Abolish ICE
Worst of the worst: "Pena Jimenez, a Mexican citizen who lives in Lakeville, came to the U.S. in 2000, owns a tile installation business and has no criminal record, according to his petition." Flown out of the country, against a judge's order.

Despite judge’s order, ICE sent an immigrant to Mexico instead of back to Minnesota
The government says the undocumented immigrant voluntarily left the U.S. His attorney is seeking a contempt of court finding as the federal courts remain overwhelmed by immigration cases.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Turns out, seahawks--not really a thing. (It's more like a general term used for a lot of birds, buzzard or seagull.) 🧪🏈
There’s no such thing as a seahawk, actually
Many different bird species have been affiliated with the Seattle Seahawks’ mascot, but none is technically a “seahawk”

The message in “A Few Good Men” is Res ipsa loquitur. There are fewer and fewer good men. Also,
