There really is this pervasive idea that a given govt agency has just always been there. But no, ICE isn't even old enough to be dumped by Leo.

Can’t stop hearing the sound of that woman’s repetitive cry into the void: “SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.” I shudder at the wanton evil these ghouls are unleashing upon the world.

Greetings! A small group of protesters just arrived at Metro Detention Center (an area used by federal immigration authorities) in Los Angeles, CA. LAPD vehicles are circling the block, and jaw jacking a bit with demonstrators in the street.

I think there's a point where you are so angry that you run out of mental space for fear, and I think a lot of Minneapolis and St. Paul were there, today.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists.
I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.

Perhaps because the world is in a dark place & I’m in the mood for comedy, I pressed play on #ADreamWithinADream again, & this time around I’m enjoying it a lot more ☺️
The characters are great fun, & it has some genuinely amusing moments, which is exactly what I need right now
