The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

I don’t know if there’s any greater frustration as a doctor, particularly in adolescent medicine, than when patients want medical care, I’m ready to provide it, but I’m unable to because of systems and policies beyond my control. This sucks.

It’s hard to be a disabled person with needs because so much has to focus on me.
My mother is a malignant narcissist, and I constantly keep myself in check to make sure that’s not how I’m behaving.
But I genuinely love my GF and our cat children and am capable of putting them first.
