#BirdsVsFish crossover at the @nationalwildlife.bsky.social meeting! FINtastic to finally meet @corinanewsome.bsky.social in person!
A bird scientist and a fish scientist put aside their differences and take a fun photo with an Alligator Gar (fish) head. They’ve known each other for over 10 years online, but this was their first meeting in person!

Just landed in Minneapolis for a conference and was shocked by the extremely thick air pollution. Turns out it’s the Canada wildfires. The air is hard to breathe and I wouldn’t be considered part of a “vulnerable” group health-wise.

MUST-WATCH: “XAI is treating people who live in MEMPHIS as if they don’t count.” The air pollution is deadly. And Musk’s XAI is already expanding, as Trump’s EPA deregulates to pave the way. This should be a bigger story. Full @moreperfectunion.bsky.social piece: youtu.be/3VJT2JeDCyw?...

ICE agents are torturing a green card holder from New Hampshire, his mother says www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities.

“It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized.

Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.

Israel says it is stopping the entry of all aid and supplies into the Gaza Strip
The prime minister's office did not elaborate on the decision but warned of “additional consequences” if Hamas does not accept what Israel says is a U.S. proposal for an extension of the ceasefire.
