While named for their disproportionately large, fang-like teeth and unapproachable visage, fangtooths are actually quite small and harmless to humans: the larger of the two species, the common fangtooth, reaches a maximum length of just 16 cm (6.3 in); the shorthorn fangtooth is less than half this size, though currently known only from juvenile specimens.

Even though the fins are presumably quite stiff to be able to support its weight, observations of swimming fish shows that their fins seem flexible; it is suggested that fluids are pumped into these fins when the fish is 'standing' to make them more rigid.

Newsom informed Hegseth that his order to deploy National Guard was unlawful, that local law enforcement resources sufficient, and that deploying National Guard w/out adequate training or orders risked serious escalation of situation. Newsom asked Hegseth to rescind order.
Instead, Hegseth posted on social media that he was deploying 700 active duty Marines to L.A. to “restore order” and “defend federal law enforcement”. 5/

Every night, a massive amount of marine life, including fish, squid, and crustaceans, rises from the depths of the ocean to feed on plankton near the surface.
This phenomenon, known as diel vertical migration, is considered the largest animal migration on Earth.
The creatures return to the depths before dawn to avoid predators and conserve energy, according to the National Oceanography Centre.
‼️ Ninth Circuit panel just issued an administrative stay of Judge Breyer's order. Trump's activation of the California National Guard will remain in effect at least through Tuesday, when panel will review lower court’s TRO.

I guess "TROs aren't appealable" is now one of those old-fashioned outmoded legal principles like socage, or the comma rule of interpretation of property grants.

Trump has ordered the US government to consolidate its wildland firefighting force into a single program, despite warnings from former federal officials that it could be costly and increase the risk of catastrophic blazes in the middle of peak wildfire season.
The order aims to centralize firefighting efforts, which are now split among five agencies and two cabinet departments. Trump’s proposed budget for next year calls for the creation of a new Federal Wildland Fire Service under the US interior department. That would mean shifting thousands of personnel from the US Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service – where most federal firefighters now work – with fire season already under way. The administration has not disclosed how much money the change could cost or save.
The Trump administration in its first months temporarily cut off money for wildfire prevention work and reduced the ranks of federal government firefighters through layoffs and retirement.

The Trump administration in its first months temporarily cut off money for wildfire prevention work and reduced the ranks of federal government firefighters through layoffs and retirement.
The order makes no mention of climate change, which Trump has downplayed even as global heating helps stoke bigger and more destructive wildfires that churn out massive amounts of harmful pollution.
More than 65,000 wildfires across the US burned almost 9m acres (3.6m hectares) last year.
Organizations representing firefighters and former forest service officials say it would be costly to restructure firefighting efforts and cause major disruptions in the middle of fire season.
A group that includes several former forest service chiefs said in a recent letter to lawmakers that consolidation of firefighting work could “actually increase the likelihood of more large catastrophic fires, putting more communities, firefighters and resources at risk”.

A federal judge ruled on Thursday that Donald Trump illegally deployed the California national guard to suppress protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles and ordered the force to be returned to the control of the state governor, Gavin Newsom. The order by the US district judge Charles Breyer will not take effect until noon on Friday, but it marked a stinging defeat for the Trump administration that is sure to touch off a pitched legal battle destined for the US supreme court. In issuing a temporary restraining order against Trump, Breyer found the president had failed to show there was a “rebellion” in Los Angeles that required him to federalize the guard and failed to comply with the procedural steps to notify the governor.
“His actions were illegal – both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor,” Breyer wrote.

A federal judge ruled on Thursday that Donald Trump illegally deployed the California national guard to suppress protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles and ordered the force to be returned to the control of the state governor, Gavin Newsom. The order by the US district judge Charles Breyer will not take effect until noon on Friday, but it marked a stinging defeat for the Trump administration that is sure to touch off a pitched legal battle destined for the US supreme court. In issuing a temporary restraining order against Trump, Breyer found the president had failed to show there was a “rebellion” in Los Angeles that required him to federalize the guard and failed to comply with the procedural steps to notify the governor.
“His actions were illegal – both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor,” Breyer wrote.
The request for the injunction is part of a lawsuit filed by the state of California challenging Trump’s move to call up more than 4,000 national guard troops and about 700 active-duty marines based in Twentynine Palms, California, over Newsom’s objections. “Our success today in court is a win for all Americans,” Newsom said in a statement shortly after the order. “The president’s action to turn the military against its own citizens threatened our democracy and moved us dangerously close to authoritarianism.” The decision came hours after a hearing in federal district court in San Francisco where the justice department argued Trump had the sole and unreviewable power to decide whether there was a “rebellion” that needed federal intervention. Breyer rejected both arguments in his sweeping 36-page opinion, effectively rebuking the justice department for trying to suggest the conditions to take control of the guard had been met as long as Trump had decided himself that was the case. “The president’s discretion in what to do next does not mean that the president can unilaterally and without judicial review declare that a vacancy exists in order to fill it. That is classic ipse dixit,” Breyer wrote, adding that the definition of rebellion had clearly not been met.
Breyer was also skeptical of the justice department’s contention that Trump had followed the procedural step of ordering the guard “through” the governor by only directly notifying the adjutant general of the California national guard, to whom Newsom had delegated authority. “Regardless of whether Defendants gave Governor Newsom an opportunity to consult with them or consent to the federalization of California’s National Guard, they did not issue their orders through him,” Breyer wrote. #ipsedixit #judgebreyer

Back in 1776, we in the US fought a Revolution against England. Now we speak English, and England is our friend. Go explain that, insane POTUS. Fuck Trump.
Trump claims Putin (Russia) lost 51m people. That's actually a global WWII death estimate. USSR deaths claimed by Russia as 26.6m but includes: - 2.1m eastern Poles & Baltic states people (occupied by USSR after WWII started & kept by USSR after WWII. Also USSR killed 100-130k Poles during WWII) - 80% of civilians who died in Nazi occupied areas of the pre WWII USSR were Ukrainian or Belarusian. OTOH only 55% of total civilian deaths (inc. famine & disease) were non-Russian. 810,000 Russian civilians starved in Leningrad ☹️ - 6.75m Russian soldiers died, which is 65% of the total military deaths (the Russian total includes asiatic groups from the Russian far east) - Total Russian deaths, as estimated by Russia, is 14m, not Trump's stupid & repeated 51m.

"Dear Fellow Priests, Deacons and Ministry Leaders of our Parishes,
"On th emorning of June 20th, which is Internation REfugee Day, a group of priests and faith leaders are plannign to visit the federal court building to stand in solidarity with migrants who are making their court appearances. We know that migrants and refugees find themselves in the difficult predicament of being called to appear, which is what the government asks of them, and then being given orders for expedited removal from our country.
"This group of priests and faith leaders will simply be present during this process as it has been experienced that the presence of faith leaders makes a difference in how the migrants are treated. Unfortunately, it will most likely not change the outcome. Following the court appearances, the faith leaders will have a press conference so that the clear message that people of faith stand with immigrants and refugees can be delivered to the broader public.
"They will gather at 7am and conclude by 10am. If you feel moved to participate, please notify either of the following:
