Interview on the fatal shooting of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis:

Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General (who prosecuted the George Floyd murder case).

Federal authorities have now excluded state authorities from the investigation, & VP Vance says Ross is already exonerated.

"This is Third Reich stuff,” says Ellison, of ICE's escalating aggression, "an unprecedented attack on American institutions.”

already known...but let's put a spotlight on the next ICC judge (from Canada) who is cancelled from the digital life. No Amazon, no Mastercard, no Netflix account...

Just because Trump doesn't like the ruling of an independent international institution like the International Criminal Court.

ICC judges have been forcibly removed from most digital services, credit cards, and banks.

"Amazon, obliged to implement the sanctions as a US company, had cancelled her account."

@Queen1066 I have an account with them. I also have an account with Revolut as a backup. Wise is the primary, as Revolut has some higher fees on non-working days and is a bit sketchy. But I wouldn't feel comfortable just with the Wise account. Wise also freezes your account if your balance exceeds a certain amount (geography specific) @adfichter

j'avais trouvé son précédent livre faible sur pas mal de sources ; je me souviens de la petite ferme de crypto au Congo qui dans son livre était un truc gigantesque servant de cheval de Troie à la Chine, mais sans source précise citée, et en creusant (un peu) cela ne ressemblait à rien d'autre qu'à une ferme minuscule, unique, sur un terrain en terre battue, financée sur fond français (ou européen). Donc pour argumenter contre la crypto, son livre n'était pas le bon outil malheureusement, on m'avait cloué le bec comme ça.

Greta Thunberg detained by UK police over support for 'Palestine Action prisoners'

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained by British police on Tuesday while protesting outside the offices of Aspen Insurance in central London, after displaying a placard stating her support for Palestine Action prisoners and opposing genocide.

Organizers said she was arrested under the "UK’s terrorism legislation," as Palestine Action has been proscribed by the government since July, with hundreds arrested nationwide for expressing support for the group.

New lamps!💡 In 2023 I created a line of lamps for an interior design company. They wanted a very simple, classic, non-decorative surface and so it’s been fun to return to the idea with the addition of my Earth Tones and carved surfaces. The larger one is an order from a long-time collector who’s become a friend. The other one is for my mom’s birthday! #handmade #pottery

Twinning in the sun 🌞 with my favorite mug from this collection. I did not consciously dress like the mug but considering the fact that I mostly wore neutral tones before I started working with #WildClay sig, it’s safe to say that the clay is speaking through my outfits these days. The pink, orange and olive green on the exterior are all natural clay tones. This mug is going to a home in Gainesville, Florida. A few pieces are left: www.potterybyosa.com

The handful of you who also follow my gardening account @PermaSolarPotter know that I’ve begun #spinning native cotton. I love plants in the hibiscus family and was given permission to gather some seeds from a plant at the community garden last spring. I started off spinning the fiber with a pencil and then got my neighbor to make me a spindle from scrap wood. The two ceramic whorls I made just came out of the kiln and my neighbor fashioned some dowels to fit them. #FiberArts

And you got the seeds from a community garden. This little post of yours just gives me so much happiness.

Given the current temperature in Glasgow, I figured it's worth posting this plaque I came across on Westbank Quadrant about the origins of Lord Kelvin's ground-breaking research into absolute zero while he was a professor at Glasgow University. None of it is remotely true, but it's an amusing tale nonetheless, and with the current cold snap, it feels quite plausible!

Rev. Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston, was shot in the leg with a pepper ball by state police while protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility, Illinois. He writes for Religion News Service about why he continues to show up at Broadview, the atmosphere at protests there, and religious leaders' obligation to resist tyranny. "It is important for my neighbors who were abducted to know that we will not stop fighting for their release," he writes. "By my estimation, our country is somewhere in 1930s Germany. Fascism is growing in power, but we still have opportunities to resist."

Before I can switch gears and begin on my smoke fired pots, I’ve got to finish up this last batch. It’ll be a mixture of smaller sized tableware, a couple of lamps and some larger pieces for an upcoming show. I’m in the carving and decorating phase of the cycle now. Next comes the bisque fire, glazing and then firing one last time. The pottery cycle reminds me of the cycle of the moon.

Last year, I sent some #clay that I collected to the University of West Georgia Archaeology Dept and they just sent me the results of their experiment. They tested how the addition of sponge spicules (or fired sea sponge) affects the strength of the fired clay. This method of tempering clay isn't common but evidence of its use can be found in pottery shards throughout the world, including here in SW #Florida. Anyway, how cool to be able to assist in scientific #research.

@Shadedlady No need to call that sarcasm. It won’t.

But having a Jew-free area in Gaza for 18 years sure did not change their minds either. Oct. 7th proved that.

As taking hostages doesn’t change the minds of extremists in Israel.

What can change their respective minds?

@Shadedlady Israel tried a two state solution and threw their own extremists out of Gaza.

Back then Gaza could have been the start of an independent, peaceful state but Hamas turned it into a training ground and equipment source for terrorists.

How to make sure that a second try does not end the same way?

For a one-state solution that’s even harder and more important.

How do you get Hamas and PLO (and Hezbollah) to stop trying to annihilate Israel and kill all Jews?
