Did you know that in the United States alone, over 50 million households actively participate in birdwatching? This passion not only brings people closer to nature but also fosters a sense of responsibility toward our avian neighbors. As you contemplate enhancing your backyard into a bird-friendly haven, constructing a birdhouse can be a rewarding project that encourages wildlife conservation and enriches your outdoor experience. Understanding the Importance of Birdhouses Birdhouses provide essential shelter for various bird species, especially in urban areas where natural habitats are diminishing. They offer a safe place for birds to rest, nest, and raise their young, making your backyard a vital contributor to local biodiversity. By building a birdhouse, you’re not just creating a cozy home for birds; you’re also playing a part in preserving their populations amidst increasing threats from habitat loss and climate change.

Welcome to This Day in History for March 21! Today, we take a moment to reflect on the significant events that have shaped our world. One of the most notable events on March 21 occurred in 1960, when the Sharpeville Massacre took place in South Africa. This tragic event was pivotal in the fight against apartheid, which institutionalized racial segregation in the country.

The outrage that followed brought international attention to the injustices of apartheid, galvanizing activists both within South Africa and around the world. In the aftermath, the African National Congress (ANC) and other anti-apartheid organizations intensified their efforts, leading to a global movement that ultimately contributed to the dismantling

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois elected officials and leaders of state educator groups have issued statements in response to a recent executive order issued by President Donald Trump dismantling the Department of Education. Gov. JB Pritzker’s Statement on Trump’s Executive Order to Dismantle the Department of Education “President Trump has no plan to improve literacy, math scores, or get more teachers on the job. When Donald Trump attacks education, he is failing America because the success of our students is what will make our economy, future, and nation stronger. “Eliminating the Department of Education will likely have harsh and immediate impacts on Illinois’ students. It will harm students and their families in rural communities who rely on federal funding to keep their schools open. It will remove supports students with disabilities and special needs rely upon. And low-income students who depend on Pell Grants to earn their college degrees will b

Antitrust watchdogs are blasting President Donald Trump’s attempt on Tuesday to remove two Democratic-appointed members of the Federal Trade Commission. Trump’s attempted firing of commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter are illegal usurpations of congressional authority, they say, and raise serious questions about whether Trump is doing the bidding of big corporations the commission was […]
I think the Biden FCC under the leadership of Jessica Rosenworcel engaged in a lot of regulatory theater that made for good press clippings, but was ultimately hollow. While indisputably better than the corrupt and bizarre authoritarian zealotry we’re seeing now under Brendan Carr, the Biden FCC routinely failed to take direct aim at the […]
