And if farmers don't plant next year, they have no profit to live on, pay mortgages, buy school supplies, or save to send their kids to college. Livestock farmers will pay more for feed. This creates inter-generational poverty.

Violence, domestic abuse, crime, alcoholism.

When ICE can stand on a rooftop and shoot unarmed civilians, and laugh about it, they already have mental instability. Tens of thousands will need help to recover. Their communities will pay the price.

The new ICE recruits are being quickly taught how to dehumanize 'other' people. Anyone who doesn't look like them, speak their language, or they are told is bad.

After a year of being pumped full of Bravado, what do you think will happen when they return to their family and community?

Chicago!! what about sidewalks and streets? The State, County, or municipality owns them, and the right to patrol them.

I like the north side of the Gorge for spring wildflowers and wine, and the south side for drier grassland plants. Beacon Rock is STILL on my to do list.

Bear Gulch Fire near Lake Cushman, WA. Photo from 45 miles away in Steilacoom, WA. The fire is now at 16,000 acres, burning in the wet Olympic Mountains which don't normally burn in large, raging, extremely hot fires. US Forest Service no longer has enough resources to fight fires.

Huge plume of smoke from the Bear Gulch Fire turns pink at sunset. Puget Sound and McNeil Island are in the foreground. WA State Dept of Corrections Special Commitment Center for sexually violent prisoners is located on the island. Trump has a reservation there.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.

We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

What should you do when you’re stopped by the police? DC’s young people break down your rights when interacting with law enforcement.

Remember — knowing your rights is a great first step, asserting them is even better.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Heads up, Washington folks. Print the order out and bring it with you in case the pharmacist needs convincing. I just made my booster appointment for Saturday at a Safeway pharmacy (RIP, Bartell) - lots of slots still available.

That's bogus. In WA go to Fred Meyers. Safeway refused me in May, and I went down the street and got one. Then changed my prescriptions to Fred Meyers.
