The US just bombed four more boats due to suspected “narco terrorists” on board.

This time they were in the Pacific

14 people have been killed

No trial . No evidence. Just murdered.

Mexico’s Navy is currently searching for one lone survivor.

To quote my friend @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, climate change won't make humanity extinct but we can do better than "not extinct". Raise your standards people!

Excellent band names from one of my student's lessons today, talking about her cat and politics:

Meat Apple
Marie Antoinette's Perfumed Goats

Please show me what genres those would be

Proof of life! (Tho RIP my hair 🥴💀)

Covid-safer #LiveMusic is alive & well in #Seattle. So many fab folks in mask chains, #covidcautious musicians, new friends (tho no new housemate leads!) - not bad for an insomnia/Bad Body Day.

@cleanairevents.bsky.social ftw! Looking forward to November's. 🍂✨️🍁

2 adults and a kid pose in a photo booth wearing respirator masks. The kid is wearing a black t-shirt with CLEAN AIR EVENTS / GATHER SAFER on the front. Miles is on the right, wearing a black respirator, Maclom X glasses, black and white shirt collar style choker, and a white tee with grey design partially obscured by a black v-neck sweater. Both adults flank the tweenage kid, and are flashing milleneal style peace signs

Millions of Americans are working without pay in Federal and Air Traffic Controller jobs while White House continues construction of 200 Million$ Ballroom during the Government Shutdown. Unbelievable people voted for this illiterate clown 👇

👍🏽 Share if you want Rep. Adelita Grijalva of Arizona sworn in.

Mike Johnson says he'll swear her in whenever she wants. She's wanted to be sworn in since she won her election in a landslide!

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

As long as Donald Trump continues to invade our blue States and blue cities with troops and federal agents, and continues to weaponize the DOJ going after his political opponents — every blue State needs to withhold 100% of federal taxes. The red states would crumble and so would Trump.

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 24d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The question remains: will the administration care or change course at all? The path here has been paved with broken court orders

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

I'm in (post-moveout/pre-movein between housemates) cleaning hell tonight, keeping myself preoccupied with basement-cleaning-inspired bandnames.

Best so far: The Dirty Web, though I'm reconsidering with Scorched Earth Policy

Still looking for a #covid-cautious housemate in Seattle! Bonus of doing this now: patio meetup and space tour comes with garden treats.

A hand holds 2 medium size yellow tomatoes in front of the plant they were harvested from.

A huge tomatillo plant in a large wooden planter drips with golf ball sized fruit.

A cluster of 3 small orange Sungold cherry tomatoes ripen on the vine.

Through a trellis fence, a sprawling raspberry bush displays ripening fruit.
