So very, very confused by it all. But, heck, that keeps it interesting.
This cold bites. I haven’t been for a walk in 4 days. Apparently should’v gone in early getting sick days v staying in my hotel room hoping exertion avoidance would help it pass sooner.
Wrong move: my sinuses are in overdrive and I don’t have enough pockets to stash unused/used tissues if I walk.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever.
By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her.

‘Political Prisoner’ Leqaa Kordia Has Been Hospitalized, DHS Says. After Calling 16 Hospitals, Her Lawyers Say They Can't Find Her.

Stephen Miller, who nobody elected, is the mastermind. His boss couldn't organize this if his life depended on it. He only cares about bilking more billions. But he likes the racism, so he lets the bat fly.

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes.
Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes.
And thousands are CHILDREN.
This will be another of America's greatest shames.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.
Dear all saying no worries, Trump can't round up 10M immigrants because their work is needed for the US economy: please, remember that MOST of the camps in Germany from 1938 were "Arbeitslager" - labor camps. Deporting people is hard. But locking people up and making them work, that's been done. 1/

Also took a rapid test. Negative. Will do another in a few days.
Normally I test 2 days after a con (mask 7) to let things get to detectable limits but managed to catch a cold from someone there and stayed in my room Sat/Sun missing all. Ta for posts folks!
I take one before I head to cons too. 😀
