Well, Ft. Pickens Road, which was cut in several places by Hurricane Ivan's surge in 2004. In Nov. 2006, I did a hike & bike trip to the utterly abandoned National Park and its fort. No other people--hell, no birds!--for miles around. Deafening silence you could feel in your ears. /1

So, this is wild:
In 2015, the podcast Invisibilia featured a woman with a very unusual condition.
Whenever Amanda (not her real name) sees someone else experiencing something - sneezing, getting stung by a wasp, eating chocolate - she physically echoes a version of what they’re feeling.

My laptop changes lock screen backgrounds every few days. Tonight, I realized that I can hit PrtSc for a screenshot--and that's after 3 years not knowing this. :/

This is good news. The ICE agent is arrested on state charges, so the Convicted FElon & the Regime can't do anything to stop this. They can try but it will be illegal.

I will gladly watch her flail at her own party as they flail at her. I will HUZZAHHH!! when one or the other connects...but there's no way she comes into our camp without being immediately evicted, Big Tents or not.

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.
