On this Disability Day of Mourning, let’s honor Wael Tarabishi, a disabled man who died when ICE took his caregiver away.
Wael told them he would die without his father who was his “arms, legs & lungs”.
ICE took him anyways.
Wael died 3 months later:

I've just watched "I Bid You Peace" a 5 part documentary about the rise and fall of the Frugal Gourmet - including the rape and assault accusations of young adolescent boys that he settled out of court
that was a RIDE as someone who grew up in that era adjacent to a similar abusive priest
A lot of dunking on Klein (in ways that I think go way too far) for this post and I agree that Platner’s Nazi stuff has to be acknowledged. I also see why he’s confusing in a way because he’s been vocal about supporting Maine’s POC. He thinks he can maintain a tent that big. He can’t.

At least 115 people, most of them likely children, were killed in a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran on Saturday, health officials and state media said. It was not immediately clear which country hit the school. Our reporters are trying to confirm details of the attack. trib.al/HxXybV9

While it’s a little surprising, it does make a lot of sense to do another redesign of the system with the current future budget outlook for MCTS. Cutting frequency and shortening routes every few months is not sustainable in any way.

Is the Epstein administration putting a border wall thru big bend national park, disrupting 800 acres without environmental studies or public comment? Let alone impacting Native American burials.

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today.
Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

WOW. 19 people, all who were imprisoned and mistreated in a foreign prison at the direct command of the United States, are brave enough to say “We are innocent, and we will endure more time imprisoned to prove that.”
I can only admire the enormous courage such a move takes.
Via @fischler.bsky.social & @janenorman.bsky.social: The strikes were not specifically authorized by Congress and it was not immediately clear if lawmakers were notified before the attack began. Trump also ordered airstrikes in Venezuela and the capture of the country’s president earlier this year.

🚨 An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.
Other documents that mention Trump have been taken down (and some restored).
