The wastewater sleuths have found an unknown virus in their data. It’s the most prevalent virus in their samples, but they don’t know what it is or what it infects. And it surges in midsummer.
Help me out, I’ve got another wastewater virus mystery.
This one really blows my mind.

You know that repulsive video of Trump in the F-16 dropping sh*t on Americans peacefully protesting his insanity? Well, I fixed it.

I won't apologize for the flood of reposts; I wanted to make sure we could all see each other and those who could not make it out in person could see that we all know we are in this together!

Omg, omg. Amazing! 🧪
I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

How to record ICE:
1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

Dearest Martha,
The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.
Yours in glaze,

LA Taco throws shade on rumors of an impending farm workers’ strike.
On the other hand, if they were planning a strike would they go around blabbing about it? Probably not, I think.
Stay tuned!

The announcement on July 5 about a potential farm worker labor strike being organized generated controversy, alleging that Zaragoza, the organizer, is the one urging farmworkers, and that an action like that can put migrants in danger.

I’ve been following LA TACO, which started out following taco culture in LA but has been doing great on-the-ground reporting on the impact of ICE raids.
We’re seeing reports of Feds raiding farms in Oxnard and Camarillo today. This just happened in Camarillo.
