Fuck me. That's a long list.
Sowwy, the rules say you can't hurt my feewings!
House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:

"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

ICE is recruiting by selling service as militaristic ethnonationalism, an opportunity to engage in manly, heroic violence purging the nation of immigrants and their cosmopolitan allies. The public is recoiling now that it's seeing these cracked priorities enacted.

Why do Trump and MAGA think it's good to spend billions on huge prison camps and divert massive law enforcement resources away from child and drug trafficking to arrest and detain non-criminals who would otherwise be contributing vitally to our economy?

Daily reminder. 🌱

Plant a seed, any seed, TODAY. And tomorrow, and next week, and the week after.

Keep planting until you grow something. ANYTHING.

You don't have to replace all your groceries, but at least TRY to replace ONE THING you currently buy.

It can even be just herbs! 🌿
Listen, you need to start growing shit. It's not actual shit, but you know what I mean. You need to start growing. And try growing whatever the hell you want to grow. Whatever food you eat, try growing that. I don't care if it's something that doesn't typically grow in your area or zone Try it.

Since this news story is popular with you people, here's a reminder that naming species after monstrous humans is a bad idea and a big problem.

The species in that preview is the Hitler beetle. Neo-Nazis have robbed museums and threatened people trying to get a specimen.

My prediction for AI, watching reporting of latest resignations of co-founders and team leaders from Elon's xAI:
These talented folks see the writing on the wall: elon is flailing.
'Go fast and break things' is all very exciting until your career is in the chaotic slipstream.

Phantom Fossils

Upon the beach, in golden sand,
The receding tide withdraws its hand.
Where phantom fronds and branches rise,
A fossil forest born of salt and sighs.
