When I was a kid, my dad had a cassette tape recording of this reading of “A Child’s Christmas in Wales”, by the author, Dylan Thomas. Annual listening was a must. I can still hear the “Ka-Chunk” of the PLAY button. Funny and nostalgic

Bit of a wild story. Hearing this second hand, but buckle up.

ICE attempted to pull a Kavanaugh stop last night (Christmas Eve), pulling over my mom’s boss (an LPR). He proved his immigration status, but they decided to go after the coworker he was with instead. It gets wilder from here… 1/

Her coworker—while he was detained—was injured in a car accident as they were bringing him in. While he was being brought in, ICE diverted to an incident that turned into a shoot out in Glen Burnie, MD. The vehicle he was in crashed. He was injured and taken to the hospital. 2/

While he was in the hospital, he’s apparently been implicated in the shooting (which happened while he was detained by ICE). Univision is reporting that he was injured by the shooting—this is false; he was injured in the car crash that happened and already being transported by ICE. 3/

My mom has phone records that can demonstrate his time of initial detention to hopefully straighten this out. But from what it looks like, they tried to arrest an LPR, went after his buddy instead, and then got into an accident and are now implicating the guy they already got into a shooting…

To make it look like he’s a “bad guy.” He’s not. These are folks who are thoroughly integrated into the local community, hire and buy from locals like my mom, have no criminal record, fled El Salvador during the civil war, have been here for decades.

There’s video footage, photos, phone records of him being taken into custody before all of this ever happened.

So if there’s any way to make sure the record is corrected, would appreciate someone DMing to reach my mom and her boss who were reacting to it live and have records to prove it.

Update: Looks like this managed to get picked up by Fox, and they’re quoting a DHS line that looks like it’s getting garbled or someone’s vibe-interpreting this.

Again, there are records of all this happening, and would appreciate the chance to straighten this all out.

ハンドクリームにキーホルダーを付ける行為を真似してみたくて実行してみました。

穴の大きさは3mmのものを使用。
このサイだとボールチェーン式のものは問題なく入りました。

ハンドクリームによると思いますが上部の穴を開けても大丈夫なスペースはそこまで大きくないので3mm〜5mmかなーって思います。

自分のハンドクリームの目印にもなりますし今後も続けていきたいアイデアだと思いました。

Listen, I know that Steve Bannon interview is circulating and terrifying everyone, but I have to remind you that NOTHING is a foregone conclusion, whether for 2028 or anything else.

We have a battle ongoing on every front: in the courts, in the streets, in the media ecosphere, & online. WE CAN WIN.

More realistically it means Trump will tighten the screws and use course syllabi to launch new “investigations.” It will also see that UVA admits some Black students and that will be “evidence” for more threats. It’s going to be hell teaching here for a while.

I moved from Vermont to So Carolina. What a culture shock. SC is racist AF and it feels like living in the 1950s. I feel like a lot of people here don’t know that they should expect more from their government and fellow citizens.
