Let's take a minute to discuss how hard it was to find pictures of rats that looked even remotely menacing. The stock photographers will not be caught taking pictures of rats that make them look scary. The shark photographers could learn a thing or two.

That the Estancia ICE facility would lose detainees as it operates without a contract is “striking,” said immigration attorney Zoe Bowman. "The Trump administration is doing absolutely everything they can to detain as many people as possible and fill ICE detention beds,” she said.

Newly released data shows sharp decline of inmates at New Mexico ICE facility • Source New Mexico
The apparent decline coincides with an expired contract at the facility and bucks the norm of ICE facilities nationwide seeing increases.

He wants you to hate immigrants because it keeps you from recognizing that he’s the problem.

It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
