Lest we forget: In 1991, the New Orleans City Council passed an ordinance that required social organizations to certify publicly that they did not discriminate ... The Comus organization... withdrew from parading rather than racially integrating. #RexComus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistick...

Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

apparently ICE has tried to arrest someone at a mosque here in AK in the past weeks, and they have really targeted the state courts.

I absolutely know cancer patients who lost opportunities to stay in curative care because of covid infections that they caught on unmasked inpatient oncology units and derailed their treatment
The current situation of unrestrained Covid-19 in medical settings, resulting in countless instances of illness and mortality, provides unmistakable evidence that the human community has abandoned all semblance of care and concern. Human lives are being thrown away without a second thought.

Hal Clement was a B-24 pilot...and a really sweet man. We'd go, "Hi, Harry!" to each other because that was his real name, too.

Great story! A fascinating reuse for discarded hair. 🧪
NGO uses recycled hair to help restore Mexico City's agricultural islands.
Water contamination is an increasing concern on the city's "chinampas", agricultural islands first developed in pre-Hispanic times. Environmental NGO Matter of Trust is testing human hair as a tool to reduce pollution

Perhaps most telling is that by signing onto the WEXMAC TITUS program, vendors are contractually not allowed to refuse ICE jobs.
“So if there was a US citizen—a baby, or someone sick that clearly shouldn’t be there—the contractor can’t say they don’t want to take them," a fed worker told me.

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program

I like that his tuxedo coat makes him look like he was one of those chunky street performers dressed as superheroes in Hollywood.
Palmerston, a cat who served as the “chief mouser” for Britain’s diplomatic service, has died in Bermuda. He was about 12.
Palmerston, the Former ‘Chief Mouser’ for Britain’s Foreign Office, Dies
The cat, who was named after a former prime minister, became a social media star. By the time of his death at about 12, he had more followers than many ambassadors have.

What an incredible guy
I truly cannot imagine. I am not a large woman and it was cramped inside for me. Imagining that, in the air, with oxygen and bulky flight suits and being under fire? And firing a browning? Holy god.

My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.
