Local HS kids walked out of class and gathered at a busy intersection. They brought instant tears to my eyes!
What universe are we living in?
āBluesky user Micah made the point more clearly: āthe president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system.ā

Man is released from detention after a judge ordered ICE leader into court
āThe judge went on to rake #ICE over the coals.
He identified ā96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases.ā & added āICEās noncompliance is almost certainly substantially understated.ā
āICE has likely violated more court orders in 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.ā

I left a message for Sen Schumer about funding for ICE/DHS.
Heās not going to take advice from one private citizen, but my thought is that since Elon Muąæk was allowed to lay waste to govt agencies via the fake DOGEā-shouldnāt Congress feel empowered to get rid of DHS?

Dear All ā I've posted some items today, and for the rest of the day, will likely be absent. As many of us are, I'm frankly washed out (and sick at heart) with news of recent days and need to take some self-mending time away from social media. There's a stack of interlibrary loan books at my elbow, demanding I read them before they become due, so my focus for the rest of the day will likely be on that reading. With good wishes to all.

A whole lot of us are full to the gills with anger now at seeing the cruelty and injustice unfolding in our country, paid for with our tax dollars, as we're lied to and lied to and lied to again.
And as loud self-professed Christians defend all of that.
So don't try to talk to me about that smashed car window and that fit of anger and don't shame yourself by saying it justifies the public execution of an innocent man.
Just don't.
