Surprise, surprise: Homeland Security Sec. Noem made up that far-fetched story about a man trying to “eat his own arms" aboard a deportation flight. trib.al/CaTKZgZ
Noem’s fake cannibal is just one of many dangerous lies being peddled by DHS—as calls for her resignation continue to mount.
You could make this up, but you don’t need to.
A split-image portrait of Katherine Johnson, the pioneering Black NASA mathematician: On the left, a black-and-white historical photo from her NASA career in the 1960s shows a smiling middle-aged woman wearing cat-eye glasses and a light-colored dress with white collar and trim, seated at her desk with a globe and papers in the background. On the right, a color photo from 2015 depicts an elderly Katherine Johnson (in her late 90s) seated in a wheelchair during the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, wearing glasses, a dark suit jacket, an orange top, a blue ribbon with the medal, and holding a green item in her lap, as she looks directly at the viewer with a gentle expression. The side-by-side images contrast her youthful professional life with her honored later years.

Today's #PhotographyIsArt share was taken about half an hour before yesterday's image, looking inland instead of out, to sea. I can't decide if it's relaxing or a bit too infernal for comfort! Once again it's #Llandudno #LandscapeChallenge #landscapephotography

Breaking news: Federal agents shot another person in Minnesota on Saturday morning, Gov. Tim Walz said.
It was not immediately clear which federal agency was involved, and the condition of the victim was unknown. This story is developing.
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence
What happened in Minnesota today was not a mistake. It's a deliberate and inevitable outcome of ICE operations - part of the authoritarian script for state violence against citizens.

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.
