WARNING to ST. Paul: ICE is going door to door with weapons drawn.

Cold winter nights call for a book, a cozy blanket, and a warm beverage. Prove me wrong. #amreading #reading #readingworld #readerscommunity #readers #library #books #bookworm #bookdragon

Just in case my thoughts aren't clear. It sickens me that so many evil people are celebrating her death. #abolishICE #impeachTrump #Trumpisunfitforoffice

Vance says ICE is protected by absolute immunity. Immunity for murdering a U.S. citizen? WTF. Do all Americans now have absolute immunity to do whatever they want? That’s an absurd argument.

BREAKING: An ICE agent shot and killed a United States citizen in Minnesota. The Department of Homeland Security says it was justified. The video proves they are lying. It was murder. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

My daughter watched someone abandon a puppy in a park. In other news my family has adopted a puppy. Any advice? She has a vet appointment, then we'll book a grooming appointment.

January 6th was a coordinated attempt to kidnap members of Congress, overturn a free and fair election by the people, and install a president whose criminality is simply unprecedented and whose involvement was complete... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/all-americ...

Flashback post and yep, still our favorite.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday season, everyone!

A green and purple one, please.

Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.
