Fun iconography details: The Statue of Liberty's "crown" represents a radiate halo or nimbus, not a monarch's crown.

We've gotten to the point with this regime where they openly injure random citizens just for "fun".

"For the record, the President of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year." -- Daractenus

Sometime in the 1980s I was driving the old highway near St. Augustine Florida and saw a roadside tourist shop with a large mid-century neon sign reading "GIFTS - SOUVENIRS - REPTILE GOODS".
I stopped, looked around, and asked the old lady at the counter, "What sort of 'reptile goods'?" She shook her head sadly and replied "They made us stop selling those years ago.".
I wish I'd taken a photo of the sign.

Ah. Lady Liberty told the cops on the other side of the fence that they were political pawns and 'nobody is scared of you'. Yep, that's most likely why they arrested her.

Note that most are individual buildings or groups of sculptures - but unusually, the entire city of New Orleans is now listed.
"Rather than highlighting a single landmark, the nomination frames the city as an irreplaceable living cultural landscape: a place where historic neighborhoods, vernacular architecture, public traditions, water, culture and daily life are inseparable. "

Good question! The wireservice photos where I found it didn't give reason of arrest. I don't know who the woman is nor what the charges or allegations against her were.
A quick search found this:
KABC Los Angeles -- Tens of thousands of people rallied and marched peacefully through Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday before tensions escalated later in the night, leading to arrests and minor injuries, according to police.

I forget the exact quote and who wrote it, but some writer observed that a type of sensitive people tend to mentally live in the past or the future, because the flaws of the present are too keenly felt.

WaPo: Carbon pollution is making food less nutritious
Many of humanity’s most important crops — including wheat, potatoes, beans — contain fewer vitamins and minerals than they did a generation ago.
The invisible culprit behind this damaging phenomenon? Carbon dioxide pollution.
New Orleans Raccoon problems!
So, back in March we trapped a raccoon that was getting into the walls of our raised house and scratching around. (Critter Ridder spray and sprinkled dried cayenne pepper hadn't persuaded it to go elsewhere).
(It was also getting into fights with neighborhood cats. Understand we have nothing against raccoons that stay outside; in the frame of the house they can damage the house and potentially themselves if the scratch or chew wires! )
