Say his name! On Tuesday, ICE murdered LORENZO SALGADO ARAUJO a husband & father on his way to work in Houston! He lived 30+ yrs in the USA, & was going through the immigration process. He sent 3 of his American citizen sons to college. Trump/GOP’s ICE makes no one safer & is a paramilitary force!

HAYES: “Flo Balogun is American, and that is a wonderful thing. We are a nation of immigrants, birthright citizens — and that rules.” @chrislhayes points out Balogun is exactly the kind of American Rep Ogles, Stephen Miller and Republicans call a “scourge” 🤔 ⚽️

Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

Op dit moment zijn wespenkoninginnen bezig met hun embryonestje. In een heel enkel geval kunnen er al meer wespen zijn, zoals bij veldwespen, die vaak samen nesten bouwen. Vroege werksters zijn niet uitgesloten, maar wel zeldzaam rond deze tijd. 80-90% van de embryonestjes mislukt. 1/3

Klein rond wespennestje met een wesp die bovenaan bezig is de volgende laag omhulsel om het nest te bouwen. Onderaan zit een opening en het nestje is tegen een richel van een witte muur aan gebouwd.
