I follow Allison Gill’s Daily Beans morning audio podcast which gives the news from the prior day with the sources to verify it. This is one of the stories they cover deeply. They now have a video version called Beans Talk on the YouTube channel MSW. I do recommend them as a valid news source. Hugs
As many here can imagine this was hard for me to post. I am shaking and crying but the post is important to get out. Children as property was how I was seen. I was going to put it on the roundup page, but it just doesn’t belong there; it does belong here. Thank you. Hugs
It is a fact that most mass shooters are males, mostly white males. But right wing media are so desperate to slander and smear trans people the same way it was tried to before the internet with other media against gay people. The know what they are creating is false but they don’t care because they know that others will believe it and repeat it everywhere. It is a sickness and curse to want to create that much hate and chaos against the most vulnerable communities in society. Hugs
ICE nearly kills another child by mistreatment and ignoring their worsening health and healthcare needs. This is so familiar if you remember history. Lack of food, no healthcare, no humanity. Hugs
Children cry, thinking their parents will be taken if ICE follows them home. All because they are brown skinned. Is this the USA? Hugs
There is a video of the confrontation at the link below. Adults threating young people for using their constitutional right is horrifying and shows the republican party is entirely demanding a one party rule that only supports maga views. Anything else must be destroyed. Hugs

LOS ANGELES – An anti-ICE protest turned scary for students as a man pulled up and allegedly threatened to shoot them.
Saugus High School students can be seen on video running away from a black truck during an anti-ICE protest at Central Park on Tuesday afternoon.
What they’re saying:
Witness Rebecca Hindman, who runs the social media group “Rise Up SCV”, was stopped at a nearby light and approached the students.
“That’s when I found out there was a young man in a red sweatshirt who is a senior at Saugus and that the gentleman in the car had threatened to shoot him in the face,” Hindman told FOX 11.
No gun can be seen in the videos, but students insisted the man threatened them. After initially running away, they went back to the truck to confront the man.
“I’m like what are you doing, why are you doing this, you shouldn’t be threatening children that’s not ok. He just was abstinent and seemed to be getting a kick that he threatened children. That he threatened a Hispanic child with potential death,” Hindman added.
“From the videos I’ve seen, something was definitely used to threaten him. I don’t know what because the initial reaction of the students that were there was definitely fear.”
Dig deeper:
The LA County Sheriff’s Department said no gun was found.
They also issued the following statement, “Responding deputies canvassed the area but were unable to locate the male adult. The Deputies contacted the involved parties at the scene, and the incident was documented. Investigators are continuing to pursue leads and are contacting additional witnesses as part of the ongoing investigation.”
Local perspective:
Hindman said a threat to shoot students near a campus that experienced a mass shooting on November 14th, 2019 is especially disturbing.
The Source: Information for this story came from an interview with Rebecca Hindman. A statement was provided by the LA County Sheriff’s Department.
The gaslighting and the lying are getting so over the top it has become mind numbing. Does tRump really think people believe what he claims just because he says it? Do people really deny what they see and hear just because tRump says the opposite? Hugs

Start TV is set to premiere the award-winning documentary, Who in the Hell is Regina Jones?, on Monday, February 16 at 8P | 7C with a special encore immediately after at 10P | 9C.
The stellar production from Weigel Productions Corp. shines a light on legendary journalist Regina Jones. The documentary, which won the Outstanding Documentary Feature Award at the Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival, turns a lens on Jones’ historical journey – the invisible labor, turmoil, struggle, and joy of a modern-day Black woman, who emerged as publisher and founder of the groundbreaking SOUL newspaper. On this nationwide platform, Black artists could get coverage long before other publications entered the arena.
Pregnant and married at 15, Regina Jones experienced the Watts Rebellion of 1965, raised five children, stepped into places where she was not wanted, and navigated a world that offered her no favors. SOUL was the first publication devoted specifically to Black musicians and perspectives in music, published from 1966 to 1982. During its run, the publication profiled some of the era’s most prominent Black artists, including Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder.
Who in the Hell is Regina Jones? was produced by Weigel Productions Corp and directed by Soraya Sélène and Billy Miossi, edited by Nancy Novack A.C.E., co-edited by Alisa Selman, produced by Alissa Shapiro, and executive produced by Academy Award nominee Sam Pollard.

| The ellipses in today’s comic are where I abridged the quotes to make them a little more readable. (In general, I try to keep text as brief as possible in every Last Kiss comic.) Below are the full quotes. Donald Trump (on Fox News, Oct. 18, 2024, answering a 10-year-old boy who asked Trump who his favorite president was when he was “little.” Trump initially said that Reagan was his favorite. (Note: Trump was 34 when Reagan first took office, and 42 when he left.) So next Trump mentioned Lincoln as a possibility. “Great presidents?” Trump said. “Lincoln was probably a great president, although I’ve always said, why wasn’t that settled? You know, I’m a guy that—it doesn’t make sense we had a Civil War….You’d almost say, like, why wasn’t that [settled]? As an example, Ukraine would have never happened, and Russia, if I were president. Israel would have never happened; October 7 would have never happened, as you know.” Abraham Lincoln. This Jan. 11, 1837 quote from our 16th president can be found on the website for his presidential website here: “In one faculty, at least, there can be no dispute of the gentleman’s superiority over me, and most other men; and that is, the faculty of entangling a subject, so that neither himself, or any other man, can find head or tail to it.” |
