The agent telling Alex to move away has been at the two stops I witnessed yesterday & Tuesday. A clear pattern here of ICE targeting people during morning commutes.
I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

most of ari asters films are driven by sexual humiliation. in fact, castration seems to be the name of the game for him. see: everything he has ever done, ever.
Ari Aster’s “Eddington” wades with apparent boldness into a slew of issues that remain divisive even five years after the fraught year of 2020, but the film is ultimately driven by sexual humiliation, @tnyfrontrow.bsky.social writes.
The Political Trickery of “Eddington”
Ari Aster’s drama, set in 2020, about conflict between a New Mexico town’s sheriff and its mayor, rips plotlines from the headlines and leaves them in shreds.

My poor cinnamon needs emergency surgery to after ingesting trash. The vet is charging $10,000, which we cannot afford, but going without surgery is not an option. If you have anything to spare, I would appreciate it.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started.

“You can sweep away an encampment, but you’re not sweeping away homelessness. The person is still homeless, they’re just in a different spot.”
DC’s homeless have nowhere to go. Trump might send them to jail.
The president's crackdown is causing fear and uncertainty among the city's unhoused and their advocates.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
