Blue iguana climbs back from the brink. Grand Cayman’s blue iguana, once down to fewer than 25 individuals, now numbers more than 1,000 in the wild. Captive breeding, habitat restoration and community engagement reversed what was nearly a Caribbean extinction. CNN buff.ly/GKiJpcz

The ‘blue dragon’ is back from the brink | CNN
Habitat loss and invasive cats and dogs pushed blue iguanas to the brink of extinction. Now, thanks to ongoing conservation efforts, populations are on the rise.

The case raises a disturbing question: if these deportations weren’t actually requested by the families, what exactly did Trump intend to do with all these children once they were removed from U.S. soil?

Another federal judge has dealt Trump a legal setback, over the government’s treatment of migrant children. The court blocked his administration from quietly flying hundreds of Guatemalan kids out of the country under the pretense of “family reunification.”

We as a country are painfully relearning the lesson the Brits, the French and other Western European countries had to learn in 1939, appeasing fascists not only never works, it only emboldens them.

Reminds me of this quote from Doc Holiday in Tombstone.
"A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it"

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Thank you, Representative Robert Garcia! As the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, he announced plans to open an investigation into both the Trump administration and ABC following the network’s decision (under FCC pressure) to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely.

It's just a reminder that in the regime's view there's no such thing as "one of the good ones." Are you a skilled specialist? Surprise vacation in a cell. Are you going through the proper legal channels? Get snatched right out of the courthouse. Were you actually born here but you're brown? Nope.

I just need to explain for non lawyers: the Trump Regime is indicting a trans lawyer who works on trans issues for a queer org because he is a trans lawyer who works on trans issues for a queer org.
If this works? They won't stop with Charles.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.
OpenAI confirms they're helping make an AI-generated movie called 'Critterz'

Be sure to check your devices (Yes, plural DEVICE(S), because they’ve made it per device not just account), and make sure this setting is OFF!
It’s potentially hiding thousands of videos from you.

Transphobia is a unique sort of bigotry that just absolutely cooks the online brain. Holding it nearly always results in an inability to ever admit you’re wrong about anything and exponentially increases the likelihood of believing in a cascade of ever dumber conspiracies and fascist ideology
