The process that led to the Holocaust didn't start with killing people.

First it made them non-people.

Then it killed them.

Your News Channel reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to confirm the presence of federal law enforcement personnel and asked multiple questions about the nature and purpose of Wednesday's action.

An ICE-affiliated email responded, "Please provide photos or videos of this event so we can research further. Visuals help us determine what agency might be involved" without answering any questions asked by Your News Channel nor confirming the presence of ICE agents at the exact time and location detailed in this article.

Your News Channel provided cropped images depicting the insignias on the front and back of the agent who used pepper-spray at the scene without showing observers nor sharing the origin of the videos provided to our station

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right β€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Happy 2026! To start the year, here's a tree ring chiton, a 5cm ocean mollusk that sticks to rocks. Instead of having obvious eyes on a head, it's got 100s of tiny eyes embedded in the hard plates on its back, each with a rock crystal to focus light. Its top is one big eye spying on the world above
