A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Since I like showing how I make these, here you go.
Started off fairly simple. Kirby, Walter, Meta Knight, and the sky were painted from scratch. I modelled the mountains and hills in blender and then did massive paintovers on them, adding colors and a bunch of plants.

a few months ago, i was told trump never drew anything 🤷♂️
“One day [trump] sat on the plane with me. We were talking about Syria, and he drew a map of the Mideast for me. And it was a perfect map,” Kennedy told me. “Then he drew in the troop strength of each country, and also the troop strength on various borders.”
NEW: When RFK Jr. first told Trump that Tylenol might cause autism, the president wanted to tweet out a warning. Kennedy told him not to do that. There was nuance, and the drug companies would push back. “I don’t give a shit about that,” Trump responded. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Just so we're clear. Bombing or starting a war with Venezuela without Congressional approval would be an illegal act. Military officers are within their rights to refuse such an order.

Trump has done *nothing* to make the case for why he is murdering people in the seas and contemplating an invasion of Venezuela. Bush at least lied to US for months before invading Iraq.
Trump had found an issue more unpopular than his handling of inflation - attacking Venezuela:

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.
Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...
