Easy for news like this to get lost in the noise, but one of my colleagues was the historian the Hidatsa turned to for help compiling oral histories and other evidence not often recognized by academia.

Tribal history and new evidence tell a different, fuller story of Sacagawea
Sacagawea's story was mostly told by the white American and European men who kept journals of the expedition, but the Hidatsa tribe and other tribes have a long oral history that tells a different sto...

The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax”, usurping the power of Congress, and trampling on the DOJ’s independence is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover up.

Trump's desire for control could be his undoing.

If we don’t speak up for the communities that Trump is terrorizing right now, we will be next.

His authoritarianism will come for all of us in the end. https://youtu.be/tkaBlgXR8tY?si=bJcUxXZWMrae4kwx

I love puffins because they have both penguin and capybara vibes.
Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds.

This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg.

Seabird peer-pressure can be intense.

The stages of dealing with dragons in Skyrim.

1. Oh no! Oh no! It's so big! What do I do?

2. Okay, you can do it, you did it before.

3. Nice! Now I'll get some dragon bones.

4. Another one, really? Fine.

5. Seriously? I'm overweight as is and can't carry more scales or bones.

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE:

-Website crashed 4 times in 10 days
-Phone lines are overwhelmed
-Staff being forced out
-Customer experience office eliminated
-SSA field offices on the chopping block

This is an attack on Social Security itself.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Confession- For years of my life I never actually saw the title of Adele’s “chasing pavements”, I only ever heard it on the radio, so I was convinced the song was “chasing penguins” and I thought this woman had created a quirky song about wanting to leave her man and move to Antarctica.

This is who comes after your children: Republican men who hide behind a cross and wrap themselves in the flag.

We need to protect our kids from Justin Eichorn and people like him who prey on them.

Things I learned from being homeless

1) The government hates you. It hates all of you.

2) The rich hate you too.

3) If they come for homeless people, you’re next.

4) Wall Street bankers are actually psychopaths. Like, American psycho is not an exaggeration.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.

What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.

Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.
