Today's photos were taken in 2017 (like yesterday's) - that's me in the 2nd one but my friend Reynir Þór in the others. Feb 5th, 2017. It had obviously snowed overnight.

Hand sample and thin section of a pillow rind and interior from Palaeogene lavas of eastern Baffin island. The solidifying melt continued to exsolve gas bubbles, trapped in the pillow interior by the rind.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

Striking essay on letting artists and scholars and scientists do what they will. Great things happen.
Written 90 years ago, when Germany and Italy forced scholars out, we took them in.
And America later thrived — with technology and culture and, unfortunately, weapons of war.

ICE is active in south Minneapolis today-
Multiple cars cruising around East Phillips, Midtown Phillips.
Meanwhile, signal is having issues, so folks should be outside!
See ICE? Form a crowd and get loud.
Let neighbors know if ICE is nearby by making noise.
