ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning. No accountability. Just armored agents treating Tucson like a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do to everyone else. Sick MFers.

For a different change of pace, here's a spoiler-free impression of S5E1 of Stranger Things:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away!

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. "
