The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

2026-10-04: Cool and overcast with light drizzle made this afternoon perfect to linger on the porch at Cosmic Café. Closed for five years, reopened unchanged a few months ago, it’s been a favorite of mine for at least 33 years now. So glad it’s back: Tetris parking lot, Buddha's Delight, all of it.

A vegetarian menu is open on a small table. "Slow Down, Meditate" is hand-painted on the back of another booth. The wooden porch floor has painted designs also.

Street view from the covered porch of Cosmic Café in Dallas. Sky is overcast and raindrops are visible in the photo. Trees appear almost glowing in the diffuse daylight.

Vegetable Momo. Fried pleated dumplings arranged around a ramekin of sauce on a bed of lettuce on a blue stoneware plate. I ate all of them.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

The Save Dallas City Hall event gave me an excuse to take the bus downtown and get a Starship Bagel on the walk over to City Hall Plaza. I was surprised at the list of huge names and old money aligning with politicians and architects to fight the small, venal, unimaginative people in that building.

A crowd stands on City Hall Plaza as former mayor Laura Miller speaks. A large window of City Hall above the dais reflects part of the skyline framed by a trapezoid of concrete.

Henry Moore's massive bronze sculpture, The Dallas Piece, looms on the plaza in front of a looming Dallas City Hall. I cropped out the craptastic aluminum porta-barriers encircling the sculpture to "protect" it. They are extremely disrespectful to the artwork.
