For those who don’t get it, ARMY was sharing “baking recipe links” for a concert livestream and we were 99% convinced this person was a company employee trying to shut the links down. He didn’t get any baking links …

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Kafka On The Shore is a book by Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. It's a fantasy novel and one of the main characters is named Kafka. There is a song in the story titled Kafka On The Shore. And there the woods plays a role in the story. It's complex and filled with metaphysics and riddles.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I haven't seen him for a while, but he wandered through the garden today and came to say, "Hi" to me.

New from me at Cato: I go through the numerous and massive First Amendment and academic-freedom violations of Trump's proffered "compact" with universities and then talk about the mechanism by which it would be enforced, by way of what I describe as a "retroactive push-button guillotine."

I think you should be able to award posts different amounts of likes cause sometimes you see a post and think "that's at least a three heart post"
