Connect2Nature 🇨🇦@invisitech.bsky.social · 22h ago#Connect2Nature #Birds #BirdoftheDay #RedorDead I call this my "Monet shot" since the background and water reminds me of the artist's style. It has the warm reds and oranges of autumn. The Heron was an added bonus. #Nature #Photography

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · yesterdayDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...
As many of my followers are likely aware, my main issue is Climate Change, and I have a favour to ask. The world has many problems, Canada is no exception, but until we "solve" climate change we won't really have a future. Our kids and grandkids will suffer if we don't make change now. 1/

This is great news. I think the traffic department and city staff should receive praise for pedestrian safety advances. I feel safer in many places around the city. Things always could improve but when I make pedestrian safety suggestions (a lot) they follow through very well.

Ok maybe she's much better known within Congress but she's some random backbencher right? Like picking Porter as an example of someone with no leadership positions but who has some media presence, there's a huge (orders of magnitude) difference
The Right seems to think PressProgress is dying. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s been an eventful few weeks here at PressProgress. Here are some updates 👇🏽
I don’t think any of the people saying this sort of thing, literally any of them, have any of idea of what Stevens was actually like in Congress or the hustings. “From outside Michigan” must mean “from social media”. She was a better than average Democratic rep with a very solid electoral record.
terra firma, terra eterna 🚱🌉@kavi.bsky.social · 16h agoOk not to be one of those "I can't believe the margin was so close" annoyingoids from discover but like ... from outside Michigan I do not understand the mind of a Stevens voter. Like what

Sports are way better. Music is better, as there is so much more of it. News snd info is much much MUCH more available. Weed is immeasurably better. People are way better in bed. The computer is better! Basically almost anything I have a real interest in is much better than when I was growing up.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Righteous stuff from Stevens, who ran extremely well to turn out her vote in the face of a lot of doom and naysaying at the end. You count her politics out at your peril, no matter how distasteful it is.
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 18h agoThis is the way. This is ALSO what "Vote blue no matter who" means.
Quoted to illustrate how bad the polling was for this primary, much worse than having no polling at all, baffling except as a group clustering dynamic, and illustrating a repeated 2026 experience.

Fake post. Ignore. El-Sayed supported Uncommitted against President Biden in the 2024 primaries but supported Vice-President Harris for election.
Delta Nupe@itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social · yesterdayEl-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!

Happy to see the end of Haley Stevens. She was giving the rest of us off-puttingly weird people a bad name.
At some level, each of us who writes things lives in fear that one day someone will read it back to us and ask, “do you really mean that?”

One day longer, 11 weeks stronger! We visited OPSEU local 249's picket line to drop off groceries on behalf of PSAC Hamilton Area Council. Nobody should have to work 3 jobs to make ends meet. Send a message to Doug Ford at worthfightingfor.ca & stop by a picket line near you to show your support! ✊🏻
the fact that it doesn't make sense to have elite women athletes compete directly against elite men athletes in most sports (hardly all! and there should be more real exceptions!) is the reason for women's sports! "couldn't beat a team of elite (amateur, youth, whatever) men" is Not An Argument
