The Grim Squeaker 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇺🇦

If your idea of greatness includes cages, cruelty, and repeating history’s darkest chapters, then congrats, mission accomplished.

And f*ck you!

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.

When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

#HappyPride for the next 335 days, too.

The shortlist was down to two, the tub of lard failed to make the cut.

Charlize said what we were all thinking—just with better lighting.

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

Immigration raids leave crops unharvested, California farms at risk

ICE raids are leaving fields full of rotting food in California.
Even the documented workers are not showing up.

And guess what? You’ll still want your strawberries then you’ll pay more for imported ones.

This isn’t border security.
It’s cruel economic sabotage, dressed up as patriotism.

It is nearly 7 o'clock, how can it still be 32c. 💦

The weather must be affecting me, I'm eating salad. Voluntarily.

Why Did a 75-Year-Old Man in Poor Health Just Die in ICE Custody? Isidro Perez came to the United States from Cuba nearly 60 years ago. This is who Stephen Miller is going after now?

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.

But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

Details in my new piece:

IDF soldiers have been pictured in Gaza wearing dead women’s clothes, riding dead children’s bikes, posing in destroyed buildings with “Death to Arabs” graffitied on the walls, and signing missiles destined for Gaza

But we must not say “Death to the IDF” because it upsets them

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. “These immigrants will infest our country.” Said the grandson of a German immigrant, the son of a Scottish immigrant, currently married to a Slovenian immigrant and divorced from a Czech immigrant. You can’t make this shit up.

Ciara's artwork is gorgeous, I have four pieces and just ordered two more; I may have to get a bigger wall. 🧱

So rush on over folks, it's always good value, 10% off makes it even better. Worthwhile supporting this lovely lady ..... if you don't, she will pursue you to your grave.

Support Irish artists! We have several Ciaraíoch pieces at home. Can't recommend her work enough!

Israeli Soldiers Killed at Least 410 People at Food Aid Sites in Gaza This Month The U.S.-backed system for food aid in Gaza is a “tactical intervention in humanitarian wrapping,” per an Israeli professor.

Israeli Soldiers Killed at Least 410 People at Food Aid Sites in Gaza This Month theintercept.com/2025/06/27/i.... How many senators and congressmen will talk now about "helping democratic Israel?" Because helping Israel in its "right to self-defense" is nothing but heinous genocide.

When Will the West Stop Exploiting Women’s Rights for Imperial Aims? Nothing about the Israel-US war on Iran was about ‘liberating women.'

"When Will the West Stop Exploiting Women’s Rights for Imperial Aims?"

Powerful piece from Fatima Bhutto, who says nothing about the US and Israel attacks on Iran were about 'liberating' Iranian women:

Scientists create peanut butter and jellyfish -- because they can No, this isn't the newest sandwich craze. It's about finding alternate food sources for aquarium-kept jellyfish.

I believe something similar was very popular in Germany, during the '30s & '40s. Maybe Philippson could call her plans "Labour's Born"?
