ProPublica @propublica.org · 14h
The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

A Virginia mother was detained by ICE after she was unable to immediately recite her Social Security number during a traffic stop, despite reportedly presenting identification and immigration documents. Her teenage daughter recorded the encounter and said goons became aggressive.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

My favorite thing about the Kimberly Guilfoyle donor texts scandal is that it has to be humiliating for her that it’s now public. And it’s got to sting to know that it must have been Eric Deters who leaked her messages instructing him to help her commit tax fraud and cover up the scheme.

For #ReliefWednesday, this C5 BCE Athenian stele is a physical fragment of Phidian brilliance and a historical fragment of the dispersed Giustiniani collection. Breakage stimulates the imagination. As Sondheim wrote: "Nothing's changed / Only maybe slightly rearranged." #AncientBluesky 🏺
ATHENIAN FUNERARY RELIEF OF A HORSEMAN, C. 430-420 BCE. MUSEO GREGORIANO PROFANO

A fragmentary marble funerary relief showing a bearded man in profile facing right, holding the reins of a horse. The man wears an exomis, leaving his right shoulder bare. The heavily muscled horse occupies the right side, its mane carved into crisp ridges. The jagged edges highlight its breakage. The carving radiates the influence of Phidias, echoing the Parthenon. Top right is the engraved mark "1823.C.C. 30", struck when the Cardinal Camerlengo rescued this piece for the Vatican following the dispersal of the C17 Giustiniani collection. This physical fragmentation mirrors the scattering of that great collection. While we deplore such losses, breakage stimulates our imaginations. Dispersal rearranges fragments into new contexts, creating a new kaleidoscopic vision of works of art. To quote Sondheim: "Everything's different / Nothing's changed / Only maybe slightly rearranged."

Storm God Mosaic Mask
Maya. Guatemala.  c. AD 200-600.
jadeite and shell tesserae set over a wooden core with resin.
Collection: The Al Thani Collection.
Now on display at the Hôtel de la
Marine, Paris.
Look closely at the image: spiral eyes, broad nose, round earspools and a parted mouth lined with orange shell. That orange is spondylus, a Pacific spiny oyster.
Conservators studying a closely related jade mosaic mask from a royal tomb at Chochkitam, Guatemala, noted that spondylus turns warm and flesh-like when backlit, making the face seem to come alive. That mask lay on a king's chest and has been read as a manifestation of the storm god.

Student Protests Erupt Over Mishandling Of Gang-Rape Allegations - PopularResistance.Org
Mass protests erupted at Cornell University on Monday, with students criticizing officials’ handling of gang-rape allegations, demanding the president’s resignation and painting “SMASH THE PATRIARCHY” on an administration building. Thousands of students and faculty gathered for a demonstration, sparked by the high-profile case of a former student known as Jane Doe, who said in a recent lawsuit that she was plied with drugs and raped at a fraternity house in 2024. The case has prompted international outrage and intense scrutiny of college fraternities and sexual violence on US campuses.
