#TodaysBeauty is a double tweet with some of the images I took at Lime Kiln Lighthouse on Friday when J and L pods came by and hung out for awhile in the heavy flood-tide current. Plus a bonus sound track.
Tweet No. 2.
Oh what the heck, there's enough for a third tweet.
Here's the promised bonus soundtrack.

Bonus bonus: Here's the video, with the vocalizations added to the soundtrack.

This man, William J. Olson, was for years the counsel for Gun Owners of America, possibly the most far-right of all pro-gun groups, run by Larry Pratt, who was a major figure in the founding of the “militia movement” of the 1990s.

nytimes.com/2022/07/16/us/…
Pratt was one of the "Christian men" who gathered at the Estes Park, Colo., Christian Identity church of Pastor Pete Peters in 1992 that is credited with giving birth to the militias.
splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…
When Pratt's long associations with far-right extremists were exposed in 1996, he was forced to resign as co-chairman of Pat Buchanan's presidential campaign. Over the years, he's built quite a record of extremism himself as well.

FWIW, Jason Van Tatenhove mentioned two other Oath Keepers attempts to generate an armed standoff after Bundy Ranch. I covered both of them for the SPLC. The Sugar Pine Mine scene came first, in April 2015.

The most striking aspect of the three-week occupation was that locals organized against them and were treated to what became a predictable pattern of threats and intimidation.

The Sugar Pine Mine situation also came perilously close to devolving into a weirdly violent scene fueled by their own paranoia.

An unremarked aspect of this fascinating thread is that the non-appearance of antifascists on the scene Jan. 6, played a critical role in the failure of Trump's coup attempt. 1/
Trump had been building the "Antifa/BLM/Violent Left" narrative all year, but he focused on Antifa particularly after he lost the election, and stepped up the vitriol. 2/
It is now apparent that this was part of his scheme to invoke the Insurrection Act amid massive crowd violence. The Jan. 5 timing of the memorandum declaring Antifa a "terrorist organization" was not coincidental. See the resolution's language. /3

This is an amazing piece by @Leah_Sottile: A tribute to our late mutual friend Bill Morlin, and a rumination on the terrible price that comes with covering the right-wing extremist beat.

Here’s my own tribute to Bill.

I also put together this thread on an episode we both covered.

I was a little late to the scene Saturday when CdA police arrested the Patriot Front gang. So I missed getting shots of Thomas Rosseau and a few others. But I still managed to get shots of 21 of the 31 arrested. Thread 🧵 of mug shots and IDs follows.

Another orca thread, from yesterday's multiple SJI west-side visits. I managed to collect some decent footage and impressive vocalizations (via hydrophone) as well as the usual photos. Best of all was getting to spend time around the coolest creatures on the planet. /1
As I mentioned earlier, the calves seemed to be everywhere Monday. They are the most delightful little things. /2
There was a lot of play behavior, including a couple of breaches (my autofocus, alas, failed me). /3
