I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion โ€” just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Soโ€ฆlet me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Please. At least give the FBI a chance to sharpie the ammunition before you jump to conclusions about the motivations of the latest mass shooter.

We often don't have a clue who around us is dealing with trauma. Many people struggling with trauma show no signs, at least not obvious ones.

Let's remember to offer others grace ~ we truly don't know what anyone is going through.
