My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack.
The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

8AM lecture topic: A.I.
Had a student majoring in graphic design argue persuasively(!) the college is endangering the programs and careers its students are paying $$$$ for by using A.I. to create all its marketing material.
Higher ed's complicity in job obsolescense is bugging me now.

That night when Toad went to bed he thought the biggest thoughts that he could think. Toad thought about giant sunflowers. He thought about tall oak trees. He thought about high mountains covered with snow.

The comments do not disappoint. Mayo clinic! 😆 Assault and vinegar!
Look if anybody’s ever been victimized by a sandwich while they were wearing a bulletproof vest & armed, you know. That’s not an experience you ever forget or forgive. The night terrors. The shakes you catch in the day. The flashbacks to the scent of onions & mustard assaulting you.

Chicago cyclists bought out all street vendors so they could go home and be safe from ICE. The cyclists then distributed the food among those in need throughout the city.
