Got my first good look at a Long-tailed Duck yesterday #birds

I ride thousands of miles a year on my "regular" bike and having an e-bike has still been a game changer. So much nicer to run errands or get around on it when it's 36 degrees and dumping rain. And it's so much fun to ride!

Despite heavy opposition from tribes and enviro ngos, the fed govt licensed a $2-3 billion pumped hydro-storage project on Pushpum, a sacred mountain where N8Vs gather wild foods. FERC expressed excitement at the permitting meeting, which opponents called “appalling.” www.hcn.org/articles/hea...

In light of the Mercury article I guess I’ll just name this was Laurie Wimmer. Standing up for Palestine early on had consequences, and I don’t regret it. I have to face myself in the mirror each day, despite politics and consequences. I believe if we do that, the people will rally behind us.

Sunny is free. We are so glad that she is with family and on the way home. Sunny and her 5 coworkers were taken to Broadview and then moved to Juneau, Wisconsin where they were finally released from ICE custody. We were lied to the entire time about her location. DHS needs to answer for this.

Went to a an event tonight to listen to Frank Ocean's Channel Orange on an amazing sound system. Was reminded that he first put it out via Tumblr, I probably pirated it because I have it on my iPad. I miss that era of the internet/tenology

This was just mentioned, first I had heard about it. 110 songs from Minnesota artists, and money raised goes to mutual aid efforts. It's bandcamp Friday and your dollars will go even further today!

Happening now in DeKalb County: Defense attorneys for 12 Stop Cop City protesters charged with domestic terrorism are arguing motions to dismiss the charges. We’re following the hearing and will share updates as it unfolds.

I've been too busy to draw for the last week but finally did a quick one tonight. #ink

"Syreeta Gates, an archivist from Jamaica, QNS, founded The Gates Preserve, a digital record of Black youth culture media so complete that the photographers + writers... from that era often hit her up to ask for clips of their own work. Gates has dedicated her life to the [clxn] of this history..."

Imagine crying because you were asked to identify your friends in court and then going on to snitch about all of them.

The end of this month will be 7 years sober for me, and my best advice for anyone starting down this path is sobriety won't fix what's broken or off with you, and it won't make you perfect. It will allow you to truly know yourself, all the good and hard parts and ask you to confront them to survive

I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. 🧵 1/4

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has abandoned efforts to build a detention center in Newport, at least for now, according to court filings first reported by the Statesman Journal.

Benton County commissioners late last year approved an expansion of Coffin Butte landfill. On Tuesday, they voted unanimously to reverse that decision.

I also learned from interviewing @edwincpark.bsky.social that there's no guarantee that people who get Medicaid through SSI will be exempt from work requirements either. Like, these are people who have gone through a lot of paperwork for the government to see them as disabled enough.

Companies building data centers in Oregon already have a pretty good deal—and new economic development legislation pushed by Gov. Tina Kotek was poised to make that deal even better before an intervention of a legislative subcommittee this week.

Ok I'm using a browser and a whole bunch of peoples' profile pictures aren't showing up. Is anyone else having this problem?

Unfortunate early lightning strike! Pittman has ruled in favor of the government’s motion to bar self-defense arguments and echoed the government’s Branch Dravidian comparisons

Yer Da is in the replies of women's safety groups on instagram demanding they shut up about the Kneecap allegations

This is so fucking bleak but I also can't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all.

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.
