Hope ain’t easy, but furbabies help. Trying to make sense of the world, and to help where I can.

🧊✈️ Avelo’s ICE flights appear to be a fiasco, defined by the poor planning, cruel treatment, and serious safety lapses endemic to “ICE Air,” the network of charter carriers and military planes that transport shackled migrants to detention facilities & out of the country. prospect.org/2025/11/17/i...
ICE Air’s Sloppy, Dangerous Deportation Flights - The American Prospect
Poor planning, mechanical issues, serious safety lapses, and the shutdown are taking a toll on Avelo, America’s most famous deportation airline, internal documents show.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

An instructor was removed from teaching at Indiana University bc she taught about white supremacy as part of a course on diversity, human rights, and social justice. So much for academic freedom.

Soon enough we won’t be able to teach about evolution.

I’m heading to court today for my arraignment on ludicrous charges brought against the #Broadview6 related to our protesting of conditions at the Broadview ICE processing facility.

Join us at 12:30 at Federal Plaza to stand up for our right to speak out!

The six include local political figures & hopefuls, like Dem congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, Dem commiteeman Michael Rabbitt & Chicago 40th Ward Chief of Staff Cat Sharp.

Ralliers are chanting "we support the Broadview Six;" placards read "defend protest."

Many older folks in the crowd.

Little Aggie having her afternoon siesta. Yes, she is in fact wearing a little shirt - it’s to protect herself from herself following her spay surgery. Rest up, heal up, baby girl. Many adventures await.

Sometimes you just gotta sit on a little pillow and tune the F out.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
