I draw, paint, grow plants, and write about art, gardening, long covid, watching civilization's last fingers slip from a cliff, and living under the great Texas hell dome. After years of cooking, I studied anthropology at UTexas.

DHS admits it deported more than 80 DACA recipients β€œDreamers” who came to the U.S. as children are protected under U.S. law, so deportations of them are unusual.

β€œThe Department of Homeland Security admitted to Congress this month that it deported dozens of unauthorized immigrants who are protected under U.S. law because they were brought as children to the United States, according to a letter made public Thursday.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Remembering the Iraqi Uprising Twenty-Five Years Ago | Council on Foreign Relations On February 15, 1991, four weeks into Operation Desert Storm, President George H.W. Bush, using identical language twiceβ€”at the White House and later at a Raytheon defense plant in Massachusettsβ€”encou...

In 1991 George H.W. Bush urged the Iraqis to rise up against Saddam Hussein

β€œIn the end, the regime, using…helicopters..,artillery, and armored..forces.. counterattacked the uprising, killing 30,000-60,000 Shias in south, and 20,000 Kurds in the north.

β€˜I Just Stood Up’: The Stunning Arrest Of Aliya Rahman At The State Of The Union Rahman, who was Rep. Ilhan Omar’s guest, suspects she was targeted after testifying to Congress about her brutal ICE detention in Minneapolis.

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up.

Really.
