This nurse was assaulted by ICE – and it was caught on video. Now she wants her day in court. Five months earlier, Norma had been horrified by the killing of another nurse, Alex Pretti, when ICE shot him to death after he stepped in to help a woman shoved to the ground by federal agents on a Minnesota street. As Norma felt her own face slam against the concrete, she thought about Pretti. And she thought about death. The ACLU is representing her as she seeks compensation for damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act.

Pit-building antlions: Nature’s sand trap killers. Predatory ‘doodlebug’ larvae use pits, massive jaws to catch unsuspecting insects. Antlion, a beneficial insect that acts as a natural pest controller. The larva hides at the bottom of the pit with only its large, sickle-shaped, hollow jaws exposed. When an ant or small bug steps on the rim and slips on the loose sand, it tumbles to the bottom. If the prey tries to climb out, the antlion flicks rapid jets of sand to trigger a mini-landslide, knocking the insect back down to inject digestive enzymes

Socrates said, when does the decline of society begin: * When the stupid are louder than the wise, * When the lazy have more than the industriuous * When the unscrupulous are respected more than the honest, * When those who have none preach morality, * When character counts less than reputation, * When children are no longer allowed to be children, * When perpetrators are more protected than victims, * When madness is glorified as normal, * When politicians live not for the people, but off the people. Said 2400 years ago and still valid today!
