If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The Smolenski Prairie Restoration (Slideshow)
The Smolenski Prairie Restoration (Slideshow) YouTube video by JBtheExplorer

I finally put together this six minute slideshow featuring the Smolenski park prairie restoration and the plants and animals in it. Six years ago it was a weedy unused farm field, now it's habitat!

Alex Pretti Add his name to Renee Good's.

We have to keep the pressure up on Trump now that he’s backing down. That’s our role in keeping this democracy. Here’s the information you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Do we separate them at birth because the mother is brown and isn’t carrying her ID and we don’t really care anyway because those papers aren’t real get in van?

Isn’t he an assassin?

Tree mostly obscuring the view of a bunch of college kids in the snowy street, ready to help motorists, in Columbus Ohio

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.

But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

Climate vs Weather | Global Weirding
Climate vs Weather | Global Weirding YouTube video by Global Weirding with Katharine Hayhoe

It's cold outside and snowy, too! Is climate change a hoax?

Not at all. Winter still brings cold weather even as the planet warms.

In fact, warmer oceans + a rapidly warming Arctic can even increase the intensity of winter storms and heavy snowfall.

That's why I call it Global Weirding!

Why Minnesota Can't Do More to Stop ICE Democratic lawmakers have few options that wouldn't trigger something like civil war.

Minnesota lawmakers have pleaded with the Trump administration to withdraw ICE agents from the state.

But why can’t they do more?

The answer is deeply unsatisfying, troubling, and well worth understanding at this critical moment for our country’s future:

Read Bondi’s Letter to Minnesota’s Governor Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota on Saturday that blamed him and other Democratic officials for allowing β€œlawlessness” in the state. It was not immediately clear ...

Now AG Pam Bondi is using ICE as leverage to extort MN Gov Tim Walz. This is Trump’s tried and true formula: inflict pain and then demand payment to make it stop.

this is good, but you need to tell us what you are actually doing to stop this

Dems are playing like this admin/gop aren't burning everything down in real time

there is no "vote blue in the mid-terms" because the fascist already has armed troops in the street killing people

The Problem With Greg Bovino’s Overcoat Isn’t What You Think The head of Border Patrol isn’t referencing the Nazis β€” but he is sending a message.

This can have consequences for how agents see themselves. If they put on clothes designed for war, they are more likely to see cities as hostile terrain and citizens as enemy combatants, which can increase the chance of violence. Link to the story here:

This is apparently on X. I have a few concerns: 1) why is DHS sending photos of (alleged) evidence that should be in a secure chain of custody that is now lying on a car seat??? and 2) being armed does not on its own justify the use of deadly force β€” there has to be evidence he was trying to use it
