand some communities have rules and people must follow them.

From Toronto Wildlife Centre

Before her release, this Eastern screech owl was gently banded with a small silver ring that carries a big purpose. Banding helps wildlife experts better understand where birds travel, how long they live, and how they fare once they return to the wild, allowing individuals to be identified if they're ever encountered again.

When this little owl was first brought to Toronto Wildlife Centre, she was so weak she kept her eyes closed. Dr. Cameron Berg found bruising on the patient's wing, and she was dehydrated. The veterinarian knew her subdued behaviour was also a telltale sign of head trauma. She spent her first day in care resting quietly in an oxygen chamber, receiving fluids, pain medication, and supportive veterinary care. X-rays confirmed there were no broken bones, but it was clear she had been through a frightening experience.

Thanks to Deborah, who had found her on the side of the road, and the steady care that followed at TWC, the owl's strength slowly returned. She often clacked at her caregivers when they drew near! After time in an aviary to practice flying and a successful flight test, she was released - with the band that may one day help tell us where life takes her next.

I believe anyone accused of a crime should have the right to a fair trial and a lawyer.

Until recently, I believed my opinion was mainstream.

It's not.

In Italy, a respected newspaper was attacked and vandalized by activists who claimed their coverage of the Middle East was biased. I find this extremely surprising. La Stampa has published many articles such as "Israel commits war crimes". Apparently that was not enough. There was just a wild claim on social media. That's it. Then people stormed the newspaper and vandalized it. Journalists received death threats. I think this is fucked.

Recently in France, a far-right activist was beaten to death on camera. He was on the ground and a crowd of 10/15 masked people kept beating him. The guy is far-right, but he has no criminal record. A crowd just decided that the death penalty was appropriate for him.

Never liked mob justice. Never will.

I believe anyone accused of a crime should have the right to a fair trial and a lawyer.

Apparently, that's no longer accepted.

I'm not certain what this mom and dad burrowing owl were having a disagreement over on a past trip to Florida, but one was definitely not happy with the other.

With a wingspan of just 22 inches (56 cm), burrowing owls are one of the smallest owls in North America. They're also the only ones who nest underground.
