Sacramento History Museum @sachistorymuseum.bsky.social June is Pride Month! On June 13-14, Sacramento is holding its Pride festival in Downtown.

This clay figure was found on a tomb altar in the Maya city of Palenque. It may represent a high official of Palenque, wearing a bird mask or helmet.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

For four months, one man decided we were at war. Today, the House said no. We passed a war powers resolution ordering our troops out of Iran unless Congress votes to keep them there. Not the President alone. Congress. The people’s representatives.

SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

Truth...

@mark-carney.bsky.social Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods. Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Sanction Israel now!

Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

I’m so sick of this career criminal.

Here's my wee slab of botryoidal hematite from a consistent occurrence in a big crack in the face about 80m down the Kanmantoo copper pit. Most of this beauty went through the crusher. Where some of the globules are chipped, you can the copper underneath.

CBS just fired Scott Pelley after his very public clash with network leadership. If one of the most respected journalists in America can be shown the door, what does that tell the rest of the newsroom? Donald...CBS...you MF'ers will not win.

BREAKING Its not just the US and UAE, Australia also providing 'defensive' military support to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. The Albanese Labor Government cannot pretend we are not involved Trump and Netanyahu's war of choice when we up to our neck in it.

Good #Morning dear BlueSky friends! The news is BS as always. Trump’s slush fund has been shut down. They are recruiting military personnel for the UFC fight audience. No fatties and pay for your own travel. WTF?! Bloodsport on the white house lawn. 🤬 And an illegal war. #FuckTrump

I suppose it's not nearly the most important point, but the standard MOCA doesn't actually ask 30 questions. I feel like this fact alone should be evidence of cognitive decline...

Currently I've got a bunch (4 grams) of the Murchison meteorite, which fell in Australia in 1969 and was found to contain over 70 amino acids, nucleobases, and grains that are older than the solar system. It's basically the building blocks of life in a meteorite.

Thank you, Rep Joyce Beatty! Nobody else tried to do it. I appreciate it very much!👏👏👏

Good morning. One from a month or two ago. I’m playing at the lovely Carro Bowlo today, 3pm.

Thirteen years ago, the good folks at Langmeil winery hooked up with the Barossa's grand cooperage, A. P. John, and gave a lunch for the coopers of the Valley. That's Dragan photographing them.

Someone - sorry, I've lost it - wrote here earlier about the letters we're never game to send. Which reminded of this gorgeous song, which mentions such embarrassments. It's also the only song I now which mentions wisteria: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhLo...

E. Jean Carroll, one of my personal heroes, took on Trump and won. I was grateful to have the chance to speak with her just a few months ago. She’s one of the bravest people I’ve met. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSnk9CWms5k

A rare glimpse of a pangolin enjoying a mud bath. These shy creatures, covered in scales, rarely show such joy in the wild.

The President has made hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trades this year in companies his own Administration regulates — then he uses his platform to influence the market. It's blatant corruption.

If our children and grandchildren are still to inhabit the Earth at the end of this century, we must gradually cease transforming this planet into a place where nearly everything that has enabled our development thus far has been largely lost: fertile soils, clean water, healthy air.

Good morning.

Why are Americans so misinformed? Trump said today: "The Strait is going to be open to everybody. It's international waters," "Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we'll have to blow them up. They understand that." ABC World News cut the video after the words "international waters". 🙄
