“Attacks on ICE agents are up 1,000%” Tony Gonzales (TX-R)

Bullsh*t

HOW do we know there is any increase (of any %) when their “data” is not presented with a “baseline” of assaults?

ICE began 2003
ICE is safer than Policing
If ICE assaults are☝️
What qualifies as “assault”?
🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?

ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social]

As a boy, Rex Mann listened to his father describe the American chestnut as kin.

By the time Mann was born, most chestnuts were already dead. At the time of his death, the tree he loved is not yet back. But thanks to him, it is no longer forgotten.

Illustration of the Dark green fritillary butterfly, Argynnis aglaja. It's cut to white and shows the butterfly facing right, with wings folded, showing the underwings. These are spotted with silver and green, although the background colour is beige. This green explains the butterfly's name. The body is brownish with yellow and green compound eyes and brown antennae tipped with orange. You can just see a suggestion of the butterfly's long tongue, curled up. This #naturalscienceillustration was competed for a china ware company along with 5 other #naturalhistory illustrations of #entomology subjects, and will feature on 6 or 7 designs of homeware.

This is my #sciart #illustration of a #Darkgreenfritillary #butterfly #Argynnis (or #Speyeria) aglaja.

They have orange upper wings, the green is only on the underside (with by silvery spots)

The food plant is pansies & violets. They're strong fliers, so can be hard to see clearly unless at rest.

"Whether this or that apparatchik is personally racist is wholly irrelevant: the admin and its allies are actively and intentionally handing over political power to racists so they can enact racist policy. What is shocking is how transparent this all is, and how little anyone seems to care."
