Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie

Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

We don‘t know what this upstanding man’s plans were Saturday. Maybe he was headed to meet a friend for breakfast and this unfolded in front of him. This fascism is awful. It will interrupt your daily life even if it hasn’t yet. Get to know your neighbors and organize to support the less privileged.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Good morning readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. In the towns near Ukraine's frontline, Russian FPV drones hunt civilians, a new tactic called a "human safari". Yana, who lives in Kherson, regularly sees these drones and the damage they cause.

Russia’s disturbing human ‘safaris’

Violating the laws of war, Russians have created a sick game of hunting civilians with FPV drones near the frontline. We take you behind the scenes, to the people most affected.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Sara Whitmer

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Neutral doesn’t mean bland. Tile shopping with a client.

ICE is torturing a chaplain to a Cincinnati’s children’s hospital who is in this country legally. If sent back to his country of origin (Egypt) he will likely be executed. This is our government doing the torturing.

Feels kinda important to point out that if non-citizens are required to carry proof of legal status, then citizens do too by default. This is absolutely insane.

Dark times acknowledged. Weird people are dismantling the systems of our government. Calling my senators and congressman. Tonight, finding serenity in the beauty of nature.

Day 14 #artadventcalendar it’s that time of year when it’s hard to keep the days straight, so much activity and preparation for the holidays. Pen and ink of a proposal to add an office and give a little facelift to a greenhouse at a local nursery.

Day 15 #artadventcalendar (time flies!) is from my travel sketch book, 4x6 watercolor paper. Lighthouse, South Portland, ME, early September.

Sketch done in a very small sketch book of the South Portland, Maine lighthouse out on its rocky point, using pencil and watercolor. The red roofs that are varying heights and angles make this building particularly striking. There is a wonderful public park with paths and benches surrounding the point.
