People should be required to experience ICE's illegal brutalities before being able to claim that they support ICE and their methods.
Dang. We've got storms coming our way. Fav song of ours...

Two wading birds silhouetted by the light and reflected in the water's surface.
The theme for today's #BirdOfTheDay is #StandingInWater.
Gone for a bit of an arty one today. Two waders which I think are probably redshanks; bills a bit short for godwits.

THREAD: Iβm going to share this thread here to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, for all those who frequently ask me about it, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share it frequently if you think it will help. π§΅#EVS
Went for a very windy walk in the land trust preserve. (Sorry about the wind noise)

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.
But Iβve moved on to prosecute ICE yβall. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.
Earlier this week, Idaho became the latest state to push back against the U.S. Department of Justiceβs campaign to seize the private voter data of every state. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/eve...
It sucks the president is a pedophile who is trying to destroy the constitution, but itβs honestly funny his supporters think thatβll Make America Great Again.
When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.π½
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...donβt trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesnβt bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesnβt create jobs
Folks, weβve seen this all before.
WAR is NOT the answer!!

Louisville and Lexington players paused the USL Championship season opener for 60 seconds after kickoff, letting the clock run without play. A fearless show of unity from the USL Players Association as negotiations reach a critical stage. Itβs time for the league to act. #StandUpForStandards

CANADA π¨π¦ FOR THE WIN
After a dominant first half of the game Canada holds on for a 9-8 thrilling victory over Italy.
Full marks to the Italians who fought back in front of a boisterous home crowd. Canada 1-0 to begin the Paralympics.
The Federal Liberals are working hard to strengthen Canada's food supply chain.
If you know a farmer that grows plant based food or a related company that uses plant ingredients send them this.
The Feds will help them.

Trump to Latin American leaders: "I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time."
A lot of us have been saying the people in the Trump administration act like this war is a video game.
The White House troll account confirmed it. π
Once again weβre asking βWhy do they hate us?β And the answer is the same: Itβs not because of our freedom, itβs because of what we do to them.

What happened to Rachel this week is terrible.
Those of us who are on these beats might want to start communicating about how we can stand up and look out for each other.
I can't really think of easy answers but it is an important conversation that Rachel is kicking off here.
Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I donβt know how this could happen.
Screenshot of an article from CBC News. The headline reads: In Tokyo, Carney signs agreement with Japanese counterpart to expand trade and defence ties.
Weβre working with close partners to create greater security, stability, and prosperity.
A corollary to this, it would be a legitimate use of force, not terrorism, for Iranian regular forces to strike a US Navy base (including Newport), or the Pentagon.
