hi 👋 Updated! Here for cats, music, food, travel, & nature. I know the world is on fire & my way of staying sane is to find beauty & light here and outside. Newly into photography & am loving my fujifilm xT5. Here to connect with all of you in a non-creepy way! Still distracted by alpacas & taters.

None of this is new. It’s just new for yt people. 🎯
America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis.
I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations.

Discouraging to know how many had to die both in the streets and while in custody (who aren't even mentioned below!) while Democratic leadership did next to nothing and still thinks ICE vis-à-vis DHS can be fixed, so, no, I ain't gotta hand it to them
NEW: House Democratic Leaders Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar say in a joint statement, "Kristi Noem should be fired immediately, or we will commence impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives."
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

The ANA revised their statement
I’m disappointed in so many things these days. Didn’t think the ANA would be added to the long list. One their own was murdered & they don’t call it out for what it was! Condemn ICE & the government for what is happening or don’t say anything at all. I am so tired! #nursesunite #nurses

Look for the helpers?
Alex Pretti was a helper. He was an ICU nurse at the VA.
The State didn’t care that he was a helper. They murdered him in cold blood.

My eye has been randomly twitching all morning. Not sure if it’s due to a lack of vitamins or the need for a vacation to a different world than what we are currently living through.
