Calah (cockatoo) and I float around the US with a small travel trailer to see pictographs and mounds, to attend Trekkie and Jewish events, to visit Alamo Drafthouse locations, and to see family and friends. 🏏🎺

Just a quick, pictorial reminder of what happens when the national guard and military are deployed in response to protests…. #LosAngeles 8647

Yup. #jewsky

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

🚨BIG STORY: Senators put a line into the crypto bill requiring bankrupt banks to prioritize remunerating crypto investors over depositors. The provision could require banks to take cash from your savings account & use it to pay senators' crypto donors. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Georgia’s governor promotes his Medicaid work requirement as a national model for reform. Yet the program has cost taxpayers more than $86M, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants, and enrolled only 3% of the quarter-million Georgians eligible. (Published Feb. 2025)

Hegseth has ordered that the USNS Harvey Milk, named for the iconic gay rights icon, be renamed. Harvey Milk served as a diving officer and later as a diving instructor for four years in the U.S. Navy. That this would happen at the start of Pride is intentional. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

That’s weird. I keep trying to share this but it just doesn’t work. I don’t think anybody can make it work!

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Dept official about the damage done by Trump and Musk abandoning America's humanitarian aid commitments.

These programs exist for Heaven's sake, indeed, Jodi! Why would you hurry people on towards death? Why would having ill immigrants among our populace be preferable? What are the healthcare needs of those adults that are better served on Medicaid?

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

ACOG is "extremely disappointed" by HHS's announcement to no longer recommend COVID vaccination during pregnancy. ACOG affirms the vaccine's safety & benefits for pregnant people & infants, stating the science hasn't changed.
