WATCH: “Fascism is here. We cannot act like this is normal. Shame on you who are silent in this time.” Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social just spoke out about the Trump regime “kidnapping” #KilmarAbregoGarcia and refusing to return him.

This is it. We’ve abandoned Europe and our allies for a Third World tinpot dictator.

ANOTHER ONE! Donald Trump didn’t just deport Albrego Garcia to a foreign torture prison—he deported a Venezuelan teenager who wasn’t even the intended target. His name is Merwil Gutiérrez. He wasn’t in a gang. He wasn’t a threat. And even Trump’s own administration admitted he wasn't the target.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs. russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.

Walking down from Glastonbury Tor this morning about 20 minutes after sunrise. Have a fab new week everyone.

🦑💫This NASA/ESA Hubble image features the spiral galaxy Messier 77, also known as the Squid Galaxy. It would take more than a century between the discovery of the galaxy and the realisation that the ‘spiral nebulae’ scattered across the sky were not part of our own galaxy! #HubbleSpaceTelescope 🔭

Sick of lazy; self-centered ; self-absorbed people.

Whoever did this—buy them a drink. ☠️🤣

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

The ocean is the heart of our life support system, absorbing over 90% of the excess heat from global warming. This is evident in the rise of ocean heat content over time.

“Sanders commented on the large crowd size in front of him, saying “You are scaring the hell out of” Musk and Trump. “Because they know what we know: They are the 1%, and we are the 99%.””

I filed my tax extension because fuck them.

🟥🟧🟨⬜️ Insanely punchy kicks in Phase Plant ☘️ Most of the times a kick will need readjustment once is placed in the context of a track. We usually pick one at the begining of the project and as it moves on, we have to do various adjustments to keep the kick punchy, 1/6 #musicproduction

This is a piece of one of those busily decorated yellow 21st Dynasty coffins, with every bit of it covered in vignettes and protective symbols. It has no provenance, but it is now in the Ashmolean Museum (or at least it was when I photographed it in 2018). 🧵1/6 #Egyptology

Coorte's still still still life, 1696. One spiney shell making quite a statement, though. Today is Coorte's day.

Our 19th century poverty project around Nunnery Lane in York features in this #YorkPress report. @balhnews.bsky.social www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/2508433...

Prohibition started in Colorado in 1916. The Coors family pivoted to ceramics, using the rich clay deposits around Golden. That kept the family business afloat until the end of Prohibition in 1933. Coors Porcelain Company became CoorsTEK, which is still in Golden today.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Exactly this!
