I haven't. I forgot about the paste. I'll do that now, thanks!

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.

Sitting here with an ice pack on my hand as a bee stung me. I did an ice pack at work but the swelling continued. I also did Benadryl and Tylenol so I hope I don't fall asleep before my dinner arrives. It's been years since I was stung. Not a fan.

Other than my volunteer shift, maybe some pear picking, and chores, I plan on resting. How about you?

As terrible as everything is right now, I find some comfort in Mother Nature's stunning beauty. Today was a picture perfect morning to shoot the setting moon.

A thread for your viewing pleasure.

Fall color X bright blue sky X brilliant moon =😍

A nearly full, white moon (and the not-full part mostly hidden by bright red leaves on the bottom right) in a brilliant blue sky.

I know the job market is rough right now, but if anyone has leads on part-time project management work and/or knowledge translation (e.g., infographics, writing), DM me; I have a friend whose entire department was just laid off.

Do you carry documents that prove your citizenship everywhere you go? Cause I sure the fuck don't, and to do it would need to carry birth certificate, previous marriage certificate, and name change order to prove the man on my ID is the baby girl on my birth certificate.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.

No wine last night as I was so tired but I did have chocolate. Thanks to everyone who reached out. That helped. ❤️

Since our country's founding, domestic military deployment has been strictly limited by federal law — and for good reason.

Two photos on top of each other, each of a woman in an orange shirt sitting, speaking mid-sentence in front of a laptop. Top photo is captioned "One of our foundational principles as a country is that the military should not be policing civilians." Bottom photo is captioned "And that is important for so many reasons, including our individual rights and liberties."

I was stressing big time last night - health, finances, family, etc. Today, at work, has not been any better. Tonight will involve wine, chocolate, or both.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

It is not insurrection to disagree with the president.
It is not insurrection to call the president a soulless piece of shit.
It is not insurrection to say a damp dishcloth would be a less destructive occupant of the Oval Office.
It is not insurrection to demand a better president.

And it is not insurrection to remind the people carrying out unconstitutional and unlawful orders that "I was following orders" has never been a good defense for doing evil.

TLDR: Judge Immergut GRANTS a 2nd TRO blocking the Trump admin from sending ANY federalized troops from ANY state into Oregon/Portland. (Full hearing thread below)

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 5d

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

This is from 2 weeks ago, at the FreeBee Market. I'm the one with gray hair and wearing a mask. They week we had about 2 dozen cases of bread to give away. It was wild!!!!

This picture appeared in a local online newspaper. They did an article about the FreeBee Market.

2 women in yellow FreeBee aprons, standing outside in front of a table loaded with an assortment of packaged bread.

Don't let anyone tell you what the rest of your life should look like. Find your instincts, learn to trust them. Pay attention to possibilities and know that you're an example of what's possible for others. If you're not embracing your weird, maybe start now because you'll want that for your 40s.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.
