If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast

"While frequently focused on those who have faced long-standing barriers to these resources – for example, racial and ethnic minorities and people with disabilities – the results of research related to DEIA are often applied to help all people achieve their potential."

Cuts to research into inequality, disparities and other DEIA topics harm science
From HIV treatments to school desegregation, research into topics now considered DEIA have benefited Americans throughout history.

Scientists Find Mysterious, Life-Rich Ecosystem Nearly 12,000 Feet Beneath Greenland Sea
An expert said that this discovery 'rewrites the playbook for Arctic deep-sea ecosystems and carbon cycling.' Small sea snails with their shells coated in orange material, amphipods, tube-dwelling worms, and deep-sea clams; these are the residents of a colony recently...

ICE is on Alert. They have been tipped off about a foreigner who will enter the country in the next few days. He is believed to be from the North Pole and driving a vehicle which is unlicensed and has an expired registration. He will probably be arrested, violently. What’s more he is a socialist.

From the Needles District, Island in the Sky appears as a massive, flat-topped mesa dominating the northern horizon. Situated approximately 1,000 feet lower than the mesa, the Needles offers a perspective of a towering, sheer-walled 'island' of rock floating above the surrounding canyons.

I haven’t stopped thinking about this frog since learning about it a few days ago, so now this knowledge is your problem too.
Meet the turtle frog (Myobatrachus gouldii) – a round burrow gremlin from Australia. It gets its name from looking like a turtle that lost its shell.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation
![. . . very cooperative, but the police at that point had to let [redacted] know that what she had done that she could be facing charges.
Q And that was after they had told her earlier that she didn't need an attorney present, correct?
A Exactly.
Q Okay. So this happens to her with the Palm Beach Police Department and did the Palm Beach Police actually present or propose charging [redacted]?
A They did get a probable cause affidavit against [redacted].
Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
A He asked for immunity for [redacted].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreiariijffjjrgfh26o22jjr76pwprinvnbpkcho5lyi2sucfbqlooy@jpeg)

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

UPDATE: CNN confirms that "the envelope [holding the Epstein-Nassar Note] was sent from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City [where Epstein was being held] to Nassar"—*and* got vetted by federal officials.
Which explains the Virginia postmark (where the FBI is).
