Violent oppression and intimidation have always been the tools of the political Right in lieu of cultural currency.

Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.

We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.

Archaeologists 🥺

A digital art interpretation of The Flower Vendor, 1882 by Victor Prouvé. It shows a smiling feminine Brown character with long wavy teal hair, holding a skull in their right hand and a big basket full of flowers with three skulls in their left hand, hugging to their body. Their chest is exposed, lower part is covered in a white dress. The background is dark with different brushstrokes of coral color. End ID.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Tumblr had to put out a PSA about the "I accidentally reported your account, come talk to me on Discord about it!" scam. I've seen it on Tumblr, here, Minecraft.

It's usually coming from hacked accounts so if you know the person outside and can say "Hey you got hacked", do, otherwise just block.

NEW: Clergy are at the Broadview, IL ICE facility today — where clergy have been shot w/pepper balls in recent days.

UMC minister Rev. Hannah Kardon, one of those shot w/pepper balls in the past, among those asking to give communion to those detained. Attendees (who sent photos) say police declined

Clergy holding communion wares talking to police.

Your regular reminder, aside from the performative public lying of far right authoritarians, that the GOP & the national media would have a week-long Discourse On Civility if <any Democrat> ever spoke about GOP voters/conservatives the way GOP leaders speak about Dem voters/liberals every single day

Katie Porter has been given the benefit of the doubt over and over and over, including by myself.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck and keeps happening… when are we going to admit it’s actually a poorly tempered duck?

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

The Portland frogs are multiplying. I’m watching the livestream at katu.com/watch

Three green froggies and a skeleton frog! These are inflatable costumes and some of the frogs have little capes. They’re protesting on the other side of the street from ICE.

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

Costa Samaras @costasamaras.com · 12h

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency
