- Moulton: This is state-sponsored terror. This is what you would expect to see in North Korea or Iran or the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to crack down on the government before they crack down on the American people.

- Judge rules members of Congress can inspect all ICE detention centers without appointment. "...DHS Sec. Kristi Noem re-implemented a notice requirement…..[which] required 7-days’ warning for visits to [ICE] facilities... funded exclusively by the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’..." thehill.com/regulation/c...
- That's a type of spider crab that's called a decorator, or masking crab. These crabs have spiky carapaces and they pull stuff like algae or anemones off a rock then hold them on their backs until it sticks there. I'd see them on top of reefs where they tried to crouch lower when I swam by.
- One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals. When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

- I'm probably going to be laying awake in bed in a few hours stressing about this job interview and that appointment I have at the doctors that're both in a day and a half. Like, oof.
- BREAKING: Ford employee, TJ Sabula, Who Called Trump A 'Pedophile Protector' is No Longer Suspended from work. In the meantime, people raised over $800,000 in a GoFundMe for him. LESSON: Standing up to Trump is a WIN!

- one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

- They don’t give a damn about the constitution or laws unless they can be used to support their actions. The people have to defend them. Just pointing at what it says doesn’t do it. As they accomplish more control the constitution will be torn up and the people won’t have any say.
- Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen. #FundHealthcareOverICE

- Factory Butte rises over 1,000 feet above the remote desert near Hanksville, Utah. Made of Mancos Shale, its gray, finely layered slopes create dramatic textures. With its flat top and steep sides, the isolated butte resembles an old industrial building—hence the name “Factory. #utah #photography

- At the doctor's office for a 7am annual physical. Nothing in particular to be concerned about, trying to do the right thing. Very happy to have gotten a 7am appointment after fasting for the physical rather than a later one that is for sure.
- Democracy dies in oligarchness

- #ShowMeYourKnits theme this week is gray. My favourite grays are weird neutrals that I can wear around bright colours. This gray yarn from @indigodragonfly.bsky.social has interesting blue and yellow undertones. It kept the knitting interesting!

- Gun rights are sacred if we’re in the aftermath of yet another avoidable school shooting but grounds for summary street executions if you possess one in the District of Columbia. I don’t understand why anyone is confused.
- Her/His mate is there for back up as well @rspb.bsky.social
- The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.
- I just keep thinking: These are not just files. These were children. They harmed and raped and abused and tortured children in the worst ways imaginable, more than we know. They were children.

- The American people largely have faith in our elections. What we don't have any faith in is the honesty or integrity of the Republican Party. None of them can be trusted.
