Red geranium petal lies on a green geranium leaf.

Happy Saturday!

We could soon die in a nuclear holocaust because it was easier than jailing a paedophile ring Oh shit, so this is how it all ends?

Everything about the empire’s attack on Iran was illegal. There was no UN Security Council vote, no congressional approval, no imminent attack from Iran, no evidence of nukes. It’s Iraq all over again.

A red male cardinal sits in a leafless tree. Tan house in the background

Formal English garden with brick wall in background. Frozen pond with leaves frozen into the water in foreground. Dried flowers mounded in a pedestal urn in the middle of the pond.

Happy Sunday!
The garden in winter is still,
A walk there will give you a chill,
Frozen leaves, frozen water,
Dried bouquet in the pot there,
Quiet beauty with elegant frills.

ICE just bought a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia for $128.6 million.

Call it what it is: an internment camp expansion happening in town across the country.

Willow branches against a blue sky. The outer branches on one side are highlighted by the sun.

Press statement From Islip Forward:

At approximately 9:30 a.m. this morning, federal agents were documented using infrastructure located on the property of the Central Islip Fire Department Station 2, at 110 Wheeler Road-without prior authorization to be on or use that space.

When a volunteer with Islip Forward approached to document the activity, federal agents threatened the volunteer with arrest for alleged trespassing, despite the agents themselves operating in an area where no prior permission had been granted.

Immediately following this interaction, the Central Islip Fire Department took swift action to protect its property and the public. Temporary restrictions were implemented, including closing the gate to the area being used and preventing external access.

The use of municipal fire department property for federal enforcement activity—without authorization-and the subsequent threat directed at a community volunteer raise serious concerns about transparency, overreach, and respect for local institutions.
We are deeply grateful to the volunteer firefighters of the Central Islip Fire Department for their decisive and responsible response.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

Everywhere this man goes he should be treated as if he murdered millions of children, because he did.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
