Montgomery County officials condemned a brutal ICE raid in Lower Providence, where over 20 unmarked vehicles, some with Uber stickers, and masked agents stormed a home, injuring Guadalupe López and alarming children present. Witness Dr. Jeanine Darby described heartbreaking scenes of families in shock, children crying, and homes shattered, all while police only maintained public safety—not involved in the raid. Community protests erupted, criticizing the aggressive tactics that instill fear in families. Critics argue such actions cause trauma but supporters say they enforce law.

Is it really true that "standardized testing has its origins in eugenics, white supremacy and xenophobia"? I am skeptical.

Hype for the Future 92B: The Communities of Franklin and Carlisle, Ohio

Introduction While Franklin is often the first name associated with the northwestern corner of Warren County, Ohio, the smaller community of Carlisle is located entirely on the west side of the Great Miami River, with select residents of Franklin on the west side occasionally being mistaken—or at least mislabeled—as Carlisle residents. Both are located primarily within Warren County; however, the community of Carlisle and Franklin Township directly border Madison Township of Butler […]

#MCPS high-school graduation rates are declining. A worrying trend. The article cites #COVID and I.C.E. (from an advocate's quote) as possible reasons why. Makes me think about the viral recent stories about the UCLA freshmen with extremely low math skills.

"From 2024 to 2025, the four-year graduation rate for Hispanic/Latino students decreased from about 86% to nearly 79% — a decline of roughly 6.7 percentage points."

There appears to be credible rumors that Feb 1, ICE presence in MoCo is expected to jump from a current population of 15 to 200. Looks like they have already been raiding Blair High School.

I would be in favor of proportional representation on the Montgomery County council, with party list voting, but this is not that. This is... I don't even know what to call it. A quota system? For political parties?

If 66% of votes go to a certain political party, I feel like that political party should get 66% of the power, right? @BaltimoreBanner

The image depicts a two-story residential house with a mix of brick and siding exterior walls, located in what appears to be a suburban neighborhood. The house features several windows, including one on the front facade that has shutters, and multiple smaller window units along its side elevation. There is a small tree growing near the foundation of the home, and another larger tree stands behind it.

In the foreground, there's an empty yard with some patches of grass visible and what looks like a few trees or shrubs planted around. The sky above appears clear, indicating that this photo was taken on a sunny day without any significant cloud cover. Overall, the setting seems calm and peaceful, likely in late winter given the presence of snow.

This black-and-white photograph provides an insight into residential architecture from approximately 1920 to 1950, as indicated by its inclusion in George Moss houses documentation. The source suggests that this particular house is located at or near 114 Pierce Drive and was captured around a century ago during the early part of the twentieth-century architectural style transition.

The image has been credited to Horydczak, an individual active approximately between 1890-1971. The photograph appears on the website for George Moss houses with its specific source URL provided in the description.

The image depicts a two-story brick house with several notable features, including multiple windows and a chimney on the roof. The structure has white trim around its doors and window frames, contrasting against the dark bricks of the exterior walls. A concrete porch can be seen at ground level in front of what appears to be an entrance door. Surrounding this residence are tall trees indicative of a wooded setting or neighborhood with ample greenery. This monochrome photograph might have been taken between approximately 1920 and 1950, as suggested by the accompanying text information about George Moss houses. The photographer's name is Horydczak, whose works span around that time period (approximately 1890-1971).

The image depicts a grand and ornate altar located within the confines of an elegantly designed chapel. The photograph is in black-and-white, showcasing intricate details and marble columns that add to its majestic ambiance.

Upon closer examination, one can observe the elaborate mosaic work on the altarpiece which features religious motifs such as crosses and possibly saintly figures or saints' relics. Above this central piece of artwork hangs a large coat-of-arms crest with inscriptions that are not legible in the image provided.

The chapel's architecture is characterized by its use of decorative stonework, including columns made from what appears to be marble. The ceiling also features ornate designs and vaulted arches which suggest an architectural style reminiscent of European Baroque or Rococo design elements.

In terms of context, this altar resides within Georgetown Preparatory School's chapel as captured by Theodore Horydczak in a photograph possibly taken between the years 1920 to 1950. The photographer is known for his work during that period and has been documented with various works related to religious themes.

The image portrays an atmosphere of reverence, historical significance, and artistic craftsmanship intrinsic to its surroundings within this sacred space.

The image is a black and white photograph of the chapel at Georgetown Preparatory School, as seen from behind trees. The building has two stories with large windows on both levels. Atop the roof sits an ornate spire that reaches high into the sky. On either side of the entrance are tall pillars supporting a pediment above which hangs a statue or religious figure. In front of this structure, birds can be seen perched in flight against the backdrop of trees and shrubbery. The photo appears to have been taken around 1920-1950 as indicated by its historical context provided within Georgetown Preparatory School records.
