Be kind. Make good choices. Geneva/Virginia. I follow Concannons, Kathryns and librarians, but mostly I follow smart people (there are a lot here).

A CONVICTED FELON just dismantled what so MANY died for‼️
SO DISGUSTINGLY SHAMEFUL‼️

NEW JERSEY — bonkers… the husband of an ICE agent uses her marked car to pretend to be Homeland Security and respond to a call HE MADE HIMSELF… with a gun and sirens and everything.

🛰️ Lake Omodeo 🇮🇹, Sardinia’s largest reservoir, shows a sharp decline in water levels after years of drought.

#CopernicusEU Sentinel-2 images (2023–2025) reveal shrinking water extent, with storage dropping from 83% to 45%.

In 2023, IPCC scientists bemoaned COP28 stating warming was 1.1°C (it was really 1.3-1.4°C). In 2025, at 1.4, 1.5°C, or even 1.6-1.7°C (official estimates), IPCC is still using 1.1°C. Mass media? Silent. 🧵

Isaiah Martin faces misdemeanor charges for disrupting a meeting, resisting arrest and criminal trespass, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. https://t.co/njbexNiIvj

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

An update on Isaiah, we haven’t heard anything in close to 14 hours.

[Gene Trevino @GenoVeno73]

This is Congressional Democratic candidate Isaiah Martin, running in the 2026 Texas District 18 general election.

He not only had is mic shut off, he was also dragged out of the hearing, pushed to the floor TWICE, and arrested.

Republicans HATE the 1st Amendment.

WATCH BOTH

With Colton's conviction, that makes FOUR pardoned January 6th insurrectionists who have faced charges for solicitation of a minor or child sex abuse of some kind.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

Americans don't understand that the rest of the world just laughs when they claim to be the country of 'freedom'. They get about 4 days off work a year, no maternity or sick leave, no free healthcare, democracy is owned by billionaires, you arent even free to cross a street.

[Kali Holloway | @kaliholloway at bsky dot social @kalihollowayftw]

The USDA stole 16 MILLION acres of black farmland through racist loan denials — estimated worth of $250-$350 billion. The gov. admits this in reports dating to 1965.

This administration is pure evil.

I wrote about this. Begging you to read:

This is a five-alarm fire for democracy, and the entire country MUST pay attention. Trump’s scheme to rig Texas maps is just the start — if we don’t stop it, it’ll spread across the whole nation.

We need to fight like hell to stop it.

Tropical rainforest fragments that have so far survived the horrors of industrial food systems in the capitalist era won't last much longer. Corporate globalization is triggering rapid extinction.

[Ben See @ClimateBen]

Do scientists think capitalism will soon end deforestation, cut life-killing pesticides, and slash carbon emissions without causing an aerosol termination shock by 2030 while also making massive profits amid endless growth? 🧵

🧵They returned him home broken. Not by age or illness, but by russian torture.

Valeriy Zelenskyy survived 39 months in russian captivity.
He was strong enough to make it home.
But not strong enough to survive what they did to him. ⬇️

Only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. Only her. Remember that.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

ICE delay taking detained woman to hospital—left her handcuffed & covered in own vomit for 8 hours.

She suffered medical emergency during arrest—not given medical care.

Now agents stalk the hallways & lobby of hospital 24/7—creating "hostile environment" for staff & patients.

"Everybody deserves access to health care in an environment that is safe and free from intimidation."

Community leaders are protesting Glendale Memorial Hospital's decision to cooperate with ICE at all—claiming it is also a violation of HIPAA privacy rights.

Milagro Solis Portillo was first detained outside her home in Sherman Oaks, California.

So when your dad says “his grandparents came here legally,” what he really means is they just showed up. No visas. No green cards. No paperwork. Just a boat and white skin.

Today’s migrants do more, prove more, and get mistreated.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal law enforcement officers are grabbing some people so fast that the lawnmowers haven't even been turned off. They're even leaving cars with smashed windows abandoned on the street without even notifying local police.

[Maca Iglesias 🇺🇸Thank You, President Biden🇺🇸 @rotterdamvvg]

Reports begin to emerge regarding the inhumane conditions under which people are being detained at the Florida Everglades concentration camp.

• One meal per day
• No showers
• Maggot-infested food
• Lights on 24/7

These are known torture tactics.

Many detainees are legal residents.
