On the contrary. Spitting at ICE agents is what an angel would do.
You will be shocked to learn the NYT has unearthed evidence indicating that this nurse who worked at the VA and got summarily murdered in the street by agents of the state Was No Angel.
More than a week before federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their SUV, according to newly unearthed videos. Watch here.

The difference between the president and I is that I was raised to be a decent human being, and my faith teaches me to have compassion.

Join that crazy sports or hobbies club that you always wanted to do but thought it was out of reach. Hot air ballooning, scuba diving, flying lessons, archery, climbing etc. Club participation makes things affordable and there is usually a good second hand kit market.

This is a disgracefully dishonest headline from the BBC. Its motivation can only be deliberately to mislead the public about who lost the case.

FACTOID…
Before the “trans-panic” set in, in the UK… GENUINE research carried out showing that trans people’s brains more closely resemble their sexual identity than our birth sex.
Not the BS papers the GCs constantly refer to, all referencing each other.

In #JapaneseFolklore kubikajiri is a #yokai that eats the heads of its victims, living or dead. It waits in graveyards for the freshly buried dead, which it then digs up to feast on. Kubikajiri smells of blood and in some accounts it is also headless. Some believe they may...

Welcome to the resistance *checks notes* rich gunfuckers
Holy shit, there's an open carry #2A protest of ICE happening in Douglas County Colorado -- a very wealthy and very red suburb county of Denver. (I lived there for 16 years.) The Trump Administration pissing off committed gun owners sufficiently for them to join the protests against ICE is wild.
