Another day, another reason I am too angry to talk to my mother who voted for this shit.
ICE officers reportedly shot a 25-year-old named Carlos Jimenez.

He was shot after getting out of his car to tell the agents, who had pulled over a vehicle, that children would soon be gathering in that spot for the school bus.
Report: ICE shot a US citizen trying to help kids
According to his lawyer, immigration officers shot Carlos Jimenez after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

“High Country Quiet”

Snow settles into the folds of Summit County—mountains and clouds mirroring each other in still, deliberate rhythm.

Finally getting my #DVD collection organized. I hauled these to multiple army bases across the US and Iraq when I was a combat medic under #DADT. Oh hey @margaretcho.bsky.social

This was the family ritual, growing up in the 80s. Tally it up. Check the inside of the Snickers wrappers to spell out a word to mail in for a prize.
We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

CNN has kissed the ring.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

There are people mocking trump questioning if he'll go to heaven. But I get it. It's human nature to question one's legacy and one's future. When I die, I want my eyes to be closed and my heart to be open, and I can honestly say that I am not in that place.

The explosions are over at Mount St. Helens. Now, the rebuilding has begun.

ABC News's Tom Schell talks with Portland State University experts on the eruptive events of the last few days and the growth of the new lava dome in the crater.
