Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

Diplomats meeting at the open window.

On the left is a Siamese mix sitting on her haunches while on the right is a fluffy gray tabby. They’re sort of looking the camera. Each is at an end of an open window.

For Indigenous People’s Day, I’d like to infodump about the Cahokia mound. Built near present day St. Louis around 1000 CE, it was a vast trade hub with a population of about 20,000. This made it the largest city north of Mexico on the continent, bigger than London and Paris at the time!

The Cahokia mound, located outside modern day St. Louis, Missouri. It is a large hill which is now covered in grass, under a clear blue sky.

Who remembers Epstein had a “first” suicide attempt in jail?

Totally deep-sixed. Any credible story should at least refer to it. It stinks. My jorno profession is failing:

Video Outside Cell During Jeffrey Epstein's First Suicide Attempt 'No Longer Exists'

www.npr.org/2020/01/09/7...

Video Outside Cell During Jeffrey Epstein's First Suicide Attempt 'No Longer Exists'

After first reporting that the video had been preserved, prosecutors now say that further investigation shows officials "inadvertently preserved video from the wrong tier" within the Manhattan prison.

Gizmo has become quite the loaf expert! He’s having an absolute ball with his auntie Lyon while the staff do the same in Las Vegas celebrating Dadmin’s 50th! 🥳🥳🧡🧡🦁🦁 #kittyloafmonday #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is in the loaf position (lying with his head up and front paws tucked out of sight) looking to the right of the picture on a grey/silver/white rug. We are up close with his head and the daylight gives his fur a lovely shine from the soft orange fur on his head with dark orange tabby stripes to the snow white fur that cascades down his chest. This close we can also see what looks like white eye liner around his right eye which is cut in half by a stripe of orange colouring. Gizmo’s famous large pointy ears can also be seen in great detail with their light fur lining and orange tips at the top.

The Atlantic is the latest news organization that refuses to sign the Pentagon's new press pass policy.

Editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg says the new restrictions violate the First Amendment and the rights of Americans to know how the taxpayer-funded military is being deployed.

Ah yes, air traffic controllers must show up for work without pay, but Congress can take the day off. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he’ll be making “necessary cuts” to the department, because nothing fixes staffing shortages quite like firing more people.

A fluffy white and brown snowshoe cat with a dark nose patch stands looking over his shoulder up at the camera with a surprised look on his face. He has just been caught looking into the kitchen cabinets. The white door to one of the cabinets is slightly open revealing various food items.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2
