I’ve been learning Arabic, and I’m on the section for food. While I sound out Falafel Tabbouleh Kebab I think of my friends in Gaza. I think about how long it has been - and how long it will be - before they, and their children, will eat any of these things. Please, help if you can.

Please enjoy this picture of a Spicebush swallowtail / green-clouded butterfly, Papilio troilus, on Eastern Purple coneflower, Echinacea purpurea, and share this post because my friend needs a kidney. kidney4naomi.info

The BS asymmetry principle: The amount of energy needed to refute BS is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. Thank you to every science communicator who is doing the almost impossible work of countering misinformation every day. Every single one of you is saving lives!

As the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) continues to gather oral testimony from Indian boarding school survivors, Native Hawaiians who live off-island have also been asked to contribute to the oral history project. www.underscore.news/justice/main...

Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...

Satisfying. Got rid of some invasive Cirsium vulgare, Bull/Spear Thistle. This thing was as tall as me. #PlantNative #NativeHabitatRestoration #ProtectEcoSystems #ThisIsStolenLand

Periodic reminder that the only reason we have to “protect trans people” is because we (cis people) built and maintain a system of centrifugal force that violently flings people to the margins. Scroll for some ways to support trans people.

Ten seconds of respite. Sending cooling rain to all who need it.

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office. ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social @mckenziefunk.com

Chances are, I will never shut up. #FreePalestine

How are you taking care of yourself? I’ve been listening to music and drawing for an hour or so before bed. It’s helping me stay away from socials & news so I have a better chance of sleep.

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

I live in Massachusetts. As I cool down the horses, I’m thinking of my fellow humans with no shelter, no (clean) water, no air conditioning. Climate change is a killer. Privilege insulates me.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

I am disabled & immune compromised. Sometimes (my) life sucks but I strongly prefer to keep existing. Please wear a mask & fight mask bans.

In my front yard native plant meadow in Massachusetts. Great Golden Digger Wasp, Sphex ichneumoneus & Two-spotted Bumble Bee, Bombus bimaculatus on Butterfly weed, Asclepias tuberosa. Please ignore the lurking Big Leaf Lupine, Lupinus polyphyllus. I fucked up. #NativePlants #ThisIsStolenLand

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"
