The Elderly Squirrel had made a plan. In the mornings, he decided, he would walk to the village square & back. Not awfully far, but far enough. And he would make sure he had a proper conversation with someone too, Old Fox or the Doctor or Mrs Evans.

This is the kind of thinking I’d like to see at the federal level instead of years and years of “we can’t do that, we tried, it won’t work” horse shit. Find a fucking way.
Please enjoy this local news: “Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he is evicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit from a county-owned building where it has occupied an office for about three years but never paid rent…
“We’re going to deport ICE,” Pinsley said at the news conference”
Lehigh County exec says he’s evicting ICE agents from Allentown office, citing 3 years of unpaid rent
Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel’s announcement to evict the ICE agents came shortly after the county’s financial watchdog revealed the agency owes more than $115,000 in rent.

The implications of mass facial recognition systems being used *everywhere* ... The harms, the mistakes, the control over daily lives, the silencing effect it would have over speech, change, democracy, and the peaceful transfer of power. This behavior isn't random. It's a signal.
New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

They know we know they're lying.

They don't care.

They think they're untouchable [legally] . . . and so far, they're right.
"agents told hospital staff that Castaneda Mondragon ... 'purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.'”
A Minnesota man received a life-threatening injury while in ICE custody. It's not clear how he got injured because his memory and ability to communicate are so severely impaired. Agents said "he got his shit rocked." Wild story from @katrinapross.bsky.social sahanjournal.com/health/ice-d...

St. Paul Public Schools reported that two vans carrying students and educators were stopped by ICE last week. Students and parents in urban and suburban school systems have been detained while waiting for buses. A high school senior was picked up at a Minneapolis bus stop last week.
