How can anyone support giving ICE more power after seeing any information at all about what they do with it?
7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds.

I can't stand cop shows anymore.
When my abolition was theoretical, factual, intellectual, it was easy to say consuming copaganda was an exercise.
Now, in the devastating aftermath of police violence, it's like watching the foundation death is built on win countless Emmys. Feels sick.

More LGBTQ+ people are quietly planning to flee America as fears of fascism in Trump’s second term rise
The instinct to flee is not new in American life. But the scale, and the kinds of people considering it in the Trump era, reflect something different.

I was quite confident on my knowledge of marine biodiversity in my area (I have a PhD in marine biology after all).
But today I learn about Paromola cuvieri, one of the largest crab species of the Northeast Atlantic, that uses its last pair of legs to carry live specimens of sponges and corals 🦑 🌊

Have you seen that video yet (where Elon Musk took his kid to some event and then left him unattended walking down some stairs like he forgot he had a kid)???

"You shouldn't be allowed to talk if you can't believe your eyes." - Josh Johnson on Musk's Nazi salute and also presumably this
Steve Bannon whipped up the CPAC crowd by talking about the possibility of Trump staying in office for a third term—and concluded his speech by giving a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month.
