When it comes to the ecological toll of war, we all pay it. The bombing of oil refineries or just about anything else is an ecological disaster that the world simply cannot bear. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/w...

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest. Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car. Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.

Louisiana lawmakers want to crack down on homelessness. Their proposed bills this session failed.
Two controversial bills that would have banned homeless encampments in New Orleans and beyond failed to come up for final votes during the legislative session.

Neighbors tell me 6 construction workers were detained in an ICE raid at a Kenner construction site on Loyola Drive. ICE has not verified any details with me just yet. This comes after the Trump Administration suggested a pause on ICE raids on work sites.

Children as young as *four* are being put in the position of representing themselves without lawyers/parents present in front of immigration judges in cases that will determine whether they are deported. gothamist.com/news/4-year-...
“The reason we’re here is because the government of the United States wants you to leave the United States,” Judge Ubaid ul-Haq, presiding from a courtroom on Varick Street, told a group of about a dozen children on a recent morning on Webex.

“It’s my job to figure out if you have to leave,” ul-Haq continued. “It’s also my job to figure out if you should stay.”

The parties included a 7-year-old boy, wearing a shirt emblazoned with a pizza cartoon, who spun a toy windmill while the judge spoke. There was an 8-year-old girl and her 4-year-old sister, in a tie-dye shirt, who squeezed a pink plushy toy and stuffed it into her sleeve. None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys, only shelter workers who helped them log on to the hearing.

Do yourself a favor: take a moment to explore the linked 1.5 BILLION pixel image (4.3 GB file) of the Andromeda galaxy, which showcases >100 million stars. And to think its just part of a single galaxy out of 200,000,000,000+ galaxies in the universe. 👇FULL RES HERE👇 esahubble.org/images/heic1...
***FOLLOW LINK FOR FULL IMAGE***
"This image, captured with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — otherwise known as M31.

This is a cropped version of the full image and has 1.5 billion pixels. You would need more than 600 HD television screens to display the whole image.

It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years."
