The "Seditious" video only admonished against following illegal orders, it didn't say anything about bragging
The move avoids the release of more messages from a Border Patrol agent whose previous texts showed he had bragged about shooting her.

penguins to the rescue!
Penguin poop might help cool Antarctica. A study in @commsearth.nature.com suggests ammonia from Adelie penguin guano boosts cloud formation, which could reduce surface temperatures and slow sea ice loss: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

10 months in and we're getting drunk SS members asking local cops if they're Haitian
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Trump complains about his Time Magazine cover photo in new post:
"the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown... Really weird!"

Data from the Cassini spacecraft shows that there is complex organic chemistry happening in the ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus.
It took 17 years to get the result! The finding boosts the case that life could possibly exist inside this little ice-covered world. 🧪🔭

Trying to make sense of the motivation for a shooter/murderer is problematic. The perp has already gone far beyond what is sensible in taking that action. This whole biz of throwing around the term "political violence" is more of an act of politics than an accurate description of what is going on.

"Medal of Honor" going the way of the penny. Hope the generals congregating this weekend say something about it.

Why not give William Calley a medal of honor too?
Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/
