Dark blue background modeled on the Morton salt “girl.” The words at the top are “protect” and “Migrants” - the word “migrants” is large and white and in block letters. At the right of the “girl” who is walking with the salt in the rain with her big umbrella are the words “salt the ice” in cursive.

Photo of a hardcover book. “DEEP Oakland - How Geology Shaped A City” by Andrew Alden. The top of the book cover is dominated by the word “DEEP” which is in a light yellow w a slight orange tinge. Much of the background is in a series of muted greens; it’s quite a beautiful cover, meant to evoke the art and lettering of many decades ago. Behind the words “deep” and “Oakland” are images from old drawings maps and photos of Oakland. Below the words “How Geology Shaped A City” is a map drawn as though the viewer is high in the air looking down on Oakland but it is Oakland about ~150 years ago. At the bottom are the words “Andrew Alden.”

Screen shot from reddit - “The boyfriend of a co-worker was detained while at the factory he works at. He is a US citizen, was born here, and has always lived here. He was detained for several hours because he is of Mexican descent. No other evidence than his skin color and name. I live in North-West Ohio.

Color photo of a big grey kitten with white feet sleeping in front of a window - all we see are his two front legs as they are extended, and his head and ears. His eyes are half closed. In the outside it is sunny and farther away are trees and some houses.

@richardmortimer.bsky.social Thought of you when I saw this cup.
A photograph of the inside of a coffee cup. The cup is charcoal-colored and large. At the bottom of the cup are white and brown and cream stripes and dots and areas. The overall image is as though it is an abstract art painting.

Currently over there outrage about the Portland decree, Gaza, and tweets like this:
Screen shot of a twitter tweet from David Sirota includes this: “Politico reports that Senate Democrats are planning to spend the government shutdown holding a fundraiser at a Napa Valley luxury resort/spa and wine cave, where they will be bankrolling the conservative candidate that they are trying to buy Michigan's Democratic primary for.”

But it led to speculation; what IS the sugar of small dogs?
A small beige Chihuahua mix dog is seen on a bed. We see her black nose and black eyes and her right haunch and a tiny bit of her tail. She is dug into a variety of bedding, incl. a cream blanket and a pale blue blanket.

Made a chocolate cake that was well received. Only one slice left.
Photo of one slice of a chocolate layer cake with chocolate icing, on a white plate which clearly used to have more cake on it. Light is coming from the right. In the background are a tomato and a lemon.

first paragraph of linked Washington Post story: “Federal agents detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a Northwest Washington coffee shop Saturday morning, an incident captured on video by numerous witnesses — including a Washington Post reporter — that showed the officers tackling him to the ground, holding him down and appearing to use a stun gun before driving him away in an unmarked black vehicle.”

paragraph from the article “‘It almost feels like they have a pile of vests and people are throwing on whatever is around,’ said Ella, an immigration court observer in Manhattan who spoke on the condition that she be identified by only her first name out of fear of retaliation. ‘They’re all doing the same thing — they’re waiting outside the hearing rooms, whether or not a case is dismissed, and they are grabbing people.’”

Astonishing.
Jesse Krimes is a multimedia artist whose work explores societal mechanisms of power and control with a focus on criminal and racial justice. While serving a six-year prison sentence he produced and smuggled out numerous bodies of work, established art programs, and co-created artist collectives. He is the Founder and Director of the Center for Art & Advocacy, the first national organization dedicated to supporting justice-impacted creatives. Krimes also successfully led a class-action lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase for charging formerly incarcerated people predatory fees after their release from prison.

The screen shot is words from the free access link to the NYTimes piece and the words are “While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X. He provided the data under condition of anonymity, although his identity has been made public elsewhere. He is an academic who opposes affirmative action and writes often about I.Q. and race.

This part of the Guardian article in the link says: " Money for mass deportations and a border wall As part of Trump’s plan to remove undocumented immigrants from the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) will receive $45bn for detention facilities, $14bn for deportation operations and billions of dollars more to hire an additional 10,000 new agents by 2029. More than $50bn is allocated for the construction of new border fortifications, which will probably include a wall along the border with Mexico."

Notorious and famous 1972 black and white photo of Rolling Stone Keith Richard leaning on a water fountain in US Customs facility. A sign on the wall behind him is centered in the photo. The sign says “Patience please…a drug free America comes first.” Keith Richard was already well-known at this time for his use of recreational drugs. He is wearing a button from the Coca-Cola Company that says “Coke!” The juxtaposition of Richard and the sign was extremely funny and ironic at the time, and since.
