Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

BARITROMO: “But how was he threatening Border Patrol? He had his camera, right?”

Even Fox hosts aren’t buying the Orwellian lies 🤥

(H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Why isn’t #Minnesota #Minneapolis #ICE #AlexPretti or anything else about the murder in my state “trending” on BlueSky right now?

humanity:

what tf are you doing right now?

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c

1. continuing, not 1 off.
2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it
3. literally at hand of federal government, which is
4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

William Blake's Newton (1795), colour print with pen & ink and watercolour. Blake's picture of Newton as a divine geometer was one of a series he created while living in Lambeth in the late 1790s. Blake's printing appears to have been a form of self-developed monoprint which he then finished with additions in pen and ink coupled with watercolour washes. The image depicts Sir Isaac Newton as a muscular, heroic nude figure crouched on what appears to be a rocky outcrop or ledge at the bottom of an underwater or subterranean world. Newton is shown in profile, bent over in intense concentration as he uses a compass to draw geometric diagrams on a scroll or parchment that unfurls before him. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Newton-WilliamBlake.jpg

"Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn ... then it shows how by these operations problems may be solved."

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687)

Artistic Rendering of the Library of Alexandria, based on some archaeological evidence. The scene shows a grand interior space with impressive classical Egyptian-influenced architecture. A massive column dominates the center of the composition, featuring what appears to be a Hathor capital (a column top with the face of the goddess Hathor), characteristic of ancient Egyptian temple architecture. Several figures dressed in classical robes and togas are shown engaged in scholarly activities: In the foreground left, two or three figures are seated around a table, appearing to read or discuss texts together; In the center-right, a standing figure in robes appears to be studying or reading while standing near shelving; Another figure is seated on steps or a platform in the middle distance; A figure in the lower right foreground is bent over, possibly organizing or retrieving materials from lower storage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_libraries#/media/File:Ancientlibraryalex.jpg

A bowhead whale's DNA offers clues to fight cancer Scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer think they may have uncovered a promising new lead in the DNA of the bowhead whale.

Good morning! Science time!

Bowhead whales make huge amounts of a DNA-repair protein that seems to stop damaged cells from turning pre-cancerous. The AK Iñupiaq community helped researchers determine that Bowheads can live 200yrs without cancer. This may help find new cancer treatments in humans.

"[...]researchers say using AI, in combination with the fundamental physics of how the Earth's crust moves and responds to stress, could transform the ability to monitor, understand and even forecast volcanic activity.

This could help keep people in seismically active parts of the world safe."
