The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

Emperor penguin populations in Antartica may be declining faster than the most pessimistic predictions, according to a new analysis of satellite imagery.

Flashing your Costco card might get you a $1.50 hot dog – but try it at airport security and you might just miss your flight. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a reminder for travellers that Costco membership cards are not acceptable as REAL IDs at U.S. airport security checkpoints. In a Facebook post, laced with humour, the TSA said, “We love hotdogs & rotisserie chickens as much as the next person but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not.”

Immigrants seeking legal help online to protect themselves from Trump’s deportation plans are increasingly falling prey to costly scams.

Despite Democratic-Farmer-Labor control of the state Senate, the governor’s office, and half of the House, Republicans forced Democrats to roll back one of their signature accomplishments from the 2023 legislative session: health care for undocumented people. The Legislature passed a bill Monday to repeal undocumented adults’ eligibility for MinnesotaCare, the state-subsidized health insurance program for the working poor. DFL House caucus leader Melissa Hortman joined Republicans in the House to pass the bill. In the Senate, DFL Sens. Grant Hauschild of Hermantown, Ann Rest of New Hope, Robert Kupec of Moorhead and Majority Leader Erin Murphy of St. Paul also voted for the bill. Undocumented children will still be eligible for MinnesotaCare when Gov. Tim Walz signs the bill into law, as promised. Republicans successfully used their leverage — the threat of a government shutdown starting July 1 — to force the Democrats’ hand on an issue that is of supreme importance to GOP lawmakers. “The role of the church – the role of people of faith – is to care for our neighbors. Yes,” said Rep. Isaac Schultz, R-Elmdale Township, during the House floor debate. “But not in this instance, specifically.”

Canada’s airports were bustling in April, but fewer passengers were flying to the United States, a sign that efforts by American destinations to win back Canadian tourists may be falling flat. ... “The start of the season, April and May, we were 30 per cent behind last year,” Dame said. “Lodging reservations were 22 per cent down … I would say about 25 per cent of our regular guests have decided not to return.” He said he’s personally reached out to dozens of long-time customers, many of whom have visited for more than a decade. “They said, ‘We love you, we love Bluff Point, but we’re not going to be coming back to the United States this year,’” he said. “That was 49 out of about 130 groups.”

Federal health officials say a salmonella outbreak linked to a large egg recall has made dozens of people sick in seven states in the West and Midwest.

How a sick obsession is killing workers, democracy, and our planet.

The Service Employees International Union California (SEIU) issued a statement Friday that the labor union's president, David Huerta, was detained during the ICE raids across Los Angeles. The labor union is calling for the release of Huerta, who they say was injured during the federal agency's operations. Huerta was released from the hospital, where he was treated for his injuries, but remains in custody. “What happened to me is not about me; This is about something much bigger. This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice that’s happening. Hard-working people, and members of our family and our community, are being treated like criminals. We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice. And we all have to stand on the right side of justice," said Huerta.

Whenever Yara Haridy, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago, shows off the fossils she works with, people are often disappointed. Unlike the statuesque bones of dinosaurs or even the small spirals of ancient seashells, Haridy's fossils "kind of look like dust, or like the last little bit in your cereal," she said, adding that scientists call them "fish flakes." These fossils are too tiny to spot, let alone excavate on site. Instead, geologists take layers of rock and dissolve them in acid, revealing the bones and other organic bits left behind. This is how researchers first discovered the fish flakes, after the mote-like fossils suddenly appeared at a certain point in Cambrian rocks. Earth's earliest vertebrates are little more than squishy, wormy critters with no hard parts of their own. But after about a 20-million-year gap, suddenly the record shows vertebrates "that look like small little armored tanks or Roombas that are swimming around," said Karma Nanglu, a paleobiologist at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology. Haridy hoped that the fish flakes might help fill in the gap: a hypothetical vertebrate somewhere between "the squishy guys and the fully formed fish."

The horror can only be seen in slow motion. When a fly touches the outstretched leaves of the Cape sundew, it quickly finds itself unable to take back to the air. The insect is trapped. Goopy mucilage anchors it in place. Struggling doesn’t help. More often than not, the jerking movements to get free only bring the meal into contact with more points of sticky contact. Little by little, the leaf curls over the insect, almost as if possessive, as the digestive process begins. It’s hard not to relate to the little insects that carnivorous plants like the Cape sundew, Venus flytraps and pitcher plants feed upon. What seems to be an inert plant, a part of the ecological background, suddenly becomes an inescapable trap. The idea has stuck with us so strongly that we have turned human-eating plants into a sci-fi staple, even though such organisms may seem to us primordial or better suited to some prehistoric moment. In fact, carnivorous plants do have a deep history that stretches back millions of years—throughout their past drawing in essential nutrients from animal prey that the soil itself does not provide. Most of this carnivorous botany is small, but the diversity of different trapping mechanisms raises an evolutionary question. Why haven’t carnivorous plants grown to sizes large enough to rival the human-munching plants we repeatedly invoke in fiction?

Mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in the United States to face charges of transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S... The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee, sources briefed on Schrader's decision told ABC News. Schrader's resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said.
