I was lucky enough to spend ten days in eastern Greenland just four months ago; here are some of my photos. It is absolutely bonkers to consider the Mango Mussolini is openly contemplating illegally invading this peaceful country -- no less a NATO member -- to seize its natural resources.

Crimes against humanity
Snapshot of text from article that reads, The 6-year-old is part of a growing number of children arrested and detained by ICE, according to newly released data obtained by the Deportation Data Project through a Freedom of Information Act request. One hundred and fifty one children under the age of 18 have been arrested between January and October, with a sharp increase beginning in May.”

Every year I watch Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving special and have so many questions about Woodstock’s excitement to chow down on a turkey

The NYT truly buried the lede somewhere in the 16th paragraph

Screenshot of paragraph with text highlighted yellow that says “Mrs. [Katie] Miller, who revealed on the debut episode of her podcast that Mr. [Stephen] Miller eats only mayonnaise. Literally.”

Washington Spirit fans got everyone in the crowd in San Jose at the @nwslsoccer.com championship game last night to chant “Free DC” at the 51st minute. Great game, too.

This is Candy the Chocolate Lab rescue as a British barrister. I hit upon the idea in March and tested it out, unfortunately she went to the dog park in the sky in June and we didn’t get to wear the costume tonight.
Chocolate Lab with a small sheepskin on her head and a black blanket wrapped around her. She looks like a British barrister in a wig and robe, and also is saying “what the fuck” with her eyes. She is a very good girl.

Scenes from #NoKings #FreeDC rally — standing up for democracy in the shadow of the US Capitol
We are the resistance Man holding sign saying “Stop kidnapping our neighbors you fascist pieces of shit” in front of the US Department of Labor building which has a giant North Korean style banner of Trump’s face Anti-JD Vance poster that reads “Fuck, Marry, Kill” and underneath pictures of a stained couch, his wife Usha, and Pope Francis giving Vance the side-eye

Also from the story about the #KavanaughRaid in the middle of the night on the South Side of Chicago, where federal agents pulled sleeping people out of their apartments and handcuffed every single person living in this building for hours
Screenshot of text that reads: Marlee Sanders' boyfriend was detained, Sanders said. "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van," Sanders said.

I spent the past 10 days on a boat in the fjords of eastern Greenland with no Internet or news access and apparently missed a lot. After 24 hours back in so-called civilization, I’m not quite sure why I left the boat, TBH.
Sailboat with five sails raised next to a large iceberg. The sunset is reflecting off the sails and ice. Going on a walkabout next to a glacier in Scoresby Sund fjord system in Greenland. Greenland - tundra with red leaves in the foreground, with the fjord in the middle distance, and glacier and mountains in the distance. Iceberg with hole in it. Another iceberg is visible in the distance.

This in the same article also caused a spit-take
Screenshot from the NYT: "The former official also said it was unusual to have 11 people manning a vessel that could easily be crewed by two or three, especially since traffickers are always trying to maximize the amount of cargo space devoted to carrying drugs, not human beings. In the former official’s opinion, it was more likely that the vessel was carrying migrants on a human smuggling run. It would be impossible to know for sure, however, given that any evidence of drug smuggling was destroyed in the attack."

Everything is going to shit in the world. I need to fix something. Six hours of cleaning up my shared backyard that hasn’t been raked in a few years. 27 yard waste bags later, it’s presentable, I can barely walk, and my arms look like I lost a knife fight. @palmercatsf.bsky.social approves!
Lots of bags of yard waste in a row. A very tired person at the end Aerial view of bags of yard waste lined next to a fence

Put this in my veins right now
Fake headline over a photo of a middle aged white woman running on a trail in a forest. She is wearing a red long sleeve shirt and black running capris. The fake headline reads: “Local Woman Loves to Run on Trails, where it’s just her, nature, and the constant simmering rage and despair that is everyone’s new normal”

Just a little too on the nose this month, @bencollins.bsky.social @theonion.com
Picture of the June 2025 paper copy of The Onion. Main headline reads “White House Evacuated After Trans Alarm Goes Off” with sub-header of “Trump shaken after close brush with trans person” and a photo of a Secret Service agent moving Trump. Adjacent to the right is another article with a photo of a sad looking young white boy with a headline of “Congress Plays Keep-Away With Child’s School Lunch” and sub-header of “Meal snatched for lawmakers’ amusement” Bottom half of front page of the June 2025 paper edition of The Onion. Headline reads “US Citizenship Test To Include 4-Year Imprisonment Section” and sub-header of “Applicants must be locked up in undisclosed site to become citizens”

Excerpt from Justice Sotomayor's dissent in CASA v. Trump. It reads: No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from lawabiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship. The majority holds that, absent cumbersome class-action litigation, courts cannot completely enjoin even such plainly unlawful policies unless doing so is necessary to afford the formal parties complete relief. That holding renders constitutional guarantees meaningful in name only for any individuals who are not parties to a lawsuit. Because I will not be complicit in so grave an attack on our system of law, I dissent.
