I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.
"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"
Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

I’m wondering the subject of illustrators. If you search for me, books I illustrated—but did not write—come up. I don’t think I deserve settlement money from those titles. But as a rights holder, do I need to file a claim alongside the author just to make sure this atm pays out as it’s supposed to?
