Conversion therapy for minors is child abuse. It robs them of the two things they need most: a secure attachment with their parents rooted in acceptance, care and unconditional love; and a secure attachment to their own precious, authentic selves.

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

DHS Says Videotaping ICE Agents Is Illegal. Federal Courts Disagree.

Filming law enforcement serves important goals central to a free republic.

Alberta launched its border patrol last year to help stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across what Premier Smith called the “leaky” U.S. border.

But the Interdiction Patrol Team has so far made only a handful of arrests, according to data released through an access to information request.

Ten months in, critics are concerned about the $29-million cost and few results from the initiative.

With MOTUS tag on board, the monarch is released! It immediately flew straight up, did a couple of circles to re-orient and then went about its butterfly business. There’s so much to learn about monarch migration and tracking individuals like this beauty is an important source of data! (4/4)

UPDATE: I saw it happen! At the Birds Canada research station at the tip of Long Point I watched an expert ever-so-gently and carefully put one of these tiny tags on a monarch. Let me walk you through the steps (1/4)

So cool to visit the Motus workshop at Birds Canada headquarters. The Motus community is studying the movement of birds, bats and insects. This tiny radio telemetry device will fit on a Monarch butterfly 😲 #invertebrates #birds 🌿 www.birdscanada.org/bird-science...

Brown wood-sided building with a wi Dow and a door. Sign above the door says, “Motus Workshop and Research Laboratory”.

Tiny antenna with a rectangular box on the end. The whole thing is on an open hand and is about 5cm long.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
