Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

January writing goal: Hit 20k
January word count: 15k
February writing goal: hit 30k
Current word count: 16k

So I didn’t hit my writing goal, but that’s okay, I still wrote! I have a new goal for February, let’s see how much I can do!

Our initial analysis is up.

The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

This week, the House votes on DHS funding.

I will not vote to give ICE a single cent.

No more blank checks for a rogue agency that operates above the law, escalates violence, and erodes our most basic freedoms.

I really hope I can hit my January writing goals! It’s been hard to write these past few months, I need to find a system that works for me ✏️

Kristi Noem must be impeached.

Trust the process. I focused too much on the eye at first that it sort of looks like a potato with an eye on it. 🥔 I was really happy with the color and composition of the painting

Writing woes: getting ready for writing in November but the more research I do, the more I realize I won’t be able to finish researching in time. I guess the my first edit will be adding all that stuff in later!

Writing woes: got a full request from my dream agent only to get a rejection from them a few days later. That’s how it goes in the #querytrenches I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least I know my query package is working. My pages on the other hand… may need some work.

Lately I haven’t been painting, I’ve been too busy with embroidery! This was so fun and difficult to make. I tried some embroidery techniques I had never tried before. Our little mushroom man is out on an adventure 🍄

Writing woes: I only started querying this month yet why is it so hard. The impulse to check your email every few minutes is unlike any other! The query trenches is not for the faint of heart.

Thirteen unhoused people were hurt in Minneapolis.

And America shrugs.

These folks are not invisible. Not disposable. Not less human.

The relative silence on this tragedy is a moral failure.

Writing woes: I heard the best way to not think about queries is to start a new project. That’s what I’m doing. New project called Project Doll. Another thriller♥️

Even if you aren’t masking anywhere else it still makes sense to wear a mask in medical settings & pharmacies because there’s a greater chance of being close to someone contagious & there are more people who are at higher risk in these places. Masking in these settings both protects you & others.
I really think there should be a continued public health push to have people wear a mask in pharmacies and medical settings since that is where sick people and people who are higher risk can be found frequently. It has never made any public health sense to loosen those precautions.

Writing woes: I finished draft 5 of my thriller novel. And then I started querying. Was it too soon? Only time will tell. If I get a lot of rejections I’ll do another edit.

One of the most tragic things is that so many people that will be harmed by the Big Death Bill will be completely unaware about what just happened until it’s way too late and they can’t see a doctor or get a hospital bed in their time of need.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Programs like Medicaid and SNAP literally keep people alive. This isn’t a reconciliation bill, it’s a big death bill.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

Aurora Reyes (1908-1986) was the 1st Mexican woman muralist. In her heyday, she was part of the important artist circles. She did not achieve the status of her male contemporaries, perhaps due to her political views in later years. For example, her participation in the anti-government movement of 68
