Morse Code for ICE OUT:
.. / -.-. / . // --- / ..- / -
each . is K1 CC, K1 MC; each - is K2 CC, K1 MC; each / is 2 total MC sts (add 1 MC st); // is 3 total MC sts (add 2 MC sts).
Since it's knitted bottom up, read the "chart" from R to L.

"We the people are the only leaders."
Politicians SAY they are for The People. But they fail to have the police protect us by ARRESTING and JAILING ICE TERRORISTS the moment those thugs throw teargas at protesters.
We don’t listen to posers who TALK but never use their power to HELP.
We The People are the only leaders. Nobody else.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Getting a little Baltic zen while I sew a dress for a Polish formal tomorrow. Yes Tomorrow.
Probably won't finish, but it will be "fun" to try. I also have to draft a new pattern since this one is the wrong size. Nothing like last minute prep!

Some people don’t (yet) understand the significance of this moment. There is now NO RESTRAINT on the fascists. Congress, courts can pass laws or issue orders but the fascists won’t obey them.
Stop focusing on laws, politicians or elections.
Now WE THE PEOPLE must END the regime. Ourselves.

Keep up the fight, folks! Stay peaceful, stand strong, and take breaks when you need them.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

So.
To date, I have seen ONE Dem Rep in Congress call for ICE to be abolished. Ilhan Omar.
Not defunded. Not trained and restrained.
ABOLISHED.
Are there any others? If so, post them and let's get a count on the number of Dems in Congress.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

This is who the US executed extrajuduciously today.
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

In my TBR list.
We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
