Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Good morning, monsters.

Fallen leaves are not only pretty, but an excellent place to hide. Or listen to sputtering rain tap on the leaves while you rest, where human concerns cannot find you.

It’s just wild to me how many iterations there are of the United States. I don’t know the place that so many people describe when they shout about saving democracy. I’ve never been there. And yet I’ve lived here all my life…

“We have created a future that will ask us if we love it enough to live in it.
There is no glory. This is it. An intimacy bound, feet first, to the damp and scorched earth.”

Maya Pace on loving California (and maybe other things)

Thin White Line – Maya Pace
Writer and community practitioner Maya Pace awakens to how California’s essential nature, dry, scorched, renewed by flame, has been repressed for centuries by our ideals of paradise.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions
Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:
Trump Cuts Are Killing a Tiny Office That Keeps Measurements of the World Accurate
A tiny but crucial agency that maintains physical coordinates like latitude and longitude in the US is struggling as the Trump administration forces out federal employees.

@lailalalami.com ‘s amazing book The Dream Hotel is about the surveillance state and the commercialization of personal information, but it’s also SUCH a woman’s book. About trying so damn hard for corporeal autonomy, the loss of anything secret, the daily invasion on femininity. #booksky

this week's BASKETBALL FEELINGS is about the contradictions of the nba playoffs — its active language of loss, the correct amount of want vs. pressure, and the weird green frenzy of energy that spills out right now before the postseason clamps up
Stakes
The NBA playoff's rules, conditions, and contradictions of pressure.

Not all fossils are the bodies of animals or plants. Trace fossils like tracks & burrows preserve animal behaviour.

This beauty is on display in Elgin Museum & labelled as Jurassic worm burrow. I would use the ichnogenus Gyrochorte but maybe @ichnologist.bsky.social can advise?

I kinda like when passersby tell me “I like your tattoos. I want to get some, but I’m afraid they’ll hurt” and I get to reply “They always hurt, but then they don’t.”
