Krystle Hickman is on a quest to document hundreds of species of native bees, which are under threat by climate change and habitat loss, some of it caused by the more recognizable and agriculturally valued honey bee — an invasive species.
A photographer’s quest to document native bees includes an annual search along the California-Oregon border
Since 2021, she’s traveled annually to the Oregon-California border to look for a critically endangered bee last seen in 2006 – Bombus franklini, or Franklin’s bumblebee.

The way I identify with this HITS HARD

Then I talked to my friend who is also the child of parents that have stayed married but they seem so badly suited to each other

A student attended a protest targeting companies that supplied Israel with weapons.

He was banned from Cornell University and ICE subpoenaed Google for his personal data, including credit card and bank account numbers:

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries weakened their already tepid demands for ICE reforms in a press conference on Wednesday — before negotiations with Republicans even started. “Certainly I think there’s agreement that no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion,” said Jeffries.

The Democratic leaders’ supposed demands for reform were already previously condemned as weak and ineffective.
