New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Just popping in to report that if you wear your “Chinga La Migra/Chinga Tu MAGA” shirt to the Burbank Costco, the reactions will be positive (and if you’re wondering I got the shirt, I don’t remember, and for Christ’s sake you’re literally on the internet right now).

Textbooks tend to say it's William Buckland or Robert T. Bakker, who made modern dinosaurs. But what if I told you, palaeoart started in South Africa, was revolutionised by Nazi-fighting Polish women and illustrated by an Oxfordian homemaker and her pet tortoise? Let's rewrite the history 👇

Looks suspiciously like an El Niño is going to be unleashed in the future. That will have significant consequences on the Pacific climate and global temps. 🌊🥵 could be bad for coral 🪸 reefs.
A crazy amount of heat has accumulated in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean over the past two months.

Hold on to your hats when this reaches the surface with the next El Niño.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

"Moises" shared this picture from where they are harvesting pomegranates in Fresno county. "We make $130 for every four 900 lb bins we fill. We climb 20ft ladders to harvest the fruit and the sacks we put the fruit in while doing this weigh 75 lb when full." #WeFeedYou

If you sit on any major street in the Twin Cities, within 5 minutes you'll see black SUVs racing around, doubling the speed limit. Passing on narrow two lane roads. It's absolutely insane right now.
