WASHINGTON — President Trump on Thursday abandoned his quest to place a question about citizenship on the 2020 census, and instructed the government to compile citizenship data from existing federal records instead, ending a bitterly fought legal battle that turned the nonpartisan census into an object of political warfare.
NYT
I've stopped feeding the sparrows
on my patio.
They take and take and take
in complete silence.
And they are a dull spotted brown.
But they still get my stale bread.
But I have spent sixteen dollars
this month
on black thistle seed for house finches
because they sing.
And some are red and some are yellow breasted.
Ring necked doves eat what falls to the ground.
As far as I'm concerned they are all
welcome.
Whether I feed them or not.
Whether I like them or not.
No questions asked.
