I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

Oh, it's bad. Really bad for Donald Trump, but a win for the victims as they get closer to get some level of justice. It's also really bad for the NY Times. A paper that hammered Hillary Clinton and others when they ignored what their own reporters were doing.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Growing up were there any moments in movies that traumatized you? 😬

For me… the Autobot massacre at beginning of Transformers The Movie, followed by Death of Optimus Prime
