I wonder if this makes anyone think back to when this ICE treatment on white people today was common for police to do to blacks? The police who treated blacks this way have become ICE employees. When you don’t fight for all, they only come for you next.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Green onions and scallions are the exact same thing. Scallops are what you make with potatoes and if you meant shallots they are different, the bulk of a shallot has a purple tint.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oe2ceaq3mucnnjky3emvhg2q/bafkreidsr7rnj7qd65elecu6rzqowxa5dzjdf52zx7uwvccju7bnbrgzgm@jpeg)

One more London one, an oil on canvas of #Leadenhall Market. My wandering around the City of London in the '90s was a revelation. I thought Leadenhall particularly wonderful and did several paintings there although this one was mostly worked on at home. Sold in an exhibition.

Another archive drawing from a sketching visit to London. Not sure where my vantage point was: maybe up on the National Gallery steps. Details scribbled in as I sketched. There's another similar one stored away somewhere, slightly different view.

Display ICE deterrent signs to warn them from entering establishments. Install security cameras everywhere in case they get out of line.
If one captures ICE's face without a mask, print it & post it everywhere. The goal is to shame in infamy.
