This morning, I woke up to this tragic news.

Does it tear you apart the way it does me? 💔 💔 💔

Is there a living soul anywhere who actually believes there will be places on the Earth where one could escape the catastrophic consequences of such a future?

We need a wholesome planet, not AI.

I learn that Archaeopteryx was the only known bird genus from the Jurassic period, but now a second genus from this time when birds first evolved has come to light: Baminornis, discovered last year. 🧪
How did birds evolve? The answer is wilder than anyone thought!

Provocative headline for this excellent @nature.com piece by @michael-marshall.bsky.social , reviewing the latest research on bird origins

With some thoughts by some guy with a new bird book coming out.

Been traveling with limited internet, but couldn’t pass up today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme from @alan678.bsky.social, #BrownIsBeautiful. Going with this House Sparrow couple on our backyard. These pics really showed me how they’re not just plain, LBB’s, as I think of them.

It's actually very feasible to defund and dismantle ICE within a few months. Just do what they did to every federal science agency last year. #ScienceSky #MedSky 🩺🧪
It's very easy to tear something down, just defund and start ripping out wires. #AbolishICE
The US government has lost more than 10,000 people with PhDs in the STEM or health fields since Trump 2.0 took office — 14% of the federal civil servants with PhDs in those areas, a @ScienceMagazine analysis shows.

Well he needs to get Schumer and Booker out of leadership positions then. They are collaborators who care only for their corporate donors.
Sen Chris Murphy warns Dems:

"If people don’t see us fighting on something as existential as whether we condone the federal government murdering our own citizens, there will be a mass withdrawal from politics altogether."

On the pod, Murphy lays it all out so well:

Maybe CDC ‘leadership’ hoped nobody would notice? 😳 In 2025, nearly half of CDC databases that were previously updated monthly stopped updating without explanation. Real-time tracking of vaccines & outbreaks vanished.

A Minneapolis man spoke truth to power while addressing Rep. Ro Khanna at the Alex Pretti vigil, declaring that even though they are peaceful, they won’t be silenced while state violence continues.

Every senator should be following Rep. Ro Khanna’s lead and head to Minneapolis before they cast their vote on more ICE funding.

It’s a moral test, and anyone who claims to stand for human rights should take notes.

If Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown.

It’s time to stop ICE’s violence.

People seem to have forgotten that the establishment of Homeland Security was highly controversial as it was seen as a danger to democracy. It was feared that it would one day be used AGAINST the American people. And here we are.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

People absolutely need to stop describing these ICE murders as "fatal shootings". It's not a shooting. Words matter.

It's murder, in plain sight. And filmed at multiple angles.
