Evening sunset was lovely. Still waiting on dinner, but it's made.
I've taken the next few days off to recover mentally. I am swirling with emotions of what happened in front of my house, and talking with neighbors who were also affected, seeing their photos. Just wild how shaken we all are.

I fail to see how this is different than Russia stealing Ukrainian kids.
A Virginia court agreed to allow a Marine and his wife to adopt an Afghan girl living in Afghanistan. Then the couple tricked the girl's family into evacuating to the U.S., and when they arrived here, stole the child. The Virginia Supreme Court just endorsed the legality of this.
Virginia Supreme Court rules US Marine's adoption of an Afghan war orphan will stand
The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that a U.S. Marine and his wife will keep an Afghan orphan they brought home in defiance of the U.S. government’s decision to reunite her with her Afghan family.

Labour is hemorrhaging support, ex-chief of staff McSweeney is out, and in the most recent blow, the UK's High Court ruled Starmer's proscription of Palestine Action as a terror group was unlawful.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

I was so impressed with this story about measles in the Atlantic -- the depth of reporting it would take to weave in all these details so fluidly.

So we all know that ICE hasn't really left, right? They're just moving out of the metro where there fewer eyes and whistles. The Hampton in Brooklyn Park is packed with SUVs. Good grief
