every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

In the Harlem Meer. So I guess that answers my question! I'm curious how their dispersal works in such an urban environment but good on them for carving out a niche there

I've seen a lone snapping turtle in the North part of Central Park a few times. I was always curious what its range was, how it arrived in that particular spot, whether it wandered to other parks, and if it would ever meet another snapping turtle.

Today I saw two snapping turtles (I think) mating.

Sometimes there is scientific understanding that I kind of wish I could unknow (not really because understanding is a step in progress but yeah)

We are watching in real-time as an administration and an entire party attempt to cover up the single most notorious child sex trafficking ring in modern history in order to protect their leader being implicated in it

again Swan, because he is not trained in the US interview school of obeisance to power, was able to ask follow-up questions and confront the president with facts.

That’s not why he resigned.

β€œAfter radio host Leeann Tweeden first came forward on Nov. 16 to accuse Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) of groping her in 2006, seven other women have made similar allegations against the Democratic lawmaker.”

It wasn’t just Tweeden. I’m begging people to get it together.

1/ Iryna Danilovych is being tortured in a russian prison.
Her crime? Being a nurse, a journalist, and telling the truth in occupied Crimea.
Now she’s rotting in Colony No. 7, Zelenokumsk. 🧡

Bondi reportedly put 1,000 people in 24-hour shifts for two weeks in March to review the Epstein files. She made them flag mentions of Trump.

And then ...

She decided she couldn't release anything. 😯

🚨NEW: A horror story emerges from hacked flight logs of the March 15 flight to El Salvador: mass disappearances.

It's possible there are DOZENS of additional people the Trump admin sent to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial who are imprisoned there whose names have never been disclosed.

The 4-valent and 9-valent HPV vaccines essentially eliminated HPV 16/18 in Denmark: β€œprevalence of [HPV16/18] in the samples decreased to <β€―1% in 2021 from 15–17% before vaccination

This is amazing. HPV16/18 are the most common high risk subtypes to cause cervical cancer. #meded #oncsky #radonc πŸ§ͺ

Is it really the case that MAGA is falling apart over Epstein?

Honestly I will never understand how this works.

Exactly: THe stories on what didn't get done bc Noem required her personal signature (in additional to call centers, the rescue teams) aren't stating clearly that one reason Noem is doing this is bc she's $1B over budget bc she has blown it all on kidnapping grannies.

Watch every second of this video: what is happening in USA.

Armed ICE agents tried to interrogate kids of color -- all of them U.S. citizens -- who were at baseball practice in NYC.

ICE agents then harass coach but he knew his and the kids' constitutional rights.

Hit-and-Run Driver Kills Two on Third. Ave Corridor Eric Adams Refuses to Make Safer - Streetsblog New York City Mayor Eric Adams shelved a safety redesign of Brooklyn Third Avenue earlier this year amid a backlash from local business interests.

The city has long known Third Avenue to be deadly, and promised to make it safer... until Mayor Adams intervened on behalf of local business interests to put a street safety project on hold.

Since then, there have been 96 reported crashes along the corridor, injuring 80 people. buff.ly/ZNYibbJ
