ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

I would throw money at a t-shirt that says in all caps “TAKE A LOOK, IT’S IN A BOOK” over a rainbow.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

Swapping out your grass for drought-tolerant plants is good for the environment, but it can be costly. LADWP's recently launched Landscape Efficiency Assistance Program can help you do it for free.

I saw cod liver on tinned fish reviews, and part of this exercise is to push me beyond the usual things found in my grocery store. This was one of those immigrant-coded grocery stores. Unfortunately there isn't one near me

Today's tinned fish acquisitions. Not from the fish store but the grocery store next door

Baltic sprats in a black tin, mackerel in a Provencal sauce in a red tin and cod liver in a white tin

Margaret Thatcher recognised the need to provide asylum for refugees, as well as the need to distinguish them from immigrants. No hope of that from her successors, of course.

This might be the single greatest beer name and label of all time

I am drinking well tonight, friends

A beer by Garage Project called Rain, Steam, and Speed; the label riffs off the JMW Turner painting of the same name with a steam engine rushing through the landscape

Beer label blurb for the craft nerds. It’s an “English style IPA” that is “from back when malt mattered”

Last harvest for the year from the back garden (we've had two nights of frost in a row).

Tomatoes, two wee courgettes, tomatillos and kale

Also, I think I've figured out why my tomatoes didn't do so well.

Look at these marigolds and nasturtium and calendula

My poor courgette plant met frost
