I'm kind of obsessed with these Grymbo finger puppets my friend is making. Coming to a Ren Faire near some.

An orange rabbit puppet is hung on a lawn sculpture of a goose so that the rabbit appears to have a goose's body. It's sitting on a box marked Silly Silly Gooses.

My brain had this conversation with itself while I was trying to think of 5 jobs. Cause I've been a "cook" at least 5 times I think... I had too many jobs in college.

Nomination and selection of Nobel Peace Prize laureates - NobelPrize.org A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize may be submitted by any person who meets the nomination criteria. A letter of invitation to submit is not required. The names of the nominees and other informati...

Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

4. He would be so mad.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

This week, the House votes on DHS funding.

I will not vote to give ICE a single cent.

No more blank checks for a rogue agency that operates above the law, escalates violence, and erodes our most basic freedoms.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Abolish ICE? It’s a Slogan Some Democratic Critics of ICE Would Abolish.

As Democrats grow more alarmed about the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration raids in American cities, some worry that calls to eliminate the agency will distract from efforts to rein it in.

Oh no if we say Abolish ICE they might get mad and do things like shoot American citizens or occupy Democratic-run cities or invoke the Insurrection Act
