I'm learning how to draw and paint. I haven't done any of this since secondary school in the 1980s. It's so soothing.

I'd have to understand all the factors here before making any guesses.
But yeah, WTF. We humans are weird AF.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noemโs impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
When you consider Greenlandโs entire population is only 56,500, this is a staggering and historic turnout.
Thousands seen here marching to protest at the US Consulate on the island.
An entire nation united in defiance against a foreign adversary.

Thanks, @alliebrosh.bsky.social . Honestly, I think I might need to make this into a wallet card so I can point to the number when applicable.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Yearโs Eve. And like Renรฉe Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need yโall to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The text says he saw ICE agents circling a young Hispanic woman and told an agent to stop harassing her. He says the agent got in his face, pointed a gun at him, and asked if he was afraid. The pastor says he was then handcuffed, put in the back of an SUV, and told, โWell, youโre white, you wonโt be any fun anyway.โ Below the quote is a video still from MSNBC showing a middle-aged man with glasses speaking from a home office with bookshelves and rainbow-colored blankets on chairs behind him. A banner reads โBREAKING NEWS: MINNEAPOLIS PASTOR SAYS HE WAS DETAINED BY ICE,โ with โKaty Tur Reportsโ and MSNBC branding.
Theyโre not even trying to hide the white supremacy any more.
