US Mint in Philadelphia presses final pennies as the 1-cent coin gets canceled The U.S. Mint on Wednesday ended production of the penny, a change made to save money and because the 1-cent coin that could once buy a snack or a piece of candy had become increasingly irrelevant.

An unwrapped tamale.

An unwrapped tamale.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

To those who've felt unlovable:

This is often a painful aftermath of not having support when you needed it most. I hope you find ways to love all parts of you, but especially the parts that felt rejected or like they they didn't belong.

β€œHer car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.”

Terrifying!

But that’s the point, I guess.

So many stories.

Absolutely disgraceful.

ICE Is Hiring Literally Anybody, and It’s Terrifying Many recruits have criminal backgrounds or can’t pass open-book exams on officer conduct, yet they’re allowed to tear children from their beds at night.

Some failed drug testing, have disqualifying criminal backgrounds, or don’t meet the academic requirements to serve … one recruit had previously been charged with strong-arm robbery and battery stemming from a domestic violence incident.

A TikTok video viewed 3.6 million times claims to show Hurricane Melissa devastating Jamaica.

But the video was posted before Melissa even made landfall, and the scenes in the compilation are all from past storms in Italy, Mexico and the United States.

Regardless of politics or agendas, any leader who consistently evades uncomfortable topics by repeatedly saying β€œI’m unaware,” is undermining his/her own authority to even the most loyal blind followers.

Avoidance will devour ambition.

Every Republican in US history would be appalled that one of their own, an elected official who swore an oath to the Constitution, says (with a smile) that a President may bypass it with no objection from said official whose job includes oversight of the executive branch. 🀬

How Hurricane Melissa got so dangerous so fast As the storm threatens Jamaica, "the role climate change has played in making Hurricane Melissa incredibly dangerous is undeniable."

β€œIt will take time for scientists to determine exactly how much #ClimateChange supercharged #Melissa, but they can already say the storm has been feeding on warm ocean temps made up to 800 times more likely by global heating…The hotter the ocean gets, the more energy that can transfer into a storm.”
