This is good news, for now. But I have no faith the Trump administration will stop pursuing its depraved plans to disappear these kids at the earliest opportunity. I will be fighting Trump every step of the way.
possibly. But I felt seen at least.
So Cool!
I pretended it was a gesture of joy at meeting a fellow nonhuman ally.

Timely. A culture of fear is a Trump administration policy.
Proudly screwing up our artistic and literary culture, and adding to the general social toxicity and environmental tragedy of the new AI.

That really is an excellent little film of a mantis living its life.
very different from his other fiction
does she eat flies? Does she want to go outside? I'd love to have one who hung out that much.
I think that particular mantis looks a little stoned.

And who is this Bartlett imbecile?
Did that appear in NY TImes?!
JFK feeling the same way about RFK Jr as the rest of us.
After Donald Trump nominated RFK Jr to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services, 75 Nobel Laureates and more than 17,000 doctors publicly urged the U.S. Senate to oppose Kennedy's confirmation. EVERY REPUBLICAN U.S. SENATOR EXCEPT FOR MITCH MCCONNELL ignored all the warnings and confirmed him.
Quite similar take to @gideonrachman.bsky.social in @financialtimes.com on.ft.com/4meoKlr Trump’s fawning cabinet and the threat to US democracy

Met this beautiful mantis today. A living testament to the exquisite creativity of the natural world. It let me get close, and the two of us observed one another. It was another aspect of the universe that had a spark of consciousness, and that spark of consciousness was looking at me.

Yes and then we'll see if the troops sent in by POTUS have any conscience or awareness of military law.
They are making quite other claims. Of course music is soothing, and may help you sleep since it soothes you. Quite believable. But they're claiming it will cure what ails you medically.
Yeah. Just so bogus.
Of course I love the idea of prosecuting ICE agents. What will happen when he tries it is the feds will take it to higher courts, eventually to SCOTUS--and I suspect all this federal extremism is *intended* by Trump to go to SCOTUS where Roberts and his crew can overturn any controls on POTUS.
Sound baths? What new quackery is this? The way the article is written--and the article includes a link to get a sound bath--it seems like it was paid for, behind the scenes. The claim that there's solid research behind this and that physicians use tuning forks--baloney.
Is that the newest rna vaccine?

Why save children from drowning? How does that program make money for billionaires? Perhaps RFKjr thinks drowning is a tool of his eugenics.

Idiocracy.
executive order doesn't make law.
From Wall Street Journal: "Trump Turns to Small Group of Advisers, Shrinks National Security Council "NSC’s role in overseeing national security decisions has been curtailed" WHY? You note this happened after the private meeting with Putin in Alaska. The one that led him to fire a Russia expert.

Am I misunderstanding? It sounds like they're saying no one can get the new covid vaccines unless they have these certain serious conditions. It's like they don't know there were 1,226,351 confirmed deaths from covid & many others who are sick with long covid). Most did not have these conditions.
I just like that photo, really. It's a recent one of a real dust storm over a town in AZ.
