In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

The lesson is don't render aid to the gestapo.
Here's the video interview with the women who got arrested by ICE, saved the ICE agent's life after he had a seizure (because the other ICE agents didn't help him) and then got rearrested. youtu.be/atY_aW3isYk?...

Note that the filth arresting the clergy are either local or state PD, not la migra. Which is a good reminder that ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS and absolutely none of them are on your side.
You literally could not have scripted something to make this admin look more cartoonishly evil than the choices they've made in the last 72 hours.

I cannot, during these horrific times, recommend enough the importance of making pockets of time to just do things that are not related to anything but the joy of being alive and playing. You need it. You do. It will keep you whole. Which we need. We need you whole.

Fascinating. Amazon authors who qualify for the settlement should check this out.
HEY APub AUTHORS!!!
Amazon has put up a form where they (non legal terminology) sign over their half of any anthropic settlement money to you. Obvs I can not give anyone legal advice, but check this out. This could give you 2x the money.

One of the most beautiful documents ever created: the leaflet that everyone received when Britain's NHS was launched (1948)
"Everyone—rich or poor, man, woman or child—can use it... There are no charges, except for a few special items...it will relieve your money worries in time of illness”

"to justify padding the budget & as a harsh form of retaliation [against those who speak out against ICE], torture, & labor trafficking."
