The Right Wants to Write Indigenous People Out of US History. We Won’t Let Them.
The Trump administration is reviving the visual language of manifest destiny and weaponizing the US’s founding myths.

The fun thing about overturning presidential pardons is that presidential pardons cease to have long-term significance.

I close the week on Primulaceae with a few leftover photos:
1. Myrsine asymmetrica of New Caledonia has asymmetrical leaves. Very weird!
2. Myrsine divaricata is one of New Zealand’s divaricating shrubs.
3. Primula clevelandii var. clevelandii (formerly Dodecatheon c.)

A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny.

The entire operation is illegal. It all needs oversight. 1/

"Look, if these people floating in the middle of the ocean, clinging to the burning hull of bombed-out boat had decided to make a run for it, there's no telling how many Americans they would have killed. So we murdered them. Then got pizza."
Markwayne Mullin defends Hegseth: "If there was a second strike, it wouldn't be to just simply take out the survivors. It's because there was still a threat or opportunity for them to run."

“This is exacerbated when Amazon then pulls this contaminated water, which is already over federal legal limits for nitrates, up to cool its data centers”

Areas in which centers are built are often high contamination drought areas. This process makes it much worse.

We're not there yet, but looking at how other autocratic regimes collapse, the temporal distance between 'Everyone Loves the Leader' and 'No one will admit in public they ever supported that guy' can be *very* short.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.

So there’s that, too.

Absolutely no reason to say "Thank you Mr. President" after that. Fuck access and fuck him. He can't survive without cameras and microphones on him anyway.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

This is all true but

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law

2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up

The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.
If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

Lots of ignorance about Turkeys, including their domestication, why they are named Turkeys, how many species of Turkeys there are and their distribution across the Americas. Remember Benjamin Franklin wanted Turkeys as the USA National symbol for a reason? www.sapiens.org/archaeology/...

Some Indigenous peoples in the U.S. Southwest have a long relationship with turkeys, which they use for their feathers, eggs, meat, and more.

Currently watching Night of the Creeps (1986) and absolutely enjoying it. It's completely self-aware and leans into tropes, like Scream but for b-movies. Tons of Easter eggs.

Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.

Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.
