Love Slewfoot! It’s Beauty And The Beast, but reversed!

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses.

Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Gov. Ferguson signs bill restricting out-of-state military forces in Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson has signed a new law that restricts out-of-state military forces from entering Washington without explicit permission.
