The only thing that I have to say is that I hope that it scares some yt people into realizing that the leopards are absolutely coming for them too.
U.K. tourist Becky Burke finally returned home to Wales on Tuesday after spending 19 days in a U.S. ICE detention facility. Her parents relayed their daughter’s description of her release from ICE, saying how she was taken in “leg chains, waist chains and handcuffs,” which left her “traumatized.”

A reminder that hospitality and care for the stranger in your land is a religious duty throughout the Bible.
The Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande received a letter from Trump’s DHS today accusing them of human trafficking because they run a shelter for migrants—a shelter paid for, in part, *by* DHS. It is an attack on the freedom of religion, and on the trustworthiness of the govt. youtu.be/7Wl4f0bA4MI

My younger daughter and I went to the symphony tonight, and it was lovely, and I honestly wondered how many more concerts will be held there as our country collapses.

He zeroed out IMLS every year of his first term. Congress funded it every year and even increased its funding. Now we see if he can destroy it via Executive Order.
Trump signed an executive order to dismantle seven federal agencies: the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Institute of Museum and Library Services,

I keep thinking much of this nonsense could be over in a week if the big donors whose wealth depends on a stable economy picked up their phones and called the members of Congress they fund and said “not another dime until Musk is out.”
