I still can't get a straight answer on what they think yelling at her will do.

My 2yo just informed me that her favorite food is gummy bears wrapped in salami. Then she held eye contact while wrapping a gummy bear in salami and eating it.

Babysat the thaw of a red bucket last night and this morning. Auntie caught me at the sink just as I was setting up to clean the guts and took over.

There was a small back and forth when she questioned my age AND heritage because she didn’t trust me to clean them. 😏 😊 Good!

And yes, I eat them!

One of the nastiest things from these nasty pieces of work has been the lie that kidlit creatives, teachers & librarians are somehow grooming kids.

Statistically, a parent, guardian, or other relative is more likely to be the perpetrator: www.nationalchildrensalliance.org/media-room/n...

Those tickets in Chicago are going for $150 a seat. This is not a good use of money. You could send that ticket money to Gaza relief orgs and do more good. You want to protest? Don't give her money or publicity.

The sadly hilarious thing about this is that the protests are publicity for her book. They do nothing to hold anyone accountable, these tickets are not cheap and coverage of the disruptions is selling her book. This is not just ineffective, it's actually counter productive.

Harris:

"Yeah everyone, YOU go down to 1600 and fight for this country.

I've got a book tour to do, so let me make my money in peace.

And don't bring up the fact that I supported a genocide while I was Vice President and that I cared more about AIPAC $$ than winning the election. "

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Hundreds of Haitians came to Greeley, Colorado, looking for a place to stay and a good job at JBS, the largest meat producer in the world.

Instead, they found squalid housing and an unsafe workplace.

Now, they’re being deported.

Haitian immigrants went to Colorado for the promise of jobs. What they found is being called human trafficking.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

I've been fascinated by the high rate of abusers, but the con artist numbers have also been climbing fast

Since its FOIA Friday, I’d be interested in the rental car receipts for these vehicles they’re plowing through traffic all over the country. Wonder if DHS is springing for the damage waivers or paying out huge bills on insurance claims from the rental companies.

Chicago: 🧊 is kidnapping people again this morning, this time including a WGN reporter. Lincoln and Foster.

Jim Daley @jimdaleywrites.bsky.social · 2d

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
