Retired mother, grandmother who fears for her grands. Taught HS Spanish long ago. Avid quilter - it keeps my hands and my mind occupied.
On 7/15/2025 I saw &reposted a video of 1 ICE officer grabbing a woman with a megaphone dragging her to the curb, slam her to asphalt and slap her in the face. There was no protest shown. Did anyone see it? It was remove from FB & Threads. It was not AI. Attackers face was visible.

Of absolute utmost urgency. Why’re they hiding behind all that if they’re legal law enforcement officials? Happens only in lawless countries.
Call your Senator and Reps. — Demand hearings (sanctioned or unsanctioned) on ICE.

We’re speeding towards the moment when one of these ICE kidnappings ends in bloodshed.
This is how it’s done!
FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets.

Folks—write down your memories of COVID times. They’ll fade. And people won’t believe you. And they’re historically significant.
It’s always the memories of “normal” people that fill in the everyday truth of the past.

For COVID's anniversary, I'm sending video from the start of the pandemic in NYC, when we were terrified; had no idea what the disease was; & were hiding in our apartments, as EMT workers risked their lives to help others, & bodies piled up in refrigerator trucks.
7PM each day we cheered for them.
