Jonathan, a 194-year-old Aldabra giant tortoise, was born before the Civil War. Scientists have now sequenced his genome to reveal what’s behind his extreme longevity, so we can live longer too.

There are over 4,000 mentions of SPLC informants in the FBI investigative records, and FBI has not yet searched Delta, its records on informants. In other words, FBI relied on them, a lot, and is trying to withhold that information from SPLC. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
3. The government has also represented to the defense that it has, for the first time, searched
for the names of the SPLC informants in the Sentinel database for the same time frame of 2007 to
2023 and that the number of hits for those informants ranges from zero to 4,197. The government
does not know, but agreed to take reasonable steps to attempt to determine, how many of the “hits”
are unique hits and the degree, if any, of overlap between the 19,746 hits and the 4,197 hits.
4. During the second meet and confer on September 9, the government disclosed for the first
time that some of the responsive materials the defense is seeking would not be in the Sentinel
database, but rather would be held in a second FBI database called “Delta.” Defense counsel
understands that, broadly speaking, Delta is the FBI’s internal electronic record-keeping system
for confidential human source information or management. Defense counsel also understands that
this database would include exculpatory information about confidential informants. It would also
include communications between the FBI and any informant or confidential human source, as well
as information confirming that some of the SPLC informants were also FBI informants.

A stencil mural on a red brick wall in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. The artwork features a bold yellow background divided into two sections. The top shows a single large black fish surrounded by smaller fish scattered in disarray, with the text "DO NOT PANIC." The bottom section illustrates the smaller fish united to form a larger, powerful fish, swimming together to face the bigger fish, accompanied by the text "ORGANIZE." The piece delivers a powerful social message of unity and collective strength against challenges. A black fence runs along the bottom edge of the mural.

The best of 2025 : Accountabiility.
4 frame comic. a street reporter approaches a man wearing a big hoodie, asking : sir! how much do you think
we should hold feminism
accountable for the male
loneliness epidemic?
he replies : 
there is no meaningful
difference between the
rates of loneliness between
men and women*. the reason
we're always talking about
men's is that they're making
it everyone else's problem.
A note under the frame adds : 
*in fact, several studies (graham &
ong, 2024; cigna & morning consult,
2021) suggest that more women
experience loneliness than men.
In the 3rd frame, he says :
according to research*,
the primary reason that
men isolate themselves is
because they feel incapable
of living up to rigid gendered
expectations. the far-right
exploits that vulnerability
to radicalize young men.
another note under the frame adds a source :
*the state of american men 2025,
equimundo: center for masculinities
and social justice. fourth frame : If anything, feminism is the solution to men's loneliness. let's deconstruct the gender norms that hurt everyone, before these techno-fascists divide us even more.

Read @adamserwer.bsky.social on the Roberts' court's attempts to "to turn the guarantees of the Civil War amendments back into what James Madison called "parchment barriers.'" www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Defending slavery, however, required invasive uses of power, such as banning antislavery literature and returning escaped Black people to bondage. Many white Americans in the 19th century began to understand that the “Slave Power” curtailed their freedoms as well. And this is what many people forget: Systems of domination rarely spread their blessings widely. The Redemption-era revocation of Black freedoms didn’t result in prosperity for white people writ large, but a Gilded Age in which the upper classes gained unfathomable wealth and economic crises left millions destitute. The nation may have held on to white supremacy, but it also got low wages, a threadbare welfare state, and a society dominated by the rich. Everyone else was too divided by race and class to challenge them.
