happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

Lights coming on in Sussex Street: a favourite place in Cambridge, mixed media work (sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition). Buildings delightfully designed by architect E.R.Barrow in the 1920s and '30s. Green pantiles particularly effective. #art #mixedmedia #cambridge

Another Cambridge street painting. I think these old views of people dressed up and thronging the streets in celebration of their exams being over are a bit of an antidote to what's going on now (original sold a long time ago). Direct watercolour no predrawing. #art #watercolour #mayweek
Watercolour drawn direct with the brush showing Trinity Street, Cambridge during May Week. Sold a while ago.

Eris: I would like to state that... restaurants should not try to make their version of ketchup. Heinz got that good good. Unless you got that recipe on lock? It's just sad tomato soup.

Ingrid: Heinz has high fructose corn syrup- why? I avoid that at all costs. Rather have homemade.

Dave: So buy Simply Heinz which is the exact same recipe but with cane sugar

Ingrid: Not a ketchup fan anyway. But thanks.
