Enjoy our weather! Wish I could join but I'm glad your borbs have landed here for the festival!

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.”

Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Agreed. I am there to maintain long distance personal connections mostly and since I can at least keep IG to what I want to see I'm not on there much.

You can limit your Instagram feed to only people you follow by removing "suggested posts in feed" but you have to renew it regularly. I'm sure if even people use it though they'll take it away. 🙄

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

Senate Democrats must block the bill providing additional funding for ICE. ICE already received a massive enforcement windfall in the Big Ugly Bill. In light of ongoing abuses and lack of accountability, Congress should not be writing yet another blank check.

Justice for Alex Pretti.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I just got an awesome response and explanation and the rules have already changed. They initially put the rules about labeling and not for sale to discourage any attempts and have never had any AI submissions because of it but agreed they need to clearly say no. All in all 100% why I love Comic Con.

Emailed. Grrr. I expect better.

Thanks for the share! I miss those weekly weather briefings.

A Level 3 out of 4, moderate risk, for excessive rainfall is in place across southern California including Sant Barbara, to Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Santa Clarita.

An unusually strong storm system will bring widespread rain to southern California through Sunday. The period of most concern is tonight through Saturday night when a large area of heavy rain and isolated but potentially severe thunderstorms will bring a moderate risk of...

Yes the weather aspects of NOAA are still up and running even though they aren't getting paid. Forecasts will be at weather.gov still. They had to get help from retired forecasters for hurricane Melissa but they are getting it done.

I also wish people talked more about how huge it was that young people could stay on their parents insurance until 26. Before that your kids lost insurance at 18 unless you happened to work somewhere that let you cover them while at university. The month I graduated I was uninsured at 21.

Motherfucking wind farms…

From 1980-2002 THREE storms acheived extreme rapid intensification.
From 2003-2025 EIGHTEEN storms achieved extreme rapid intensification.
6X increase!
It’s not coincidence, it’s climate change!

As the federal government shutdown disrupts critical food benefits, food banks across the state are available to assist Californians in need.

Dial 2-1-1 to speak with someone about services available in your area, or find a local food bank near you at cafoodbanks.org/our-members.

Governor Newsom announces the return of 17,030 acres of ancestral land to the Tule River Indian Tribe and the reintroduction of tule elk to the area.

Governor Newsom announces the return of 17,030 acres of ancestral land to the Tule River Indian Tribe and the reintroduction of tule elk to the area.

As part of today's historic return of ancestral land in the Sierra Nevada foothills and Central Valley back to the Tule River Tribe, the Department of Fish and Wildlife is helping reintroduce tule elk to the area.

It's a critical step in restoring balance to the lands and waters of their ancestors.

Volunteers Step In to Help Understaffed NOAA Track Hurricane Melissa

NOAA’s hurricane research division staff has been cut from 52 in 2020 to 28 in 2025, almost a 50% cut. They’ve resorted to using volunteers to man the critical radar and dropsonde stations on Hurricane Hunter flights. Senseless cuts in an era of climate change making the strongest storms stronger.

2,500 pantries supported across the state
$80M in state funds fast-tracked for distribution
390 @calvolunteers.bsky.social — with hundreds more waiting in the wings
And National Guard men and women deployed, proud to be the good guys

We will not just let Californians in need go hungry.

Official graphic depicting potential rainfall from Melissa in the Carribbean from the National Hurricane Center. Over 30-40 inches may locally fall in the mountains of Jamaica. Note that additional rainfall may fall, beyond indicated here, outside of the 4 day window mentioned.

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.
