Thinking about the woman who I met on BART a wk after mom first went into the hospital in Feb. She was so kind to an utter stranger, offering an ear and then giving me these flowers. Grateful to folks who show kindness to all in need. She said she worked in hospice… let good karma come back to her.

Here’s a preview of the coming clash with SCOTUS which has already confirmed noncitizens are entitled to due process. “Sudden deportation” violates the Constitution.

No, definitely not. They were quite clear in their press conference that they were there to do a review of the premises, which is absolutely in their right to do. Also, I believe they said Mayor Baraka was arrested *after* he'd left the building.
