Big fan of Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Good Omens, Doctor Who. I love group singing, animals, and being outdoors, especially near the ocean.
We find out tomorrow if my husband is a good candidate for major cancer surgery or if he should get his affairs in order. He's already done a lot of that, fearing the worst. The suspense is killing me. I'm grateful I can drink and not become addicted. Maker's Mark will help me sleep tonight.

1/2 To anyone who is still following me: My husband has cancer--interperitoneal liposarcoma D, a rare but aggressive cancer with a 30% survival rate over 5 years. He has a huge fatty tumor in his abdomen that is pushing organs out of the way. He's going for chemotherapy, then surgery to remove

Help! I dropped my Good Omens 2 coffee mug and smashed it to smithereens. I can't find another one online.

Any ideas? I loved that mug.

So he's in protective custody from the US government.

Let that sink in.
A federal judge is keeping this man in jail to protect him from the federal government.
BREAKING: A federal judge in Tennessee ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in jail for now over concerns that he could be deported if he’s released.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

The law must always be grounded in fundamental principles such as equal rights and due process, or it becomes a tool of oppression.

The courts dismiss their cases, which effectively makes them undocumented, giving the government an excuse to deport them. This shit needs to stop.
What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.

It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.

So ICE took her into custody.

The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

Don't volunteer for deportation. You may end up in hell.
Though he had work authorization under the CBP One app, Jhon Deivis Troconis González was worried about changes in immigration policy under the new administration. He presented himself for voluntary deportation in Jan 2025.

Instead, he was taken into ICE custody and sent to CECOT.

If they're complying with the law, they shouldn't be taken at the courthouse.

Project 2025 is being systematically codified into law. The book is no longer available for sale or download, but you can google the title and come up with some online copies. My downloaded copy has gone AWOL. Big Brother is watching you.
The BUDGET BILL is a TROJAN HORSE for Full Dictatorship. Trump and his Nazi Gestapo inserted so many things in it. Here are a few of them.

The beginning of a long thread detailing how the "big beautiful bill" is straight from Project2025 and the conservative playlist.
Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law:

- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP
- Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

One of the women had a baby with her. They were separated and as of 5pm on May 9, nobody knew where the baby was. THIS IS NOT LEGAL, MORAL, OR SAFE. Video is 9:39.
Terrible what happened in MA.
The Neighbors are all out -
ICE, YOU DO NOT HAVE a WARRANT - This is an illegal arrest.
ICE, YOU DO NOT HAVE a WARRANT - Kidnapping
