By law, Customs and Border Patrol's jurisdiction extends from the US border 100 miles inland. Minneapolis is 130 MILES AWAY from the nearest border (Lake Superior), OUTSIDE OF THEIR JURISDICTION. They have NO AUTHORITY to be operating within Minneapolis.

Map of the United States that shows the 100-mile boundary of Customs and Border Patrol jurisdiction, all cities that fall within that hundred mile boundary, and the location of Minneapolis that falls OUTSIDE of the boundary.

Sound familiar? We are in an historic time, and how we respond will be recorded in history for the generations that follow. We cannot stand by and let this happen again.

Entry from the Diary of Anne Frank, January 13, 1943: "Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. ... Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

Imagine evangelical "Christian" Mike Johnson characterizing Bishop Budde's plea for mercy for the vulnerable and disenfranchised as "radical ideology". I can't wait until he reads the other "radical" stuff Jesus said.

The Spanish language version of whitehouse(.)gov, which was available the day before the inauguration, has been removed. All that remains is "PAGE NOT FOUND" and a button labeled "GO HOME" which returns you to the home page with a picture of convicted felon Donald Trump pointing his finger.

An early single strip with prehistoric characters:

Comic strip with two characters discussing a plan to use a lever to roll a boulder off a cliff to kill prey. One character jumps on the lever to roll the boulder but the lever acts as a springboard sending the character over the cliff instead.

Hi! Just found your neolithic clothing work on ancient-cities.com and found it VERY useful as reference material for characters I'm working on. Tried to message you but couldn't so I'm just posting here. I'd love to learn a little more about accurate depictions of mesolithic/neolithic clothing. 🙂

All while an unelected billionaire threatens his political enemies with the "appropriate penalty" for "treason".

Couldn't find the artist on this one but the sentiment is right on target.

Most people don't realize how little Mike Johnson is until they have a familiar reference to compare him to...

Or this one? I, personally, find Bluesky to be very entertaining, informative, and useful but I understand that not everyone might. How is this question intolerant?

While I might block this user's account based on the content they post, how did this particular photo of a full moon come to be labeled "Intolerance" by the Bluesky Moderation service? What am I missing here?

If your beliefs aren't represented by the people in this photograph, don't worry. You'll be given the opportunity to convert.
