"Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions."
At a time when multiple federal departments run by Donald Trump have posted Nazi slogans or imagery or songs in the last week—with the total number of incidents being impossible to count just on one hand—Trump is now demanding lists of Jews from U.S. institutions.
Time to wake the fuck up, all.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Time for yet another megathread of my favourite satellite pics.
This time I have 123 images processed by me in 2025 *.
Various dates, random places.
Most of them were taken by Sentinel-2, some by S-3 and one or two by Landsat.
*There's one more pic that isn't mine, but it's so good 😊

Today's nudibranch is Diversidoris crocea. My book calls it a saffron noumea, but it doesn't seem to have any widely accepted common name, which seems a shame. Pic from Anilao.
