https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/57860/the-death-of-the-ball-turret-gunner The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner Randall Jarrel, 1945 From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (1948) (also known as "Deportee") Words by Woody Guthrie The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting, The oranges piled in their creosote dumps; They're flying 'em back to the Mexican border To pay all their money to wade back again Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita, Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria; You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane, All they will call you will be "deportees" My father's own father, he waded that river, They took all the money he made in his life; My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees, And they rode the truck till they took down and died. Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted, Our work contract's out and we have to move on; Six hundred miles to that Mexican border, They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves. We died in your hills, we died in your deserts, We died in your valleys and died on your plains. We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes, Both sides of the river, we died just the same. The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon, A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills, Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves? The radio says, "They are just deportees" Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards? Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit? To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil And be called by no name except "deportees"?

Summary of Statement (January 23, 2026) In anticipation of a significant snowstorm predicted to bring substantial snowfall to D.C., Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton reminded residents that a provision she includes in the Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill allows sledding on Capitol Hill. The Capitol Police confirmed that the grounds would be open for sledding. Norton highlighted the West Front of the Capitol as a prime sledding location in D.C. and emphasized her consistent effort to include the provision enabling this activity. She stated that during a major snowfall, children and parents should have access to this popular spot, describing sledding as a simple childhood joy.

An email received from Mischief Toys on 1/19/25: Hello, Thank you once again for your incredible support during these difficult times here in Minnesota. We'd like to give you an update about how we're paying your support forward. News of ICE hitting us with a retaliatory audit went kinda viral and we've received a HUGE amount of support. Not only were we extremely busy all weekend, but we also received over $1000 in unsolicited donations. We've made the following cash donations: $1000 each to four immigrant rights orgs: The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, MONARCA, COPAL MN, and the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee. And $500 each to two orgs providing mutual aid in MSP: the Flourish Placemaking Collective and the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Collective. We're not experienced philanthropists, but this made sense to us. Hopefully, ICE will learn that the more they try to hurt our community, the more we help each other. Thank you all again for your support. Millie, Dan, and Abigail Mischief Toy Store 💖

A Poem: Renee Nicole Good Is Murdered Cornelius Eady 1954 – Up rides the super cops, The cancellation squad. A dormant virus, melted from The ice pack, And the conversation Is end-stopped when The shell cracks her Car window, does its Dumb duty, Brings silence To a poet’s mind. The President says: You’re a terror bot If you don’t comply. Homeland security Puts on a ten gallon Texas size hat, Says see what fucking With the bull gets you. There is a picture of her Just before it tips rancid, Just before she’s dragged Into how they see her. I wish I could read the words As they blaze their last, unsuspected Race through her skull. A language poem that ends on The word Impossible.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftermath_of_the_January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack#House_resolution "In March 2022, Congress mandated the display of a plaque honoring the police officers who were on duty at the Capitol during the attack.[332] After numerous unexplained delays, Congress missed its self-imposed March 2023 deadline to install the plaque.[333] The plaque would have included the names of officers of the United States Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, and other federal and state agencies.[334] It would have faced the complex's west front.[332] On June 12, 2025, former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges sued over House Speaker Mike Johnson's apparent abandonment of the project.[335] The Justice Department sought to have the lawsuit dismissed.[336]"
