Valentin #Vacherot is good, but he is having a difficult time with the Spanish #2 Alejandro #DavidovichFokina. #Fokina is as good on his second serve as his first. His return game is on point. He'll give people fits in the #AO. Sucks he'll have to face #Alcaraz early on.

Few players look as comfortable from the middle of the court as #Alcaraz. Some players are great behind the baseline, others at the net, but no one is great in the middle of the court. Though, Carlos is.

Laura Jedeed on applying for a job with ICE: "I expected them to Google me, and they didn't ... they sent me a final job offer ... what's disturbing is we don't know who is wearing these masks with guns in our city. We don't know if they have domestic violence convictions."

When the government cannot constrain itself, the people must rise up and constrain their governments. These aren't "Americans" in these uniforms. They are fascists who have NO rights or protections from the wrath of the American people.
Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

Republicans are the greatest threat Americans have ever faced and Americans should fight them with the same ferocity with which we fought the Japanese, the Vietnamese, the Confederacy, and the British.
Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.
