Federal agents are now monitoring online criticism of ICE, tracking message boards and community posts around the clock, according to new AP reporting. And they’re not just tracking immigrants. They’re monitoring Americans online too.

For treasured broken ornaments, transform them into keepsakes like a mosaic in a clear vase or wreath, create new jewelry, or use pieces for textured art; for disposal, safely wrap sharp glass in newspaper/cardboard, seal it, and trash it, as most are not recyclable.
I have broken ornaments from 1950s that feel like they are part of my history…

AI kitchen slop. I saw this Instagram video from inspiredtaste.net, a fave cooking site, showing their recipes used in AI bogus recipes. (It played for me tho I don’t have IG.) Beware of recipe sources that seem legit; even cookbooks are being written by AI😳 Verify! www.instagram.com/p/DR5opO9EhE...

"Records reviewed by AP detail online monitoring, arrests in New Orleans immigration crackdown"

Our nation is shamed by ICE and the Chump admin, controlled by the Project 2025 gang and RW Oligarchs who want to rule the world, and sadly, do to some extent.

It's been weeks since I had a great day of birding in Central Park. But today I got several good looks, including my local favorite--the Northern Flicker! I was surprised to hear its inimitable cry and thrilled to capture it in the morning light! 😎😎😎 #CentralPark #birding #Flicker

My Dad was there that day.

The day that 2,403 service members and civilians were killed.

And why would ANY of US be surprised when the ASSHOLES in the White House break laws, behave unethically, do shitty things. It is and always will be (until prison) their norm.

With this typical bullshit from Trump, this hopefully gives us momentum to keep our eyes on the prizes: BOTH HOUSES IN NOV 2026 and the PRESIDENCY IN NOV 2028. THAT is a must for us to achieve.
This too..😤 literally trying to erase our indigenous and African-American brothers and sisters. I’m so sickened to have to live in this country..!!

our library allows patrons to choose aliases as hold-shelf identifiers. 📚
I think this is a really important thing about libraries that many people may not realize. not only not tracking, but ideally really making an effort to maintain privacy on hold shelves as well. Corporations and many government entities are attacking our privacy; support libraries in preserving it.
