This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Not a crackplant, but I was surprised to notice a Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina) growing in Snyder Plaza. I've seen them along Columbus but this is the first one I've noticed further into the city from the river.

She voted to confirm Bergum. One of many pro fascist votes for her this year. And she has put all of her money on the data centers near Reno that have made our water and electricity bills soar. I will be voting for her primary opponent, no matter who.

Nevada Sen. @cortezmasto.senate.gov calls on Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to provide more information about the gigantic solar project in her state that just got axed with zero public explanation (via @lasvegassun.bsky.social)

In a statement sent to the Las Vegas Sun, U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto lambasted the administration’s “lack of transparency” and urged Burgum to provide clarity.

“Solar energy production makes electric bills cheaper, creates good-paying jobs, and drives economic growth,” Cortez Masto said.

One thing I really respect about crypto is they do not mess around letting weak hands bleed out. There’s no messing around with foreplay, just every thing gets liquidated in 15 minutes and then it bottoms out and finds a new level.
