Amazing story of a moth once thought extinct being recorded in the wild after 150 years!

This story shows the power of platforms like #inaturalist and the value of a #bioblitz, with this moth recorded during the Great Southern BioBlitz 2021 @gsbioblitz.bsky.social

Canโ€™t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Scott Bessent said Albertans want to become an American state

I don't think they would give up their Universal Healthcare for the system America has

They also have a higher minimum wage than the US, more than double the US.

And Reichsleiter Miller, the rest of his henchmen, & all the Gestapo goons (=ICE & Border Patrol) must be made to answer for their crimes against the American people & the United States, and if convicted, punished to the maximum limit

And keep Merrick Garland far, far away from the entire process

I wonder how many incidents like this have gone unreported? Great reporting here. But the way ICE is operating is shameful beyond belief.

If weโ€™re keeping score, the actual danger isnโ€™t who ICE claims to protect us from, itโ€™s the people enforcing their policies. The statistics speak for themselves.

The same people who said the government was tyrannical for requiring proof of a COVID vaccine are awfully quiet about American citizens being told to carry their papers.

Gerald drops one of the wildest comparisons in this episode.
Supercomputers pull 10โ€“40 megawatts of power. A quantum computer? 35 kilowatts. Thatโ€™s the difference between powering 50,000 homes a yearโ€ฆ and 9 kettles.

How will Trumpโ€™s attacks affect higher education?

Letโ€™s look to history

Germany's universities were the world's premier research institutions

Hitler destroyed them

How long did they take to recover?

They havenโ€™t

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Thereโ€™s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldnโ€™t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like โ€œmRNAโ€ and โ€œriboflavinโ€ and โ€œwalkable citiesโ€ decided to make their ignorance everybody elseโ€™s problem

I donโ€™t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make whatโ€™s happening now look like childโ€™s play. And people are disappearing.

Think about how insane this is. I know we normalize every abnormal thing Trump does, & he floods the zone & numbs us, but a leading media organizing rolling over & agreeing to pay $16m to the president because he didnโ€™t like how they edited an interview?? What country is this?

When was the last time we wondered about who puts things on shelves?

Today, those invisible ones are seen only to be criminalized for fleeing poverty and oppression.

Are they really stealing a glamorous life from us?

Pass it on if you stand with those who work in the shadows.

Trump commutes sentence of Miami healthcare exec convicted of Medicare fraud He and his girlfriend pocketed more than $87 million in the scheme.

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what โ€œfraud and abuseโ€ actually looks like.

Seeing completely unqualified people rise to the top of U.S. health agencies is a deep insult to the doctors who have dedicated their lives to improving public health. It also reflects a failure of our institutions to effectively communicate the importance of evidence-based care.
