Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance.
A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.

The inquiry into #WolstonPark Mental Hospital will soon report to the Qld Govt. There’s no guarantee that it will be made public. Hiding the past protects this instution from accountability for historical abuses. I will not rest until theres a reckoning. rememberingrandall.com/2025/08/18/r...
Inquiry into Wolston Park Mental Hospital
The inquiry is the first opportunity for truth and a reckoning of historical atrocities committed at Wolston Park in the twentieth century. But it may not be made public.

Golden tides kiss ancient stone.
Whispers drift where sea winds moan.
Shadows stretch beneath the light.
Dancing waves in morning’s flight.
Storm-cloud hush, a town held still.
Time breathes slow on ocean’s will.
Beauty dwells where waters gleam.
A waking world, a painter’s dream.
Whispers drift where sea winds moan.
Shadows stretch beneath the light.
Dancing waves in morning’s flight.
Storm-cloud hush, a town held still.
Time breathes slow on ocean’s will.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.
Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

‘Extinction crisis’ could see 500 bird species vanish within a century – report
Researchers say urgent conservation efforts will be needed to mitigate the ‘shocking statistic’ that threatens to unravel ecosystems
More than 500 bird species could vanish within the next century, researchers have found, calling for urgent “special recovery programmes” such as captive breeding and habitat restoration to rescue unique species.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”
So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…
It was always a lie.
