BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

One of the most challenging aspects of the climate crisis is that it becomes harder to solve as it proceeds, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation. It isn't something that can be put off until tomorrow without serious penalty.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

It’s super strange to me that we don’t see Dem leadership promoting these protests when they themselves were depending on the American ppl rising up so they could shirk their own duties @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

The next time you visit a piece of Michigan's maritime history and culture, put a stamp on it! Of Michigan's 129 lighthouses, 112 have unique passport stamps to mark your visit. Grab a passport online or at a participating museum/visitor's center, and start exploring:

Here's a 🎁🔗to this article. I am sharing it on NextDoor because the author stresses that people who are about to see their coverage go up *have no idea.* We're about to see a lot more pain, anxiety, and anger if we let this move forward. wapo.st/4q6TLuw . I think it's possible to copy-paste the link

Another good one! But, maybe @willsommer.bsky.social will explain how he's everywhere these days? So many appearances, so much to keep up with....there aren't enough hours in the day! Anyways...this is long, but super-interesting, with so much strangeness.

The upcoming protests are truly upsetting & confounding to people on the right. We're having an enlightening (haha) convo on ND. Ppl say they see it as illegitimate *because* it is complaining, partisan, and/or refusal to accept results. The whole idea of 1st A *protest* is an anathema to them.

"...people are re-examining what they owe each other and the world they pass on as an inheritance. You can call that faith, or politics, or just reality."

Pet peeve: People who comment “it’s not going to make any difference” Even if the odds are against you, does the mean you should give up? Should our people have not fought back? People shouldn’t have fought apartheid? Rosa Parks shouldn’t have given up her seat? Like what are you saying?

It’s really terrifying and my sense is that a lot of people are just interested in it as a novelty and don’t see the harm, all the while it’s causing them to believe things that aren’t true.

The last two bouquets of the season(probably). Now I start chopping things down, mulching, planting bulbs, and battening down the hatches for winter.

I was happy to see Fishbone pop up in my YT feed! I'm spending my day outside and I hope you're able to, too. Before I go, I'll just leave this here. (Ever see a band use a theramin? Here's your chance!) youtu.be/P9F4YnZS_qQ?...

This is why I’ve started focusing more on materials and methods that aim for increased engagement. I work on climate and health impacts/adaptation. Part of my job is reporting the facts but the bigger more important job is helping people understand why they should care.

I really enjoyed this convo between @samseder.bsky.social and @ddayen.bsky.social. They cover a wide range of topics, from the shutdown, to Maine politics, to the possible shifts away from the status quo in D politics. www.youtube.com/live/d-EtvIj...

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Oh no

Is it a secret, though? I’m probably more normie than not normie and I see it.

They are testing out their October 18 talking points and the MSM will oblige.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Frog on paw-paw tree

So this is funny. The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

A shameful continued destruction of the innovation engine of the United States. For nothing! For no reason!

Look at her go! #invertebrates 🌿

Charlottesville: come out to UVA tomorrow where I’ll be giving a talk and participating on a panel about AI and the environment as part of UVA’s Environmental Futures Forum. www.environmentalfuturesforum.org

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal before cell phones and the internet and missed a bunch of things. One of the big ones that comes to mind is the OJ trial. For many years after returning home, I often was clueless when certain cultural references were made.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Verily I tell you, Miller plans to do to Democratic groups, and possibly even the Democrats themselves, what Putin did to Navalny's anti-corruption organization.

@k1v1n.bsky.social 👋

If you go to a climate conference and meat or dairy is on the menu, please say something to organizers. "Please aim to have a vegan menu next year! Meat & dairy are huge contributors to climate change and it undermines our commitment and message to serve them at an event about climate change."

I’m excited to use these purple hyacinth beans in this week’s bouquets. 💜

I sold 20 pounds of paw-paws to eatredhaven.com in East Lansing yesterday. If you're in the area, look for paw-paws on their menu in November! I, for one, will be making reservations to see what wonderful dishes they make with them. #farm-to-table #paw-paws

I subscribe to/pay for reporting from @prospect.org, @talkingpointsmemo.com, @propublica.org, @bridgemi.com and have been trying to decide btw @zeteo.com & @rollingstone.com. Now that @swin24.bsky.social is at @zeteo.com, my choice was made easier. I'm a new Zeteo subscriber! Now I need to 🛑.

Loved this convo with @jamellebouie.net . Yes, things are scary, but historical context gives (me) some comfort (things have been worse!), as well as courage to get out there and fight (October 18th is right around the corner and I need to make a new sign!)

I want to issue a challenge to all of us to go one day without spending all our energy pointing out conservative hypocrisy (it's been well established) and instead try to talk about anything else that feels productive. Just one day, as a treat. Just to see what happens

EAT-Lancet 2.0 report is out today, updating the influential 2019 report. On my first read it seems to bring further data/evidence to support the big solutions for food/climate/nature: 1) improve productivity & env performance of agriculture, 2) reduce food loss/waste, 3) healthy/sustainable diets.

Really important insight by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social with @gregsargent.bsky.social on The Daily Blast podcast.

I don't know if there are many people questioning participating in the upcoming protests because they are afraid, but if you think they are, this from @aoc.bsky.social is worth sharing.

I suppose no one should be surprised that 2 weeks before #NoKingsDay 2.0 there are ALREADY more events scheduled than there were at the first event in June. Check them out here: www.nokings.org

Brian is doing some EXCELLENT reporting on data centers and community resistance to them in Michigan.

Please enjoy this whimsical story from The Mitten State.

"...this is just the culmination of a...campaign to blame these organizations for creating, funding, or supporting groups that the administration...consider “the radical left.” This includes groups working on topics like racial and climate justice as well as reproductive rights and voting rights."

Overheard a middle-aged white guy at a sandwich shop in Colorado explaining to a younger white guy that DEI meant that if he hired a white person and a black person for the same job, he'd have to pay the black person more. This, he explained, was what "equity" meant.

Sorry, I'm still on this and appreciate @samseder.bsky.social comments. If Ds want to make some tactical issue choices about making a D candidate "less alienating," abortion is not the issue you pick. youtu.be/6oL-GTNSyq4?...

I'm in desperate need of some reliable reporting of what's going on with rank & file members of the military. Can anyone point me to a resource?
