The final piece of the central tower of Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia has been laid in place,
bringing the church to its maximum final height 144 years after work began.

“I am a resident of Minneapolis, which for the last 6 weeks has been a kind of hell. I am begging you, begging you, to do everything in your power to •stop funding this hell•.
The Department of Homeland Security has become a dangerous rogue organization. Dangerous! The correct amount of funding for the DHS under its current leadership — yes, you heard me, the •entire• DHS — is zero. ZERO.
I consider every dollar above that to be a concession. Fight.”

—in under 120 characters
—that they were “related to DEI.”
That’s what the newly released proposed amended complaint from the Authors Guild against the US government reveals
