A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius. This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

"At about 15 minutes past the hour every hour all afternoon, teams of agents, many of them masked, left the building escorting four people, each in handcuffs, into parked SUVs that then quickly zipped across the street to the garage of 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has its local field office."

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.

Nobody ever learns, ever. The Washington Post has some of the best reporters in the business, in particular their tech desk, and every single move like this weakens the hard work they do. Utterly stupid, the Business Idiots are out of control

Texas mandates that high schoolers be taught the benefits of free markets. By government mandate. If you don’t see the irony, reread that slowly.

Trump’s Tax Scam is in trouble. Top MAGA minions like Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene are turning against the bill, and Senate Republicans’ changes could force another vote in the House. We need to keep the pressure up to continue exposing the fractures in the fragile MAGA coalition.

When Republicans fire cancer doctors to fund tax breaks for billionaires, we fight back. Health care is our bread & butter. We’re the party of Medicare, the ACA, and cures—not cruelty. You get cancer, you shouldn’t go broke. We’re for cures. They’re for cuts.

Lee Jae-myung: a man stabbed in the neck in January 2024. Seen scaling a fence on Instagram live during an attempted insurrection to join the National Assembly to vote against Yoon’s martial law declaration in December 2024. A true public servant. Now president of South Korea.

You've seen this movie before. 2018: Steel tariffs go up → 1,000 jobs saved in steel (it's a tiny industry) → 75,000 jobs lost elsewhere (steel is used everywhere) Same script. Same cast. Spoiler alert: The ending still sucks.

The White House's stated intent to use expedited removal for this guy's family is flatly ILLEGAL. By law, expedited removal ONLY applies to people not admitted at a port of entry, or here without having been "admitted or paroled" into the US. But his family was admitted at an airport on visas!

Just back from L.A. where our @nc5official.bsky.social team and I accepted our second Peabody Award in two years (my fifth) for our continuing investigation of hate in our communities. It is important work, and I am so thankful for the support of my NC5 family and E.W. Scripps.

This wasn't Russia's Pearl Harbor. That's absurd. But nor was it Ukraine's Doolittle Raid, which was mostly symbolic and did little damage to any strategic targets. This was Ukraine's Taranto Raid, Britain's 1940 surprise attack that effectively sank the core of Italy's Navy in less than an hour.

The idea that this kind of armed presence is necessary in Great Barrington - a quaint Berkshires town of artists, aging hippies, and retired dentists - is insane. These agents are dressed like paramilitaries, not police officers. www.berkshireeagle.com/breaking/ice...
