I hate trying to call out aspects that I hope make me seem interesting; they don't exist, but I'm a real person. I like things that start with b: books, birds, bikes, bakeries, and bread. Oh, and cats.

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons?
This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.
