Do the goons at DHS think we're stupid? What are they trying to achieve here, other than making themselves look like a mob of racist morons?

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

The last couple of weeks have been a doozy and I wasn’t sure I was up for my usual lighting extravaganza, but in the end, I could not resist bringing the light. Pro tip this year: instead of greasing my hands with aquaphor, I used some gloves left-over from when my dad was in hospice.

There are stacks of books on the floor in my bedroom. I have bookshelves, too—that's not the problem; just too many books. These are the ones on my early fall reading line-up. Some of them are newish; some have been in one of my stacks for a while, and I'm happy to finally pull them out. 1/3
