Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him.

Broke my ankle passing the ball around in pre game warmups for an indoor soccer game
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

The study found homes with less plant life within a 5-foot radius less likely to be destroyed.

This is where I make a minor note that Jewish religious court commentaries have held that the actual "sin of Sodom" (that pushed the Most High to decide to smite it) *wasn't* gay sex, or even angel rape, but a girl subjected to death by scaphism for feeding the poor www.sefaria.org/Sanhedrin.10...
![The relevant text of Sanhedrin 109b from the Talmud (the world's oldest law library in existence, on matters of Jewish religious law and, historically, civil law as well).
The doom of Sodom, per this particular chapter (which details many, many other instances of Sodom and Gomorrah's general policies of "fuck the poor and we will screw visitors in EVERY way possible"):
"There was a young woman who would take bread out to the poor people in a pitcher so the people of Sodom would not see it. The matter was revealed, and they smeared her with honey and positioned her on the wall of the city, and the hornets came and consumed her. And that is the meaning of that which is written: “And the Lord said: Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great [rabba]” (Genesis 18:20). And Rav Yehuda says that Rav says: Rabba is an allusion to the matter of the young woman [riva] who was killed for her act of kindness. It is due to that sin that the fate of the people of Sodom was sealed."
In other words: Young girl was running an illegal soup kitchen (feeding the poor was actually prohibited by law). Her illegal soup kitchen was discovered, a mob dragged her into the streets, smeared honey on her, and tied her outside the city wall to be eaten alive by insects (in what amounted to an ancient Levantine version of the infamous Persian punishment of "the boats"/scaphism).
Forcing a girl to die by scaphism for the "unforgiveable crime" of *feeding the poor so they wouldn't starve* is what doomed Sodom, and by extension its continuing violations of customs and laws requiring the poor and the visitor and the refugee to be protected.
Hmmm, kind of sounds a lot like the present Dysadministration and Christian Nationalists, no?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ypwzxphp2vrumidtfscckz6l/bafkreicb3tflfwyrn6jrhsikomanqkg4u777n62yqofktd4uvvrwwodqua@jpeg)

so back when my dad was working in a Hong Kong children's home aged 18 he had another foreign volunteer friend, Jane. One time they were in the market, and Jane found a really nice cloth with two Chinese characters on, and took it home and made a blouse out of it.

I think very often people do not realize the sheer *scale* of government, particularly the US government.
There are already food banks/depositories in every district & a ton of Democrats have been doing events to support them, but if no one besides a staffer posts about it, no one knows about it.
Even with a massive support, it's not replacing $100 billion in SNAP. We need a functional government!
