I’m re-reading Pat Sullivan’s Days of Hope, and it’s still such a good book. Your library probably has a digital copy available!

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.

ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.

This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

I completely forgot that today is the big sports ball day. Fortunately, I was reminded at the gym and avoided making the huge mistake of going to the grocery store this afternoon. (I’ll probably go while the game is playing.)
