Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

We have a new one out! doi.org/10.3390/f160...

Mote work on ecolovical stoichiometry of bark beetles. This time Douglas-fir beetle. They like big trees!

NEW: Federal agents rolled into MacArthur Park in LA in an unmarked armored vehicle. My source tells me Mayor Bass showed up with LAPD—and the so-called “agents” got the hell out. Shady AF! (Just west of DTLA)

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims [From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]

Another piece of evidence that connects climate warming to increasing tree mortality happening around the world -- increasing mean disturbance rates – as has been observed in many parts of the globe – significantly amplifies the probability of forest dieback. 🌏

Just finished my second portrait in oils. I usually do nature or abstract but as a scientist metalhead i wanted to paint a human who cares. So, Al Jourgensen. This man is among the best

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

Some insiders have theorized that the White House installed Fugate to oversee a pivot away from traditional counterterrorism and to steer resources toward MAGA-friendly sheriffs and border security projects before eventually shuttering operations. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

Police shot stun grenades and rubber bullets, then turned to tear gas, in Los Angeles on Saturday. The gathering there was separate from the local “No Kings” event.

John Hoffman and Yvette Hoffman were hit by a combined 17 bullets from the Minnesota assassin, and both survived and are now recovering. Yvette shielded their daughter. www.startribune.com/john-hoffman...

Sen. Mike Lee is just trash. But you knew that.

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Bravo this sign.

"Tree mortality [in w OR] increased from 2000-2023, a prolonged period of drought & warming. Soil moisture, air temp & vapor pressure deficit were key climatic predictors of mortality. These trends were higher for small diameter trees compared w/dominant trees." www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

More than 1,000 protesters marched across the causeway from West Palm Beach toward President Donald Trump’s resort home of Mar-a-Lago on Saturday morning, chanting “USA!” and waving American flags and “No Kings” signs. Follow live updates:

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

My almost 17 year old cat Buddy built and has maintained this wallow for 15 years. No he is not yelling at me but yawning. Such a sweet old guy. Sleeps in tbere every day except with snow.

ICE agents concealing their faces: Can they really do that?

www.wlns.com/top-stories/... will you send out gov requirements on how we can prove we matter? I suspect you dont but would like to know if after decades of working 6 days a week and often more if I do or dont. Please reply soon.

For some reason, mainstream media isn’t covering the story from this angle. I think First Felon wanted a confrontation (in California) to demonstrate his disdain for the state and show power over Governor Newsom.

❗️This is eye opening. ICE wanted a tussle, caused a traffic jam and started harassing individuals passing through. ICE fired so many tear gas canisters they had to be resupplied by helicopters.

Dead opposite of the US which is killing science and R&D as fast as it can. #gop #mtpol

You can bet Taco said nothing strongly back

Working on a large format pastel where i have turned rotifers into cats. The halos are from the cillia on their heds spinning to draw in algae, protozoans and detritus for food. 2/3 done. This has been a fun one!

Yammering about antisemitism; promoting antisemites. "The ways in which the administration is exploiting the Jewish community's legitimate fears and concerns about antisemitism is ultimately undermining Jewish safety," said @amyspitalnick.bsky.social, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.

The anti-intellectual effort moves beyond Harvard and Columbia as the administration’s ghouls plans to subjugate some universities while flaying others. Divide and conquer. Wassup UC?

Having fun at the art residency. I am observing rotifers and then transforming them into cats using pastels and alcohol.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.
