Frosty, the white squirrel, visits my water dish almost every day. #animals #wildlife

White squirrel with light gray tail and dark eyes drinks from a clear bowl of water with pebbles on a stone patio. She keeps her back feet in the greenery. Blue sky.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Went to the Albatwitch festival in Pennsylvania. New location. Parking was chaotic. Lectures were in a tiny area next to music playing. Bad planning. It used to be much better.

It's how ghost hunting, Bigfoot promoters, and Creationism works. Pseudoscience and sham inquiry.

"Scientifical" Americans.
First it was ghost hunters, now it's inexperienced government officials.

This party is invading cities, attacking citizens, abducting people off the streets, terrorizing communities, gutting health care, rolling back human rights, and dismantling democracy. They are well aware of how to impose suffering yet play victims. Just obscene.
