Lawyer: Federal agents detain Guatemalan man, 29, with no criminal record - The New Bedford Light Immigration agents blocked the car that he and his wife were driving in and smashed a window to detain him without presenting a warrant.

The New Bedford Light has more detailed reporting on this.

This story should be everywhere. Fucking gestapo shit.

Our Semi-Authoritarian State Are we a democracy or a dictatorship? No one knows.

"The strategic ambiguity about whether or not we live in an autocracy is designed to preserve maximum maneuverability for the regime until such time as they have full control and no longer need to maneuver."

A brown and white killdeer bird on wavy lines in the sand.

Found this Killdeer in the fading light yesterday. Takes a lot of patience to capture these quick movers with a nice background!

These are amazing!

The egg subs looking lonely.

A surreal afternoon last September along the Salmon River upstream from Riggins, ID. A touch of wildfire smoke accelerates the layering of the distant hills.

Reckless DJI drone pilot to pay $65K for LA wildfire interference A DJI drone pilot will pay a $65,000 fine for crashing his drone into a Super Scooper firefighting aircraft during the Palisades fire in LA.

$65K fine and 150 hours community service should set a strong example of why you shouldn't fly your #drone anywhere near an emergency response.

This old oak door in Port Townsend has seen it all. Deep carved wood and dark brass, standing through time like the old men made it. Bezos talks of one-way & two-way doors, but this one just watches the trade wars and politicians come and go. A damn good door that doesn't care either way.

lol. what?

Can we go back to that time?

Western Meadowlark sitting on top of a green bush. The bird has a yellow chest and neck with a black V. There is a white bar along the side of its head at eye level.

Spotted this Western Meadowlark while wandering around Fort Worden in Port Townsend today.
