NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Ok but when people say a new generation it’s usually because it also means new ideas and not the ideas of Bill Clinton in 1994

Daily bunny no.3108 will grow into a beautiful butterfly

A very small bunny munches on a leaf, like a bug or caterpillar. The leaf is the same size as the bunny, and the bunny is beneath a flower in someone's yard or garden. It is a warm autumn day

I cannot believe people were losing their jobs for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk and the president of the united states just went on tv and said "skill issue loser, RIP but I'm different"

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

the position of the administration it seems is that it is illegal discrimination and divisive racism for historically excluded groups to organize on that basis to improve their position. it’s basically just a genteel version of david duke’s complaint that there wasn’t a NAACP for white people

Victor Ray @victorerikray.bsky.social · 1d

I know it is beside the point because this administration simply wants resegregation but conferences for Black professional associations have always been open to everyone. Typically, the started as a response to white exclusion, and did not replicate that.

Benjamin McKean @blmckean.bsky.social · 1d

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #BirdInABush, here's a mallard who built her nest and hatched her eggs in a bush at the local garden center. She was well hidden if you didn't know where to look. #Birds #Photography

And because I am always compelled to steady those hands - Ed is either another spirit, and Stede is doing relationship counseling for the dead while also trying to deal with his own issues because fancying one ghost is okay but two is indicative of a problem -

Listening to a podcast where a woman said that her spirit guides were an Indian girl and an Egyptian man which had me wondering 'why is no
ones spirit guide from like Wigan?'

So now I'd like you all to envision - Stede Bonnet, celebrity medium ✨
