A stormy sunrise.
#BlueSkyArtShow #Clouds #Photography #EastCoastKin #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDramatic
In the foreground are the silhouettes of three large winter trees, with smaller trees and shrubs behind them. Behind the trees, the sunrise has turned the sky into stripes of orange and cream. Above that are mottled storm clouds that are red and grey. At the top, and to the right, there is a streak of light grey sky.

Perhaps the ultimate deal should be that after any "reforms" are *permanently* codified, ICE funding would be appropriated from now on a *biweekly* (or at most monthly) basis so that Congress will hold a fiscal Sword of Damocles over the agency ....

Federal agents arrested the former CNN anchor Don Lemon on Thursday on charges that he violated federal law during a Jan. 18 protest against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, his lawyer said. The case had been rejected last week by a magistrate judge. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...
A headline reads: "Don Lemon Is Arrested Over Church Protest." Don Lemon wears a blue hat with "Lemon Nation" in gold script, glasses, and a quilted jacket while holding a microphone with "DL" logos. Other individuals are blurred in the background. Photo by Jamie Kelter Davis for The New York Times.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

Alexander Hamilton warned that when a government betrays its people, the right of self-defense remains.

“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is no resource left but the original right of self-defense.”(Federalist Papers, No. 28)

Happy Wednesday! We are halfway through the week! Our sunrise today wasn't that much different from yesterday, but I did this one horizontally just to change things up. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

"Fear

Fear passes from man to man
Unknowing,
As one leaf passes its shudder
To another.

All at once the whole tree is trembling,
And there is no sign of the wind."
