I went on an adventure. West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the early morning. Then back to West Yellowstone and breakfast at the Buffalo Bar.

Congress can be FULL of Social Security champions, like JoAnna Mendoza, who want to protect your earned benefits from cuts, privatization, and means-testing. Make sure you vote in November! @joannamendoza.com

President Trump does not have the power to unilaterally change Title IX. LGBTQ students continue to be protected from discrimination under federal civil rights law. With the administration's continued cruel anti-trans actions, schools must not waver in their commitment to protecting queer students.

Trump's Title IX Announcement Is Cruel. But It Does Not Change The Law
“Schools can and should continue to include transgender students equally in all educational programs,” writes Chase Strangio.

I hope the White House's refusal to let these journalists in is just incompetence and not deliberate defiance of a court order. If the latter, we are in very dangerous waters regarding our democracy.

Now we need to know if this ICE flight headed for Ghana has third-country nationals onboard. If so, it needs to bring them back. The emergency ruling is binding immediately, which includes planes in the air. Any lawyers or anyone else with standing think they might know someone onboard? File!

Once they are in the system, it will be nearly impossible to track them by flight data. There are dozens of flights everyday between the big detention center hubs in LA, TX, FL, and AZ. For example, this is just one day:

More important than ever to use Habeas Flight Watch from @jjindc.bsky.social and @lexingtonalarm.bsky.social to get Habeas petitions as soon as someone is captured so they can’t be moved into the gulag archipelago. Especially for people in MN, NYC and Chicago!
The practice does not apply to detainees held at a detention facility in Adelanto, California or at temporary holding facilities in Minneapolis, New York City or suburban Chicago, the sources said. Judges have ordered ICE to list detainees in those facilities in the online locator promptly upon their arrival, as part of litigation over their detention practices.The HFW map showing airports in the eastern US where ICE flights go, some are red or green or yellow depending

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights** Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight.
From meteorologist Eric Snitil

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights**

"Heads up birders, I would not be surprised if the biggest bird migration night of the year happens over the next 2 nights. Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight. That is a lot, but the pattern could not be better for migratory birds. A massive area of high pressure will turn the low level winds from the northeast to the southwest across most of the US. The last time we had anything similar to this in the fall was early October last year when a record 1.25 billion birds were in flight. I doubt we get to that level, but I suspect the number will top 500 million especially Monday night which looks to be the bigger of the two nights. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights on big migration nights, and the next 2 nights is about as big as it gets."

Please for the love of God, stop telling me about Pinochet’s death flights and suggesting ICE is doing them. 1) The doors on the charter jets ICE uses cannot be opened midflight. It is physically impossible. 2) Even if depressurized, the door would fly off and/or bodies get sucked into engines
