Had some of our local King Parrots come to visit this afternoon. This one noticed I was whistling at it (to notify it of the seed I'd just put out).

My favourite big fish are sawfish, which have been around for millions of years. This one is being used for conservation research before being tagged and released back into the water.

Reading on many anti-Trump takes and No Kings banners, it dawns on me that most of you want the problem that is Trump for your daily life fixed, but you don't really care about the problem that America is for the rest of the world: coups, invasions, interventions, electoral meddling, drone attacks, etc.

And I can make the same argument for any fucking country in Latin America. When students died in a tortura chamber in Argentina, their torturers were trained in the School fo the Americas, when the Contra waged war in Nicaragua, they were armed and trained by the US.

The voracity of the US, justified by the Monroe Doctrine, has impoverished or fucked up our countries. In every single case, the US allies itself with the far right. What Trump is for Liberal Americans, the US is to the world.

Thinking again about yesterday’s memorandum in the States declaring that trespass and property damage associated with protests will be prosecuted as terrorism, along with the UK’s decision that holding a sign can constitute terrorism.

And some of us were saying 20+ years ago that the whole concept of “terrorism” as an exception to the normal function of justice and law enforcement was going to lead here.

@babe all time favorite is the arguing guys yelling about brutalist architecture but favorite currently on my phone:

Did you know that panic meds that aren't just antihistamines make the panic go away. Took them about an hour ago First time in years I don't feel like something is about to attack me.

Last weekend, demonstrators in Peru clashed with riot police, displaying some of the same iconography as the "Gen Z" protesters who overthrew the government in Nepal two weeks ago. Resistance is contagious.

For background on the stakes of the struggle in Peru, you can consult this article we published in 2023:
