Know before you go...

"Peaceful assembly is still protected under the First Amendment—but police may use “disorder” or “safety” as pretexts for force...

Public spaces—streets, sidewalks, parks—are legal venues. But blocking operations, traffic, or access may void those protections."

It blows my mind when the dna websites can pull up matches that are 10s of thousands of years old. Maybe its not that special, and I don't really understand genetics, but until then, I'll marvel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ust%27-...

Thank you. The chances are super low, but it’s still a worry.

We got the kids vaxxed today and I’m slightly stressed that if Ollie has a fever it could trigger a seizure. It’s his first shots since his epilepsy diagnosis.

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

Looks like a really bad collision next to Boise high, I’m hoping it’s not a pedestrian.

It’s annoying that simple things are now dog fights. Pre-Covid there was way more courtesy.

Thankfully, the whole claw wasn’t amputated , the nail is supposed to grow back. But if it happens again, we have to amputate that claw-toe.

I must explain that this is not accurate, particularly the part about Ellis Island. I cannot speak to the Chinese diaspora angle, but many of us have family whose names were expressed in non-Roman alphabets when they immigrated. This is a long thread, but I literally do this for a living. 1/

Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 7d

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.

Robyn Pennacchia @robynelyse.bsky.social · 7d

Now, more than ever, it's important to understand why so many the myths we tell ourselves about immigration are actually very harmful.

First of all, your great-great-grandparents names *were not changed* at Ellis Island. No one there had the authority to do that.

Qatar gave Don an excellent adventure so Don’s giving Qatar a Boise base bigger than the matrix. As he flips the bird at a bald eagle of US sovereignty, maybe it’s time I say I was an ostrich with my hand in the sand, fly the coop and admit Donald’s no dove?

This is different because they are building a facility. I don't think they other countries have a facility, but train with us.
