Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 48 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.
The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.
It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

So this door to door guy trying to sell Verizon products showed up. Kind of pushy. Tried to get in the house for water.
Here’s the thing. My dog dislikes outsiders. She’s been barking since he got near the property. (Outsiders = anyone who might try to get within 5’ of me).

Today is Captains Practice day. This involves driving several towns over, dropping the kid in the rink, and sitting in the parking lot for an hour and a half.
Here is a picture of a penguin, which is more fun than a parking lot.
