After I wrote last week's column, I learnt that a neighbour with severe disabilities, an extremely tough & resourceful woman who lived to the full, died in the heatwave. Everyone here is devastated. I can scarcely express my anger towards a mindset that treats people like her as collateral damage. 🧵

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations.

Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.”

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

“If I lost everything I would just work harder and take any job to earn it all back”. Cool story. Try doing that if you’re disabled and bedbound. You know what often causes people to “lose everything”. Sudden catastrophic health issues. You can’t “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” when sick.

Did I not post this here?!!! Blast! Meet Mr. Brown’s cousin from Spain, SEÑOR MARRÓN❤️ I apologize for nothing. #goodomens shouldn’t have opened the door when I knocked

Mr. Brown’s cousin from Spain, Señor Marrón is in town and he spots a scrumptious redhead. The scrumptious redhead is glaring at Mr. Brown as he stands protectively in front of his sentient plushie…er…Angel.

Mr. Brown high tails it out of the bakery as Crowley pulls an Exorcist head rotate to keep staring daggers at his oddly toned nemesis.
The sentient plushie is excitedly picking out a sweet treat while Marrón shoots his shot.

Crowley ignores the cad and indulges his little pączki who finally decides on his chosen dessert! It’s a cake bucket.
Feeds 50 guests.

As The Masher tries yet again to flirt with The Serpent of Eden by slipping him his business card, a not so oblivious angel burns it to ash.
He also tells Crowley next time that man hits on him, he’s going to burn his BEEP starting with his BEEP!

BURN ‘M UP.
