Alishan High Mountain Hade Oolong (spring, 2021) from Mud and Leaves is a super clean light oxidation and roast Taiwanese oolong. Pretty close to a green tea.

The next president should repurpose most of the DHS/ICE/CBP budget and spend it on some sort of renumeration to the cities, states, and persons they have terrorized.

Watched a couple of James Gunn's DC things recently. Not sure he's a great match for Superman (I think Tom King saved him from his worst impulses) but he super seems in tune with Giffen's attitude. He should do more Giffen books. JL International? Dr Fate? Legion 5 Years After? Ambush Bug? Yes.

I guess the ICE Snowflakes need somewhere warm to harass Americans when they get cold.
It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.
ICE agents to begin checking documents at MSP airport, patrol jet bridges - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.

As it becomes increasingly apparent that Trump's policies are bombing with the US public, he is going to become increasingly desperate to influence, postpone, or cancel the Midterms and next presidential election.

Since most Latin Americans are of at least partial European descent, aren't we increasing the number of Euro descended Americans by inviting them in?
