Good Morning Bluesky!

Clouds hang low in a valley and are tinged gold by the rising sun.

This image shows a stack of six lightning bolts nearly striking the same spot six time in only one minute of elapsed time! Mother nature really had it out for whoever was down there... #photography

A sculpted, layered LP supercell at night. The structure is illuminated by six lightning strikes hitting the ground to the right of the storm. A clear, starry night sky is on the left of the storm. A car's headlights can be seen in the distance.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good”

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Agree with an earlier post that I don't usually promote cairns. They are often disruptive to the environment, especially in streams. But this display on the Falls of Bruar trail in Scotland I gave a pass. #Photography #RockinTuesday #EastCoastKin

Several cairns of small rocks are built upon large flat rocks.

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Dead trees stick out of the sands among driftwood. The low sun causes sharp shadows.

A tree is bent over, coming to a point with the trunk growing up from there. A silly man rubs noses with it

The Flaminian Obelisk was built by Seti I in 1300 BC. It was taken to Rome by Augustus and put in Circus Maximus. It now sits in Piazza del Popolo.
