OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Baltimore mayor to Trump: Don’t send your troops On this week’s “More To The Story,” Brandon Scott says the president’s threats to send the National Guard are a distraction from the city’s historic efforts to reduce violent crime.

"I want folks to be very aware that they're attacking these Black-led cities...that have historic reductions in violent crime.”

Robin Rae's work was that of an English romantic visionary, who loved the land and filled it with character. 'Walk to Paradise Garden,' (2001) is a picture one feels one could travel into; more impressive than the subtlety of structure and colour is the atmosphere generated.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 43 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Lots of baby plants #aerogarden

LOL that’s Thok!! He opens all doors for us, after our Rogue has checked for traps

D&D night!

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury.

No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty.

You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse.

Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Jawdropping.

You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.

This country is unrecognizable.

A six panel comic. In panel 1, a yellow warbler says "Hey, so I'm going to go out on a limb here". For the next four panels, it hops down along a branch. In the last panel, at the end of the branch, it sings a little song. I'm sorry.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

Briefly interrupting your Tuesday doom and gloom with a dose of joy ❤️🙏🏽

The Daily Reid: American apartheid MAGA isn't just a political system. It's a modern chapter in the long and ugly history of global apartheid movements.
