Look at this goofball sticking its tongue at you! This leafhopper nymph (Amblyscarta) is one of the most brightly colored insects you can find in the Amazon region.
This is a freshly hatched nymph.

There’s a lot of reporting on this happening (thank you @billy-penn.bsky.social) but one thing missing in a lot of the coverage, is the fact that there’s a plan to eliminate programs for autistic kids in my neighborhood.

Support for impeaching Trump is at 55%, according to a new Strength In Numbers/ @Verasight.io poll, with 37% of adults opposed. Crucially 1 in 5 of Trump’s own voters support impeachment.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.

I just did this: I requested my doctor put in a lab order for vaccine titer testing. I had blood drawn at the lab and a day later for results. It confirmed that I am in fact immune to measles! Phew.
If you’re immunocompetent (i.e. not immune suppressed), one thing you can do to fight fascism is to make sure you’re immune to measles - that way you won’t spread it to anyone else

“Military adventurism” is some kind of euphemism. How about illegal warmongering and foolishly threatening the NATO alliance and the counties that used to be our closest allies?
This bill does nothing to lower health care costs.
This bill doesn't restrict Trump’s military adventurism in Venezuela and Greenland.
This bill doesn't halt ICE’s dangerous abuses of power and prevent ICE’s chaos in every American city.
I will vote NO on this budget deal.

This is truly terrible and distressing. It’s strange to see Trump cheering on the protestors and urging them to stand up to the regime when it seems like he would LOVE for his security forces to act with this level of force against those of us protesting the Trump administration.
The death toll from a crackdown on protests in Iran jumps to at least 2,571, activists said early Wednesday.
