Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Another insane move from the Trump regime.

One of NCAR's contributions to climate science is the development of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), which is used by researchers worldwide. Here's a simulation of air-sea COβ‚‚ fluxes from CESM.

Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.

This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.

Trump is cutting funding that helps end homelessness.

And now, over 170,000 people are at risk of being pushed out of homes and back onto the streets.

We’re in a housing crisis.

The solution isn’t kicking people out of their homes – it’s building more housing.

Newly released Epstein emails confirm this story.

Epstein was advising Russia on how to handle Donald Trump.

I bet they are. 1 in 5 children live with food insecurity in the US and I suspect that number will be much higher due to everything going on. If they don't do the counts, they absolutely will act like that means there's no more food insecurity.

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement.
The President does not run the Smithsonian.
The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law.
Release the Epstein files.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The GOP just bragged about the booming U.S. auto industry… using a Soviet-made Lada. A $4K Russian junker from the Cold War.

You literally cannot make this up.

Here’s the car. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί.
