Greetings on this challenging Tuesday, the 9th of September, 2025, which is also known as National Wiener Schnitzel Day, an apparent nod to cultural appropriation. On top of that, we also celebrate National ‘I Love Food’ Day – we strongly recommend you to not put trust in those folks who can’t appreciate this love for food. Also on the agenda are National Teddy Bear Day, National Steak Au Poivre Day, and a tribute to the peculiar product of the 1950s, National Ants on a Log Day.
For those unfamiliar with the concept, ‘ants on a log’ is a unique dish comprising of a spread, like peanut butter, applied onto celery sticks, and topped with raisins. It’s interesting to note that peanut butter is widely favoured as the spread but you can also find unique variations using ricotta and cream cheese. Of course, there’s always room for creativity: ‘gnats on a log’ features currants in place of raisins, while ‘ants on vacation’ interestingly lacks raisins altogether.
In more sobering news, the Supreme Court has recently overruled the decree from a subordinate court that prevented the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from detaining people suspected of immigration law violations. The Supreme Court dissented from the lower court’s decision, with voting usually splitting into the recurrent 6-3 outcome.
In further developments, the Supreme Court’s decision on this particular Monday was to revoke a federal judge’s injunction against governmental officials performing non-specific immigration-related stops around Los Angeles. Critics have labeled this conduct as ‘blatant racial profiling’.
Complicating matters further, Trump’s designated ‘Border Czar’ has relayed a warning to the Democratic ‘sanctuary cities’, hinting at ‘action’; typically an introduction of National Guard or law enforcement agencies, culminating in a wave of arrests and deportations. Our sources have informed that we should ready ourselves for unfoldings in sanctuary cities nationwide.
For the uninitiated, Trump and his administration have been vocal critics of ‘sanctuary city’ policies. These can include a range of practices, such as withholding immigrants who are accused of crimes beyond their allotted time from ICE custody, or preventing police officers from asking about immigration status during arrests.
Meanwhile, ‘Freedom Flotilla’, lead by environmental activist Greta Thunberg, has intervened its voyage for a brief stopover in Tunisia. The purpose of this impromptu dwell is to amass more boats and resources before embarking towards Gaza – an expedition that will ultimately be halted by the Israeli naval forces.
Large crowds were observed in Tunisia’s port on a Sunday as they awaited Greta Thunberg and her humanitarian flotilla bound for Gaza. The atmosphere was electric as the community came together to meet and usher in this impassioned environmentalist and her fleet.
In France, the government appears to be in turmoil following a no-confidence vote against the Prime Minister – this has no relation to President Macron. Lawmakers’ discontentment with the current budget seems to be the primary catalyst behind this political upheaval.
Importantly, the political landscape remains uncertain and fraught due to the lack of a clear majority. This impasse has existed almost a year since the previous elections, putting the citizens and politicians alike in a state of anticipation and ambiguity as to their country’s future.
On a lighter note, we bring updates from Dobrzyn, where Hili and Szaron seem to be wrapped up in a somber conversation: Hili shares that she opened her eyes one morning to see ‘the whole truth’, only to immediately close them again. Szaron seems equally perplexed, both intrigued and puzzled by the revelation.
Translated from Polish, we get: Hili: I saw the whole truth the moment I opened my eyes one morning. Szaron is caught off guard and asks, ‘And then?’ To which Hili responds, ‘I closed them right away.’ Seems like Hili had her moments of enlightenment and bewilderment all within a day’s morning routine.
Some surprising events took place on this unforgiving Tuesday, September 9th, 2025. Ranging from a slew of strange National Day celebrations to stunning Supreme Court decisions, the unprecedented threat to sanctuary cities, Greta Thunberg’s inspirational voyage, and a political crisis in France. Finally, we captured a glimpse into Hili and Szaron’s thoughtful kitty dialogue. Despite its unassuming character, today was anything but ordinary.
