Say hello to what will surely be the Pulitzer Prize winning photo this year. A masked ICE agent macing Pastor David Black in Chicago.

I use Awards.com at work. They do a great job. This time, there were a few errors in the 1st proof. In the 2nd proof, there was still a small error I asked them to correct "to appease the Grammar Gods who rule over my heart and soul." This is how they sent back the final (perfect) proof.

And here's little Flagstaff, Arizona! My sister shot this video. Sound up to hear the cars honking in solidarity! She's been out there at every protest. So proud of her!

Yesterday my nephew turned 19. My baby brother's baby. He plays baseball for the College of San Mateo. The man facing away is my father, a major sports guy, who stopped going to spring training every year to come back to CA for the season & watch his grandson's games instead. I LOVE this picture.

Just watched the video of Musk giving the Sieg Heil salute twice in a speech today. It can't be written off as anything else. He wasn't waving or gesturing in some other way. It's clear, and deliberate. And the MAGA crowd? They cheered.
