This is absolutely the truth. Donald Trump has primed our young men and so has the Tate Brothers into thinking it’s perfectly OK to rape young women and we aren’t going to take it anymore. Vote blue let’s put a stop to this horrible administration.

Our pomegranate tree is having a generous year, and I am enjoying the practice of popping the seeds out of the fruit. Do you know the trick of running a knife around the shoulders and taking off the end(s) before breaking it into sections?

Update on Pedro Mendoza Chávez: While he was in the hospital, ICE refused to let his wife see or speak to him, and an officer told her he had fallen. Pedro, 63, says agents kicked him to the ground. Instead of being in a hospital, he's at an ICE detention facility in Taylor, Texas.

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.
A chart that shows a timeline of ICE immigration enforcement against different significant events (Los Angeles raids, Minneapolis and Chicago raids), with a line in late March 2026 that says "New enforcement strategy begins" before a peak of over 1,500 daily arrests in July 2026.

Um, guys - HUGE ethical issues with feeding your own research into an AI. Yes, even if it’s your own. Because there ms no such thing as totally acting alone when you do real research - you’re fed by, & feed in turn, a community. (Including your subjects if they’re other humans.)
