🎯🎯. One of my colleagues turned up in the Epstein files, asking for funding for his “campus rape is just women claiming victimhood, actually.” For more than a decade before Chr sent that email, I begged UT to deal with his vicious harassment of me. They declined.

I dearly love the hoverfly, more than any other fly. Don't be fooled, it's not a bee, though quite adept at mimicry!

“I vocally supported immigration for years but then turned on immigrants to win votes” does not endear you to pro-immigrant voters or anti-immigrant voters. It’s the same with every other issue. This is *the* reason people hate politicians, they’re wormy and fake.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @lizrenner.bsky.social on understanding the biogeography and survival of Walleye in Lake Oahe: modelling survival rates and movement across political boundaries; the need for collaboration in management; and spatial probabilities in context of different environments.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

This administration sees bike facilities as a target in its culture war, and it can act quickly (if illegally) in DC. According to the latest WABA newsletter, the fed gov is planning to remove parts of the 15th St. NW PBL, and they might move as soon as next week. www.reddit.com/r/bikedc/com...

More rebel loons have been added to this thread of excellent not at all A.I. loons since I last looked at it. 😍

His name is Donald Huffines and he owns Zorro Ranch. Time for warrants and bring the dogs.

Roses are red but that's implicit fight back against fascism or else you're complicit

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

🚨Must read if you work with drones in the US or are interested in the space. Faine pulls together several interrelated stories, use of NOTAMs esp. to prohibit flight around DHS, restrictions on imports of foreign drones.

Tried? It looks like she succeeded!

trying to wrap my head around how we are going to raise $15-28 million dollars for the expected rent need in Minnesota in March when the news cycle has now passed us.

Schools all over the U.S. are cancelling picture day due to Leon Black, the co-founder of the parent company that owns Lifetouch, being listed in the Epstein Files. Lifetouch is the biggest school picture company in America and photographs millions of kids every year.

Artists! show us how you draw black women

Trump does not have a Plan for white people ... he doesn't want anything for you he doesn't hope anything for you He doesn't believe anything for you He wants you to hate everyone else so you don't have to build anything

Now ICE arrested a doctor who was on his way to perform heart surgery. ICE is now affecting the healthcare system by going after doctors & nurses. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Note that the whole reason why this exchange came out was because former Officer Auderer *forgot* that his body cam was on while he bragged to the Seattle police union president (!) about the monetary value of a foreign grad student

NEW writing: a letter to these brave Angelenos "I see your efforts to oppose the terrible actions of la migra, which has terrorized our Black and Brown communities in Los Angeles for generations, as part of a proud tradition of STEM students and practitioners who refuse to shut up and calculate."

The original story: bsky.app/profile/chan...

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments. Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier. Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

Our government could reverse this any day to save lives. Elected Republicans cheered it on. Elected Democrats thought it wasn’t worth a fight.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

“Our affiant lied, of course, and we have now learned there’s video to contradict him.”

While others are stepping back on climate, Project Drawdown is stepping up! We’re proud to announce the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship to support U.S.-based Ph.D.-level scientists & engineers focused on climate solutions for the public good. drawdown.org/news/project...

Two Black Skimmers skimming from August 12th when the weather was hot and the birds were awesome #FallBack #birds 🌿 #OkTheBirdsAreAlwaysAwesome #ButTheseOnesEspecially

Today I am reaching past my despair and frustration to spend some time with my deep joy in the world. The sun is shining, the birds are loud, and the saguaros are nice and fat.

this is the attorney who repped Kari Lake and Oath Keeper state senator Mark Finchem in during the 2022 election and ended up facing a bunch of complaints and fines for being a lying sack of shit

Surprise, Arizona protest against ICE detention facility continues this Saturday, 9am. Peaceful discipline is our strength—don't take the bait. City officials are watching. NoICEInSurprise #Arizona www.mobilize.us/northwestval...

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished. I have neighbors everywhere.

In my "not ya mama's" public policy theory class, we continue our explorations of first principles by pondering whether utopia can exist. Jazzed for discussion. And thanks to my bluesky friends for their recommendations!

I don't know much about anarchist theory, but I have always appreciated the anarchists of my acquaintance because of their actions.

People talk about working out to get gains. But to get those gains? The BRAIN must gain first! When scientists "turned off" a specific set of cells in the ventromedial hypothalamus, mice failed to gain endurance after exercise. www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...

guess who was paying people’s rent the fastest? 🏴

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

This is blatant corporate greed. TEP is a billion-dollar company that wants to increase the average Tucson consumer’s monthly bill by 14% following back-to-back rate hikes over the past five years. It’s time to say ‘enough.’ www.kjzz.org/fronteras-de...

"Epstein had pitched [art school dept chair] on a potential art exhibit titled 'Statutory' that would showcase underage models dressed to look older than they were." He was really just upfront with it. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states
