ICE's new policy is unprecedented. People who have detained for months are suddenly disappearing from the locator system — even if they haven't been moved. And people newly arrested are not showing up at all, their location now hidden from view. This will severely interfere with legal access.

Who will they disappear next?

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

H5N1 bird flu is spreading across southeastern Australia, jumping from wild birds to marine mammals like dolphins, fur seals, and endangered sea lions. Experts warn the virus threatens entire ecosystems as infected carcasses risk spreading the disease to scavengers. Story by @npbrao.bsky.social.

That means the transfer could move forward while the larger lawsuit continues. Transferring these protected public lands to SpaceX will further fragment critical wildlife habitat and threaten species including ocelots, shorebirds, and northern aplomado falcons.

A federal court has denied a request to halt the SpaceX land transfer. The Trump administration approved a deal giving SpaceX 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge in exchange for 683 acres of SpaceX-owned land.

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

Just look at that chart?! This is shaping up to be the strongest El Niño of all time - by quite some margin... "Remarkable, in part, because of how early in the calendar year it is occurring. El Niño typically peaks in the winter months, most commonly in November or December."

A George W. Bush-appointed judge who clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is raising the alarm that ICE's disregard for court orders is putting American democracy at risk.

"The main pressures identified are habitat modification and degradation, followed by climate change, and pressures linked to intensive agriculture. Urban development, pollution, habitat fragmentation, pesticide use, landscape simplification and artificial light at night also affect many species."

"Nearly 11% of species in Europe (nearly 12% in the EU27) are threatened with extinction. For a further 1 in 4 species, data is lacking, highlighting major gaps in knowledge about their distribution, ecology and population trends." --> European red list of moths data.europa.eu/doi/10.2779/...

data.europa.euEuropean red list of moths - Publications Office of the EUThis European Red List of Moths provides a comprehensive assessment of the extinction risk of moth species across Europe and the EU27, contributing to the wider effort to measure the state of European biodiversity. The assess- ment applies the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria to evaluate species’ conservation status and identify those at risk of extinction. It aims to support evidence-based policy, guide conservation priorities, and improve understanding of moth populations, trends and threats across the region. This first European Red List of Moths represents a major collaborative effort drawing on the expertise of specialists from across Europe. All Red List assessments rely on the collective knowledge and commitment of experts, and the authors gratefully acknowledge the many lepidopterists who contributed to this project. Their willingness to share data, expertise and time on a voluntary basis made this assessment possible.

To just give up taking care of the Earth, and use "God's will" (or something along those lines) as the excuse, is so mentally lazy, so exceedingly wrong, that a religion like that is just the most horrible INFECTIOUS BRAIN DISEASE that ever existed. Be more like #PopeForPlanet !!

Whenever Republicans say gas prices spiked “under Biden” they always fail to mention that it coincided with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But Trump promised dozens of times during the campaign that he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours & said it “wouldn’t even be hard.”

Every news story must address this. And in 6 weeks, “we can be the adults in the room. We can perform an intervention. We can state loudly & clearly there’s a psychiatric emergency and we need responsible leaders who will use their power to lessen the danger.” www.americaamerica.news/p/america-we...
