Today I was taking some yard waste down to the compost pile and I encountered this cute fawn doing its best to remain perfectly still. I like that it can fit through the fence but none of its predators can. Today it was able to relax safely in the shade. Its only disturbance was this clumsy oaf dragging his yard waste through the woods. I kept an eye on it from our deck. I hope momma recognizes the safety of our yard and returns her baby tomorrow.

A lot of confusion about this: ICE ("Immigration and Customs Enforcement" and CBP ("Customs and Border Protection") are two different agencies. Both are under DHS, both are tasked with immigration and customs missions, and both do field enforcement.

Both agencies are involved in the current crackdown and detentions, but they aren't the same, and confusion between them often means it's hard to know what happened or who to contact when someone has been arrested in a raid or sweep.

Why do rocks move across Death Valley? It took 99 years to solve the mystery, but now scientists figured it out.

Great program from the awesome Physics Girl:

"While 'Neighbors,' an app for #Amazon Ring doorbell users, usually helps people find lost pets or packages, last week saw a dramatic shift: shocked by #ICE operations in and around #LosAngeles, residents began using the Amazon-owned platform to warn their communities about immigration agents conducting searches and arrests."

Now THAT'S fuckin funny, using the fascists' own apps against them.

Like I said, LA resisters are even funnier and cooler than glitter bombs.

Dear Fedi friends, may I ask you a favor?

I would really appreciate it if you could boost this message. I have created a French version of my Fedi promo video - and a French landing page – that I hope can spread far and wide in the Francophone world:

All it took was six years of care-taking, lessons learned, and more than a little luck (or possibly divine favor), but this year I have peaches! Or maybe the peach trees are saying, "Hey, this year has been rough - here's something sweet to help you through for a bit." Either way, I'm grateful.

Just as there is the distinct KT boundary in geologic history, I would like to see a study on the similar abrupt delineation between when we were all paying for ringtones and when we became uncontrollably irritated whenever anyone left their phone's volume on.

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Trump regime to release Pro-Palestinian pro-justice activist Mahmoud Khalil. Plain clothes ICE fascists arrested Khalil without a warrant, charge, or any due process. He has been in the custody of immigration agents since March 8 and missed the birth of his son.

The Trump regime wanted another 7 days to build the case against Khalil. The Judge denied that request.

Khalil is ordered to be released TODAY. A victory for free speech, justice, & the US Constitution✊🏽

Other than doing a couple of glitterbombs on cops years back, I've been known to utilize other out of the box ideas to try to stop fashies from doing their fashie shit. I've used Vaseline on solid smooth surfaces & covered with some dirt. Then watched some RCMP goons slip & fall on those spots that I set up. I've used reflective emergency blankets with high beam flashlights & spotlights to screw up RCMP night vision glasses - giving them headaches, eye pain & forcing them to retreat.
There's many of out of the box things you can do that isn't super high risk & is still effective in stopping or delaying armed fashies/cops.
Sabotage like that is very doable & it doesn't take too long to rig up. Get creative with your direct action activism 👍

If your country's police force dresses like this, you may live in a military dictatorship.

Oh the humanity…

I wrote another detailed update but someone is VERY glad to be home (and pretty high on painkillers). The next 24 hours of monitoring are going to be important. He's got a blanket fort and we're just now settling in.

This regal AF Norwegian goat wishes you a happy Midsommar 🌞
