Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.

Happy Birthday Jimin!

Jimin’s birth flower is Bridalwreath spirea/Spiraea prunifolia var. simpliciflora. They have cascades of delicate flowers and symbolize neat and tidy love, perfect for our muse.

A slender branch with small white flowers with 5 petals running all along the branch.

Federal immigration officers wear masks, no name tags — now some drive cars without license plates

For those who don’t get it, ARMY was sharing “baking recipe links” for a concert livestream and we were 99% convinced this person was a company employee trying to shut the links down. He didn’t get any baking links …

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Kafka On The Shore is a book by Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. It's a fantasy novel and one of the main characters is named Kafka. There is a song in the story titled Kafka On The Shore. And there the woods plays a role in the story. It's complex and filled with metaphysics and riddles.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
