Happening now! Border Patrol amassing forces after land defenders re-established a tree sit on the Mexican side of the border in La Noria, Sonora, this morning, stopping wall construction the day after DHS killed the Grandmother Tree.

A tough day at the Axios HR department
It's my last week @axios.

I joined soon after launch in 2017 not knowing I was boarding a rocket ship. Immensely grateful to my colleagues and proud of what our ragtag startup has become.

Next week I'll join the incredible national security team @WSJ. Can't wait to get started!

This is not protocol for giving notice. Please contact the People Team

Incidences of sexual violence are shockingly common at US universities, and only a fraction of them actually get reported to the authorities.

These men also live rurally and in small towns. Nearly all rapes never even get reported, so these men know that the odds are with them and that they can likely continue sexually abusing women and children and they will probably get away with it. They aren’t afraid and they aren’t ashamed.

From a simply outstanding glass plate negative in my collection. No date/info.
Photo of a shorthaired grey cat sitting up on an overturned white parasol on top of a light colored rock. A white sheet is draped behind it. It seems clear that this was all arranged deliberately to gather light for this very successful photo shoot of the cat.

Notice the absence of the traditional olive branch? The olive branch symbolized America prioritizing peace with war as a last resort. It has been part of the Great Seal of the United States since 1782 and was part of the original seal of the Department of Defense.

Y’all, Catholics don’t applaud in church. Ever. This is a thing. You don’t have to like the church or organized religion. You do need to understand that up until the 90s and the US church pivot to abortion as a primary issue, the Catholic Church has long been a powerhouse in immigrant communities

We're repeatedly told that the killer app for pervert glasses - Meta's AI-enabled camera glasses and their imitators - is that they will remind you of someone's name and spare you the social awkwardness of not recognizing them.
