If we could hold on to this throughout our lives...

Brain cannot handle this monumental level of logic disconnect. Shutting down.

It is so hard for me to grasp, to understand the thought processes of the people who are responsible for this level of cruelty. You have to go out of your way, to really TRY to be this cruelly punitive.
Do they think we are ultimately better off behaving this way? Or do they just not care?

Maybe the cardiac age of a 65-year-old, morbidly obese man with early onset dementia.

Look at this: Four vehicles. Eight masked thugs. For one woman and her 15-year-old.

The violence and cruelty are bad enough. Then think about the resources. This is how the government is allocating the money that could go to healthcare, food, other safety nets.

Are we better for it? NO.

Putting aside the "draining resources" language: What does 1.4 million people come to as a percentage of Medicaid users? Is it .4%? Psaki and Johnson each use different metrics, as opposed to saying "it's X number of people, which represents X% of Medicaid users. Are they both right/both wrong?

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

Indigenous Peoples have been resisting at ICE since it was created.

Are we still protecting that pedophile, too? "Oh, but he's so talented."

So, they are driving around warrantless-connecting/eavesdropping.

That's our tax money, being used against us.

View along a back street lined with brick buildings, looking towards the end of a couple of shops in another old red brick building. It is dark. A car is parked to one side. One window on each floor has a light, the ground floor window a bright blue travel agent window, the middle floor yellow light and the top floor window an orange glow.

Lights in the windows.

"The fact that there was no terrorism taking place when I was there was VERY suspicious! Where did they hide the terrorism? And why? Why are they hiding the terrorism?!"

The suffering has begun. It's time not only to fight back, but to look after one another.

"You are an ICE agent? How do you live with yourself? How can you sleep at night? Are you proud of what you're doing?" Would be a good start.

It's only a matter of time before the ICE agents, led by Kristin Gnome, determine that these dance moves are choreographed Antifa code signals, and begin firing on the protesters.

Maybe another state will lend their National Guard troops to help cover Texas while Texas is busy invading other states with their own troops.

I think we should embrace the full name, not the abbreviation. "Anti-fascist" is harder for them to reduce to an enemy of the state than "Antifa". "Antifa" can become a nonsense word, a word molded by GOP to mean anything. "Anti-fascist"? It's pretty clear, and hard for anyone to argue against.

Truly shocking that scaring away immigrant labor is impacting the industries immigrants work in.
