"In Portugal's marine forests, scientists discover kelp is a powerful carbon store"

Portugal’s kelp forests show remarkable carbon storage abilities
Scientists warn that climate change is threatening the seaweed's ability to store carbon and support biodiversity.

I learn a new lie every day. Saturday, the 5M protesters were "paid actor terrorists", today the protesters “used fake blood to falsify injuries”

I’ve been really interested in both aspects of this post:
1. ICE right-wing fringe groups conspicuously steered clear of protests yesterday in a way that suggests that orders went out (whose?) and/or (I’m guessing “and”) that there’s a sense from those people that they don’t have public support and don’t have free license to instigate violence.
2. Police went out of their way to put on a friendly face. I’ve been getting vibes that some local police resent ICE — “this is OUR turf, beating up Black and brown people was OUR job” — and, contrary to what we and the regime might expect, ICE isn’t always getting free support by default from that quarter.
Caveats: No solid conclusions here, just reading vibes. And even if it is actually true for now, all of this can shift on a dime. Still, sure is notable. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mxc7liuon6iq5gzapmmwkq22/post/3m3krd3w4s22k

Coverage of No Kings in the print MN Star Tribune is terrible. Story is in Section B (State & Region). Number of protesters is "throngs" (not the actual 10s of thousands). Main picture is the start of the Minneapolis protest that shows about 50 people, and a couple dozen more in St. Cloud.

A Trump cultist, in illegal possession of a firearm, threatening No Kings rally participants. Not a No Kings protester.
