“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Hair ties are her absolute favorites! I can’t find a toy she likes better!!

JaneSlainLane @nyjanelane.bsky.social · 1h

Oh, she eats them, too! They need to be careful, it can wrap around an animal’s intestines. I have to buy extra thick ties or wrap the skinny hair ties together with string. If they’re thick enough, she’ll play with them w/out trying to swallow them.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

RIP to the great Diane Keaton. If you can find it, her book on Clown Paintings - for which she curated a large selection of flea market amateur clown portraits -mostly fantastically creepy - accompanied by the thoughts of famous people regarding clowns - is well worth a look.

Fox is more of a feeling than a cat.
