Intro thread: Long-time reader of intros, 1st-time introducer. I’m an archaeologist that specializes in the pre-colonial period of the Ohio Valley, by preference the so-called “Fort Ancient”. I don’t get to focus on that much; luckily have #ADHD & can focus on anything I have a reason to. 1/17
It's technically changing the implementing regulations for the CWA. The distinction's critical as there is a required process to seek public comment, respond to comments, and publish. That gives opportunities for resistance. They don't have the votes to change law. Tie the proposed regs up in court.
The Trump admin is trying to block tribes from regulating pollution on their land! Under U.S. environmental law, Indigenous nations can set their own standards for clean water and clean air on their land with federal approval. Tribal environmental standards are often more...

The "...and Stephen" is doing a lot of work in that attempt to hide, and of course it Miller who is gleefully spurring disaster by untrained thugs. Miller is following a pre-tried playbook. He is about the only consistent, and purely, purposefully evil voice for this type of dehumanizing campaign.
"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Glad people r paying attention to unjustified uses of force by ICE/CBP after 2 blatant murders of white people in Minneapolis. The thing is, these r a minority of the cases of violence,& even minority of the deaths. Even running from law enforcement shouldn't be death sentence. Expand your empathy.
How ICE and Border Patrol Keep Injuring and Killing People
After shooting people, federal agents repeatedly failed to provide first aid, and officials spun narratives disproven by video.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

Being "armed with a gun" & coexisting on a public street with ICE is apparently a death sentence (w/o trial). Where are the NRA & USCCA on this clear 2A case? ICE initiated the physical altercation, escalated it, & then executed him because being beaten and pepper-sprayed didn't pacify him. #murder
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Current situation and plans for the next few hours. Have a fire going, and will probably take a hike later. Then I need to write and do spatial analyses. #books #nativeamericanhistory #coffee #winter #snow

A bit of a niche request, but I'm hoping someone might have some ideas:
I'm a moderator of a large Facebook group. There are folks in the group who are interested in immigrating to Canada.
Are there Canadian immigration lawyers or firms willing to do a short online webinar/Q&A on the process?

A small dusk hike exploring the property. Tranquil setting and lovely #sunset. Again, didn't start tracking until turned around, so double distance total.

Passing a strange milestone today. Few months ago, noticed I was over 1,800 days of headaches, so calculated my 2000th day, set calendar event & forgot about it. Last night, during dinner at Wyandotte Gathering, my phone sends me a notification to not forget my upcoming 2000th headache day. #NDPH
