Apparently, today is Taxonomist Appreciation Day, which has been celebrated (albeit quietly) annually on March 19th. Here are some recent taxonomic works published by the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity @floridamuseum:

This is a serious allegation. Recent reports from The Guardian (March 2026) and PBS indicate that pregnant unaccompanied minors, some as young as 13, are being moved to a facility in San Benito, Texas, where abortion access is restricted under state law. Sources state that at least half of these pregnancies result from rape or sexual assault, often occurring during migration journeys rather than in detention centers themselves. However, separate documented cases exist of sexual assaults within ICE facilities over the years. Independent investigations and oversight are needed to address these issues.

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-lonesome…

ICE did it again - released a detainee far from her home without notifying her family.
Three days after having an ankle monitor put on by ICE, 31 year old Daphy Michel was found unresponsive at a bus station. She died later that day.
Daphy was seeking asylum in the US. Her brother lives in the US and has TPS status.
She had a hearing scheduled for April on her immigration case.
Her brother was waiting to hear when she would be released so he could bring her home.
ICE hasn’t answered questions from Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 about when Daphy arrived at the ERO Pittsburgh office, when she received the ankle monitor, how long she was in custody, and where & when she was released.

Haitian immigrant last seen in ICE custody—found dead on the street 3 days later. Agents drove her 1 hour away from home for processing—then released without notifying her family. Her body was found near a bus stop. Police say she had "significant mental health episode" that landed her in county jail. But ICE picked her up after judge dismissed all charges and drove her 1 hour away to Pittsburgh. "Told her brother charges were dismissed on Thursday. She doesn't come out on Friday. He gets a call on Monday that she's dead," lawyer explained. "It seems perfectly reasonable if you're going to take someone all the way up here and that far out of their element—you could just as easily have driven them back." Daphy Michel, only 31 years old, was living and working in Penny under Temporary Protected Status as a Haitian refugee.

Ruben Ray Martinez was the first US citizen shot and killed by ICE… but he wouldn’t be the last.
His death was covered up.
There was no public outcry.
There were no protests
Say hi name along with Renee Nicole Good & Alex Pretti
ICE will keep killing unless they’re stopped
The Washington Post@washingtonpost
The March 15, 2025, killing of Ruben Ray Martinez drew almost no public attention. But Martinez is now the first known American citizen shot to death by federal immigration agents during President Trump’s second term. wapo.st/4btkRXl

the modern right wing went from "fuck your feelings libtard" to "she was spiritually harmed by being around a transgender person without her knowledge... why are you denying her lived experience you freaking gaslighter....😢😢😔😔"

Former SJSU volleyball star Brooke Slusser says she shared beds with a transgender teammate without knowing that athlete was a biological male. She says she moved into an apartment with that teammate because her coach encouraged her to. Now, SJSU is suing the Trump administration to challenge an investigation that determined the school violated Title IX, and to reaffirm its commitment to the LGBTQ community, all while Slusser is still working on trying to process everything that happened while she lived in that apartment.

Notice how transphobic people’s “trauma” is pretty much always “I was in the same room as a trans person and they didn’t do anything to me”
Meanwhile nearly every trans person has a story about getting physically/sexually assaulted because they got clocked by a transphobe

Very obvious who has the moral high ground right now, and it absolutely is not the United States.

In the same speech where Kamala notoriously promised to make our military the “most lethal” she also promised to “never hesitate” to fight Iran and its “terrorists.”
Kamala and the DNC elites have been frothing at the mouth for this war for decades.

On TikTok they were praising this guy for delivering flowers to a girl during missile strikes. Most people not realising that the guy who the flowers are from is safely indoors and the person risking his life is an exploited South Asian labourer.
That should answer your question

These are letters and drawings from children at the Dilley Detention Center in Texas. Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst.” He’s going after kids — who should be home, in school, and playing with their friends. This is absolutely heartbreaking — and it must end.
