Thanks for the art share with this lovely theme ! Here are some of my paper flowers.
This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.
I have obtained new data showing that ICE has diverted at least **25,000 officers** into its mass deportation efforts, including at least 14,498 federal law enforcement officers. This is the lower-bound b/c many Border Patrol agents are independently engaged in interior arrests
It gets even worse somehow This is insane www.hcn.org/articles/fir...
That sounds good!
How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social
Reader, I choked up
I don't know much about owls, Wendy, but I do think this crew has accepted you as one of their own. I'm grateful you shared this. It's joyful.
I will probably never have an experience like this again in my lifetime, so I will always treasure my summer with this family of burrowing owls. 💕🪶
I'm going to fertilize today as well. 🤞🏼 for both our gardens
A benefit of cleaning up the overgrown tithonia in the vegetable bed is finding my collards. 😂 Poor things.
High 90's again this weekend, but I'm trying my best to get spent and overgrown plants under control. Began setting seeds for fall/winter. Considering setting a last round of zinnias. 🤔 Have a great day!

Adorable
the touch of autumn sun
That is cool
Yes, and I thought I replied but now see I did not! 😬 They are so pretty when they are full like that. All of my zinnias are a bit desiccated at the moment. Been rather hot and dry here.
Zinnias! 🌱🧡🌱🧡🌱🧡🌱 #SoCal #FlowerReport #LaborDayWeekend #Bloomscrolling

#FlowersonFriday time for the heleniums to bloom. Other name, Sneezeweed because they used to make snuff from its dried leaves. Have a good day. Avoid the showers if you can.

Last year I grew two lovely little charentais melons. The morning I went out to pick them I discovered the fruit rats had gotten to them first. 😭

A very cool looking dragonfly that I spotted on the cosmos yesterday, of course I couldn’t get a better view without stepping on things I’d rather not. #Dragonfly #insects #nature
Wow, that's cool. Thanks for sharing it, Anna.
I can’t even believe I got this photo. I wasn’t supposed to chase that day. I ran out to the edge of the desert at the last minute. I happened across this scene, but this cell wasn’t producing much lightning. Still, I set up the cameras & waited. Finally, it let loose this beastly double bolt. #azwx

A federal grand jury has declined to indict another person arrested as part of President Trump's D.C. crime surge. This was the only case we know of in which the National Guard participated in an arrest. After the grand jury declined to return an indictment, DOJ moved to dismiss the case.
Wow. Such a beautiful photo, Marg.
She silently arrived with a dusting of Summers dew!
🪶 It's been a little bit since I posted a hummingbird from #CostaRica, so here's a brown violet-ear. Not as flashy and colorful as some, but I like 'em anyway. #FeatheredFriday #Flyday #birds #photography

Fun! This brings back memories of taking my son to the Jorvik museum roughly 20 years ago. We were there during the Viking Festival in February. He had a blast. Summer camp sounds very fun.

Back in 2012, some of my legal aid colleagues and I created a "Dear Social Worker" template letter as one tool to tackle the inappropriate and often coercive referrals of DV survivors to get a TRO or else their children would be removed. We cited their own internal procedure guide back to them.
Look at these three little goobers! So adorable! 🪶

Ahem I AM A MELON FARMER, I HARVESTED MY FIRST MELON!!! It’s a Korean Melon and I was eager to see it succeed because I love them but don’t get them often. I was nervous to harvest but all the signs are right: bright yellow, fragrant blossom end 🌱

Back in 2020, YouTube suspended OAN's channel, demonetized it, and noted it was not an "authoritative" source. Now, five years later, the Google-owned platform has inked a deal to put the MAGA propaganda network in millions of living rooms. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/youtube-oa...

Very nice
Dahlias are picking up now that the garden isn't en fuego 🌱
Sorry your day was a rough one, my friend. Sending a butterfly.
If you want to hear directly from the candidates running in difficult special elections, listen to Joe's show. He gives time of day to folks who get ignored by most outlets. "State of the States" is like an early detection system for compelling races.
Omg, he was watching me from the roof!
It's only a matter of time before you'll need car seats for the owlets.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
