Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

fear reprisal? absolutely.

i draw a silly cartoon that no one sees, and every time i expect to have my door kicked in.

i drop my kids off at school and every time picture what it will be like when ICE shows up and i'm in their face to GTFO.

i 100% expect reprisal.

still gonna speak out, though.
Im white but cant shut up, yes, I fear reprisal from my government for utilizing my free speech.

Absolutely.
Is America safer? Are Trumps policies making life more affordable? Are Tariffs lining your pockets? Are you confident Trump will accept the results of any election? Is there any doubt Pam Bondi works for Trump? If you are any color other than white, do you fear getting detained?

here is a person who has clearly made peace with the knowledge that history will lay bare her hypocrisy, lies, deceit, and moral decrepitude for a very, very long time after she's done walking the earth.

all of these dipshits read the early versions of Faust and saw it as an instruction manual...
Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

“I’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

4yo: "i wanna watch a show!"

me: "go downstairs and turn it on, we'll be down later"

4yo: ...

i've done stupid things, stuff i'm not proud of, and things i'd prefer not sharing publicly. i take great comfort knowing that if i had it all exposed in spectacular fashion for the world to see, i could still look my grandkids in the eyes and they would not be ashamed of me.

"look for the helpers" is indelibly enshrined in my head. thank you, Mr. Rogers. ❤️
ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.
