Miss my homestate NY, love my adopted hometown DC. 🇺🇲🇯🇲 I take pictures of the sky. GenX. Sports obsessed (especially ⚽️, USWNT, EPL Liverpool, NWSL). Hey. What's going on?

I agree with the point made by to OP. But I think we should assume that this child has bruises from how this ICE goon is manhandling her in this picture.

Clarksdale is known as the birthplace of the blues, and legend has it the crossroads is where bluesman Robert Johnson sold his soul for his talent. Today, Mississippi is at a crossroads of its own.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only GenXer alive who remembers the TV movie "This House Possessed" where the house was basically a very smart, obsessive stalker.

Ophthalmologist Dr. Agatha Aboe led the medical campaign in Ghana to eliminate trachoma (leading infectious cause of preventable blindness globally). It worked. Ghana became the 1st country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate the disease, 2018. #WorldSightDay #WomenInSTEM
A low-angle, close-up portrait of renowned Ghanaian ophthalmologist and public health pioneer Dr. Agatha Aboe. Celebrated for leading the historic medical campaign that made Ghana the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate trachoma in 2018, she is captured looking upward and to the left with an optimistic, serene smile. Her black hair is neatly styled with shaved, patterned sides. She wears distinctive semi-translucent, light-blue-framed glasses and bright orange, teardrop-shaped beaded earrings that offer a vibrant color contrast. Her top is a simple, high-collared bright blue shirt. The background features a soft-focus, minimalist golden-yellow architectural column under warm, natural sunlight. The tight composition and uplifting lighting establish an empowering, visionary mood, symbolizing her historical significance as a leading global voice for Women in STEM who now exports eye-health roadmaps to other endemic nations

NEW: This week laid bare the biggest lie in American politics — the claim that the GOP is pro-life. The Army plans to execute Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad on Dec. 3, and Pete Hegseth says the public will be able to watch. The midterms are 25 days away.

Make No Mistake — the GOP Isn’t Pro-Life

I suspect the answers are: No. Maybe, depending on how SCOTUS wants to treat The District on the dayit shows up on the docket. Yes.

I enjoy helping my fellow DC residents exercise our rights to the franchise. If you're a federal worker, you can take leave to be a poll worker. And it will be the easiest "yes" you get from the ethics office.

Many NGs mean well and realized quickly that they are not doing any good here. It's more vacation than not. But I don't want to sugarcoat it, there are more than a few who are racist jerks and wannabe Clint Eastwoods who need to go back home to their own mess.

Honestly, based on the location, Foggy Bottom, I think coincidence. My answer would change for a different part of the city. The NG walking around Foggy Bottom/GWU are pretty bored, tbh.
