I told my boss today "it's slow right now, I'm gonna go home and do ICE watch" and he said "cool stay safe".
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Iowa media must seek comment from Rep. Zach Nunn #IA03 and Randy Feenstra #IA04 (now running for governor): do they agree that Alex Pretti shouldn't have been carrying a gun?
Q: Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or assassin?
TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but he certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun. I don't like that he had a gun.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

Definitely a concern for me with all the censorship for children going around these days. The internet helped me figure myself out when no one around me would have. I have bigoted family and was forced into bigoted private religious schools. The internet is the only place for kids who were like me.
