ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

🇦🇩 I learn something new again. Andorra is a tiny landlocked country in the Pyrenée mountains between France and Spain. It is co-headed by Emmanuel Macron, president of France and Spanish Bishop of Urgell.

Known for being no VAT, A tax haven and A great place to shop.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

My first post on Flashes. If you’ve seen me on CartographyRoom on Insta, you’ll know that I like maps, GIS, cartography, and maps on postage stamps. Maps represent the human instinct to find place and to define space. I welcome cordial discussions about map aesthetics and history on this space.

Walking in my hood. The #travelboast video shows a car, but I actually walked 4 miles, 7827 steps according to #StepTracker app. Doctor's order: Exercise more.
Doesn't hurt to have a beet taco at #MarVistaGrabAndGo and reward myself with a passion fruit lychee jelly green tea from #YumeTea.
