I’m an older American from the Land of Lincoln who is heartbroken over what is happening to my Country. I garden to keep my sanity.
She deserves all the good things.
The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago last fall, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records that show how the feds respond when “their agents use deadly force against U.S. citizens.”

Insults are not capital offenses,Greggy.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

I have high hopes for her
For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

When Maria Curtis was born with Down syndrome in 1963, her Naperville family refused to institutionlize her and she would thrive.

This is a horrible disease for a child to suffer and 💯 preventable
Subtext: This entire family *is* vaccinated, and the mom got a booster while pregnant. Their child was just 2 weeks old when she contracted whooping cough -- too young to be vaccinated.
But experts say if vax rates drop, this kind of infection becomes more common -- bc the disease is just around.

Vaccination rates are plummeting across the country, as part of a larger, troubling trend of growing vaccine hesitancy that is fueling a resurgence of preventable diseases, an NBC News and Stanford University investigation found.

When they destroyed our Mary figure in our anti-ICE #nativity, I bet they didn’t think that we would make it MORE powerful! Honestly, if you tear something down that you don’t like, you’re pretty much never the good guy. That goes for nativities and the entire county, btw. #DHS, take note.

It’s not all that we could do, but it’s all that we will do. once we decided that we could live with a Sandy Hook, the mirage that we care about this dissipated.
Trump: "I've been fully briefed on the Brown University situation. What a terrible thing it is. All we can do right now is pray for the victims." (Trump falsely posted that the shooter is in custody.)

I’ve seen this happen to my elderly neighbors. I’m glad about this ruling, but the County should now go after the predatory purchasers to compensate the homeowners.
A federal judge ruled in a class action lawsuit that the way Cook County handles unpaid property taxes violates the U.S. Constitution, a win for homeowners who lost their properties.
