Remove ICE and CBP funding until real changes are made.

My God what a harrowing and heartbreaking read. The human spirit is resolute and hopeful, but also fragile, volatile, and selfish. Not an easy book to get through, but an important and well researched one.

Read while it's 20F outside and I realize how much worse these people had it.

Straight. Jacket. Where are the nice men in white coats?
This quack read some garbage on the internet. RFK Jr. is now claiming a keto diet can cure schizophrenia and eliminate bipolar disorder. His evidence? “I saw a study two days ago.”

To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow:

Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too.

Signed,
