More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

If you get to NYC, and you haven’t been to the museum, you should go. It’s very painful and very moving.

The last time the Giants played on my birthday was 2003. They won, but the Mets lost. Come on, universe, be better.

All I want for my birthday tomorrow is:
* a #Mets win
* a #Giants win
* leaders who are smart and kind
* neighbors who want leaders who are smart and kind

I don’t pretend to know anything about acoustic #drums, let alone electronic drums, but I do stand next to a drummer a bunch, and this seems promising. Of course I’d like to know what real drummers think. youtu.be/DN8lTE74wRA?...
