Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

Pics from 4 of the 5 biggest geomagnetic storms so far from Solar Cycle 25. Alas, it was midnight sun season and cloudy during the biggest storm of the cycle in May 2024.
As solar maximum wains, we will see less big displays, but I bet we have a few shows left.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

on my latest trip to the big town, the sky called.
it had painted wonderful things in the last hours of daylight, it wanted me to see.
i kept me awake, so that i could try to loosen all tension in me, and feel the days grow longer - each day a second more.

Exactly how long does it take to hold someone in contempt, when there is blatant defiance of a court order?

This is an animal. And it’s not a jellyfish.
It’s a comb jelly (ctenophore), one of the most ancient animals on Earth.
And yes… it makes its own light. Many comb jellies actually produce bioluminescent flashes when disturbed
