I have to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time.

This might be trivial, but I'm always conscious to say I'm super happy for my daughter when she does something well instead of super proud. Like she played really well in her basketball tournament today. So she should be proud! But that is not my pride. That's hers.

I’m not saying this would surprise me in the slightest, but, folks - why would this one single guy be listed by his first name under E instead of his last name under T
Among the Jan 6 rioters who have been hired by Kristi Noem and appointed as ICE officers is Enrique Tarrio, the head of the Proud Boys, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy and violent assault, who led and directed attacks on police officers.

Then somebody owes me some checks. Everyone I know has been outraged for free.
Trump: "One of the reasons they're doing these fake riots-- I mean they're just terrible. It's so fake. 'Shame! Shame! Shame!' You see the woman. It's all practiced. They take hotel rooms and they all practice together. It's a whole scam. We're finding out who's funding all this stuff too."

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

"They are cutting your benefits and services to pay for ICE Goons" is SO MUCH BETTER THAN "Well, gee, I just don't see what these immigration raids have to do with lowering costs for all Americans?!"
Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.

This is the kinda stuff I want my reps doing.
Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

When I go to iceout.org I see ICE activity in communities I'm skeptical is actually a target. I know I'm cynical but I fear the cosplay fake agents might already be out.
One thing I've been genuinely afraid of is how easy this all makes it for the Vance Boelters of the world to pose as ICE agents and terrorize people. Right now it would be impossible to tell real ICE from fake ICE.

If you are a citizen and have an violent or harassing encounter with federal agents, do not contact MONARCA, they are flooded with calls.
If you are a CITIZEN, fill out this ACLU form instead. I did, for the vehicle assault on me in November.
