Same tactics they've been using in Minnesota.
Abolish ICE. And call your representatives to tell them not to fund it in the upcoming budget bill.

First effect of the GLP that I noticed: Did not want my entire cup of coffee. Blew my mind!

Well, after *mumble* years I have an electronic bathroom scale again. Started a GLP yesterday afternoon. We'll see how this goes. I'm a lot more interested in improving A1C and increasing muscle mass than I am in weight loss.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Very welcome!

Updated the wall art for my home altar. (Previously, it was a Rothko poster.)

Protest is a constitutionally protected RIGHT.
No 'administration' gets to tell you otherwise.

Those rights were fought for, as well as the 2nd Amendment, which was written specifically to protect citizens against moments like this one.

The government DOES NOT get to overthrow the people.

Not only did Hillary and Kamala warn them, so did Black Men, Black Women, and Educated White Folks.. the rest of them voted for this shit..

Hugs. Yay coping skillz too.

Thankya!

This morning, locked arms and escorting a young man from 26 Federal Plaza after he was given a May 6 check-in. He was overjoyed because he was free for another 5 mos, but then 7 ICE agents swarmed, demanded his paperwork, found it legal, said they had a warrant for his arrest. They ripped him away.

Monochrome Monday. Abolish ICE and change immigration law to something better.

Saw the video. No agent was under any threat, had they simply backed away and let her leave.

"may".

Blush! Thank you, kind sir.

"Flu reaches highest level in the US in 25 years."

The *same* CDC reporting that seasonal flu infections are at their highest levels in a QUARTER CENTURY just ended universal flu vaccine recommendations.

This is a reckless and misguided move that will endanger public health.
