People kidnapped by ICE. Some of them probably also have pets at home who need them.

Everyone must stay engaged, bad intention politicians are counting on Americans ‘tuning-out’ from the bad news, they rely on the ‘news cycle’, that no matter how bad the news about what they do, people will just move on… Folks, we can’t do that, when we do, we play right into their deceitful hands!

For any Yukon River wilderness goers. You can hike back to Eagle from the mouth of the Nation River pulling your canoe in eight 10-hour days in a pinch. You have to cross over five times to bypass cliffs. Most people don't know it can be done. Hard as hell but a possible option if you have time.

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

The reality. Logging increases forest fires and climate change. False reality. We need to reduce forest fires by cutting most of the forests.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

A canoe. A pack. A bag of lentils. Three dogs. And a wilderness, a true wilderness. And I'm set for the summer. Out on my own.

If it ain't wilderness I easily lose interest.

I'll be heading out to the wilderness again. Real wilderness where I have to hike 2 weeks just to get back to a tiny village at the end of the road system. Real weight losing stuff. I'll post videos at end of summer. www.amazon.com/Yellow-Wolf-...

The Mansfield ISD salutatorian used her platform and time wisely. She gave a terrific speech calling out book bans and vouchers. Bravo!

Humans have utter fear of human voices. Our chattering hasty tone perhaps. Maybe it's innate in animals evolved into them over time. english.elpais.com/science-tech...
