🚨BREAKING: In a Chicago suburb, a U.S. citizen was observing an adult man in a black ski mask, who she believed was an ICE agent, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL… …and police pulled HER over. Not the MASKED MAN driving around the Schaumburg high school… The officer told her she was being detained for ā€œstalking.ā€ Even though, when she asked who she was allegedly stalking… the cop admitted he didn’t even know yet, and would ā€œfind out in just a moment.ā€ So, just to clarify… The cop hadn’t confirmed who the MASKED MAN was. He hadn’t determined whether he was a federal agent, or why he was driving around a HIGH SCHOOL in a SKI MASK. But the cop had already decided the woman, OBSERVING THE MASKED MAN, was the problem. Americans have a First Amendment right to observe what government officials are doing in public. If this was a federal agent… documenting their activity isn’t a crime. It’s accountability. And if it wasn’t a federal agent… most people would expect the police to be concerned about a MASKED MAN driving around a HIGH SCHOOL. Not the woman observing him. In a country where school shootings are a real and constant threat to students… that’s the bare minimum our law enforcement should be doing. But when she asked why a MASK MAN, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL, didn’t concern him, the officer said: ā€œEveryone wears masks nowadays.ā€ So, if someone can be detained for peacefully observing, what they reasonably believe is government activity… While police focus more on the observer than the MASKED MAN around a HIGH SCHOOL… Then we have some serious questions that need to be asked… @GovPritzker

Hacer mĆ”s accesible el arte es tambiĆ©n parte del compromiso del museo. El proyecto ā€˜Thyssen en signos’, desarrollado junto a la @FundacionCNSE, trabaja en la creación de un glosario de unos 250 tĆ©rminos artĆ­sticos y relacionados con el mundo del museo en Lengua de Signos EspaƱola (LSE). Durante dos aƱos, hemos estado creando, grabando y registrando los nuevos signos, que se han incorporado al Diccionario de la Lengua de Signos EspaƱola (DILSE) y a la web Educathyssen, ampliando los recursos accesibles para todas las personas. Este proyecto nos permite seguir trabajando para eliminar las barreras de comunicación y para que la accesibilidad a los contenidos del museo sea posible. educathyssen.org/thyssen-en-… Con la colaboración de @Bankinter #ThyssenEnSignos #EducaThyssen #ElMuseoDeTodos

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

🚨UNREAL: House Republicans just gaveled out of session to block Democrats from even introducing a resolution to rein in Trump’s war powers in Iran. They didn’t debate it.
They shut it down. There is literally no authority they won’t hand over to him.
