I am so deeply saddened with this news. I had the honor of being at Anne and Stuart’s wedding. It was honestly the most joyful wedding I’ve ever attended. It was sweet, charming, FUN, delicious (of course duh), and truly heartfelt. This loss really is so hard. Anne was an absolute light.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim
directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

I love little kids with very grown up names. Just now I saw a group of three year olds being walked down the sidewalk all holding a rope w handles.

Then I heard, β€œWatch where you’re going, Maxine!”

I wanted to yell so badly, β€œYeah get your shi* together Maxine!” πŸ˜‚

Lawyers for Justice Dept. employees threaten to sue, saying dismissals violate the law.

Yes. Finally, some meaningful pushback against these constitutional outlaws.
