A mysterious Iron Age figure from Ballachulish

NMS

These are the dirham coin snips from Tune. The coins were struck in the Caliphate. They were cut up like this because the Scandies didn't read Arabic and paid no attention to the denominations. They were interested in the *weight* of silver when paying for something.

Greek DRACHM --> DRHM --> Arabic DIRHAM

To be clear — here is what is happening

DOJ orders ICE to arrest people—even without a judicial warrant

People see these violations of their rights—peacefully protest

LAPD confirms people protested peacefully—as is their Constitutional right

Trump fabricates claim of violence—deploys National Guard

Fascists escalate violence to justify their existence. That’s what Trump is doing. Don’t fall for it. Stand united with our neighbors against this tyranny.

Having been living in downtown LA during the 1992 LA Riots... there is not a riot going on, it's protesters, pissed off people, jumpy cops/military with tear gas. (though, the right wingers would like to spark a riot and/or start a police riot, so the fascists can start shooting people for real). #LosAngeles

Um... what happened to the second person???
It was a long #drive (467 km/290 miles). I briefly saw my #mother in Simpele. But now I'm here in Punkaharju and I can rest. It's a shame that the #spa is not open on Sundays. The program starts tomorrow at 9 am. This is a #wellbeing #holiday. And free for me. My application was approved. It's time to take care of myself instead of everyone else for a change. This hotel was earlier for #Finnish #war veterans. They got physical therapy here. The building is 122 years old #suomimastodon #finland
Summers in Teton County are the halcyon summer days of our childhood memories. Perfect and timeless. #idaho
