New and timely research on tropical cyclone-associated extreme precipitation in California (yes, you read that right!) in a warming climate. While such events remain uncommon, a large increase in likelihood of such events is projected with ocean warming.

I see a lot of “so-and-so is a birthright citizen” because their parents weren’t citizens when they were born on American soil. But the truth is, we’re all birthright citizens, unless we have been naturalized.

#DACA renewal delays have stretched to as long as a year for some Dreamers. Healthcare worker Juan Chavez Velasco submitted his paperwork months ahead of time. He was abducted by ICE during that wait and his protections expired while he was in detention: www.ms.now/news/ice-det... #HomeIsHere

Five Norton Sound tribes are asking a federal judge to throw out a key federal permit for a large-scale gold mine proposed in Bonanza Channel, an estuary about 30 miles east of Nome.

My husband had to drive into the Bay Area today for work and was passed on the freeway by a woman ASLEEP WITH A BLANKET OVER HER in a Tesla with the self-driving feature presumably on. Absolutely batshit to me that there is no regulation of this.

“Brian got some hair gel and now he thinks he’s a f***ing unicorn.”

Low-Earth orbit has gotten so crowded that new NASA mission proposals need to include (and pay for, out of a limited cost cap!) three collision avoidance maneuvers, and are told to expect 1-5 potential collisions that need to be avoided.

The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's attack on birthright citizenship. By a 5–4 vote, it holds that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born of unauthorized and temporary immigrants. Roberts and Barrett join the three liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Here's a beaver about to say hello to me last night. #wildlife #beaver

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds West Virginia and Idaho's laws banning trans girls and women from women's sports. Justice Kavanaugh has the opinion for the court, holding that states "may" make sports eligibility based on "biological sex." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

“Transgender Americans are patriots, family members, volunteers, historians, and descendants of Revolutionary War ancestors just like anyone else. Excluding or targeting people because of their gender identity contradicts the values of respect, service, and sisterhood that the DAR claims to uphold.”

BREAKING: More than 100 Venezuelans who were deported from the U.S. hours before the earthquakes are missing after their hotel collapsed.

Antler tissue is the fastest-growing animal tissue. It can grow at a rate up to 2 cm/day in some species. Despite this very high cell division rate, there are remarkably cancer-free, a paradox that biologists continue to study. Elk can grow a whole 40 lb (18 kg) set in less than 6 months. #mammals

The oligarch Marc Andreessen now sits on the Defense Policy Board, per the Pentagon in an email to reporters. So does the "Flight 93 Election" fash polemicist Michael Anton; and the Arizona losing candidate Blake Masters, a protege of the oligarch Peter Thiel.

Today someone asked for three sunflowers from my garden, they wanted them for their mother’s grave. 🌻💛🥺 #Gardening #BloomScrolling

It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

First opinion: Watson v RNC, a 5-4 by Justice Barrett. Mail-in ballots MAY BE received after Election Day. Republican challenge is thwarted. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The rise of AI-generated animal videos and images is such a travesty. Animal content has always been one of the best things about the internet and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell what’s real

"People are betting on wildfires." Really feels like banning these betting markets is a minimum necessary condition for civilisation.

Seemed like ladybug and flower weather. This is my 8” x 8” lino block print on delicate Japanese washi paper of a seven-spotted lady beetle, or ladybird or lady bug (Coccinella septempunctata) on a pink apple blossom. minouette.etsy.com/listing/4444... #linocut #printmaking #insect #blossom 🧪🐡🐞

What began as a “flamingo revolution” to protest the $1.4 billion development on Sazan Island has spiraled into mass protests against a ruling party that thousands now want out.

Here's a gift link to this New York Times story. The Trump regime has one goal: to stuff money in the Trumps' pockets, no matter who gets hurt or what laws get broken.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

How bad was the Venezuelan quake? It lifted my country's - Trinidad and Tobago - coastline in some areas by 20 feet. We are many miles from the epicenter, though only a few miles from the Venezuelan coastline. And yes, we felt it. trinidadexpress.com/news/local/q...

The Ohanapecosh River gets much of its striking blue color from Mount Rainier’s glacial meltwater. As glaciers grind against the mountain, they create fine particles of rock called glacial flour. Those tiny minerals stay suspended in the water and scatter light, giving the river that vivid color.

The Hove Amber Cup, crafted approximately 3,500 years ago from a singular piece of Baltic amber, was discovered in 1856 within a Bronze Age burial mound in Hove, Sussex. It's the best preserved of only two such Bronze Age vessels identified across Europe. 📷 me 🏺 #Archaeology
