Make no mistake the only people they listened to were the billionaires who own the teams. The billionaires didn’t want them. ICE doesn’t care what anyone else thinks.

Even if you help an ICE agent having a seizure, they will still detain and charge you.

Bill for hip replacement $250,000. No wonder people without insurance don’t get needed medical care.

A new version of the Rickroll for our fascist area - a FL congressional candidate bought nazis.us, and redirected it to the DHS website. As of now, it still works.

We love this kind of sand in the gears. What other sites should get the redirect treatment?
US House candidate buys nazis.us domain to redirect visitors to homeland security
Mark Davis, running in Florida, says he bought domain because Republican party had gone ‘full fascist’

Autistic Barbie met with joy, controversy
Do all autistic people interested in Barbie look like this doll or wear headphones or use an AAC device? No. But it is an important social statement on a global stage.

Nothing beats starting the new year with a hip replacement! Now you can have surgery at 730 and be home by 4pm! Science!!!

In an effort to control the controlables I have once again started to exervise again. My 50 year old joints appreciate the etrike and the rower.

So trans people under attack. Conservative Supreme Court you could have just remanded it back to the lower court. But no, you had to be sycophants.

Today my electric tricycle arrives. Yay, exercise. Because being on my feet all day isn’t enough.

This week is fall break. The problem with fall break is the over consumption of hot coffee. When at work with students only room temperature coffee is drunk. There is also the added relaxation of reseeding the lawn and the 27 school tee shirts for the next month of teaching. Ah, fall break.

To the young man I helped tonight. Thank you for wearing a helmet. Watching a truck drive over your head was horrific enough. Please slow down on your motorcycle from now on.

We moved into our fifth house and it’s our first not new house. It’s a 1995 fixer upper. So far it has new paint and a radon mitigation system. Bill is now fixing the stair leading to the second floor. Every weekend I’m cutting out more and more rose bushes. If only the kids could lend a hand!

Today a former student came by to say goodbye. Her family is moving back to Columbia because they don’t have papers. This smart hardworking girl will lose her education and safety. This sucks.

Two things happened today. Charlie Kirk was killed talking about gun violence and school shootings. A school shooting happened in Evergreen, Colorado. Both of these things could have prevented by gun control.

First world problem: I spilled grey paint (a color I love) onto our baby poop brown deck that I hate (the deck and the color are both awful). Do I love the tiny spill droplets or do they bother me because I can see them and they aren’t the same color? Can I rip out the deck and put in a patio now?

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said “special circumstances” may require ICE agents to go into schools.

That’s how fascism creeps in: by normalizing fear, making classrooms feel like prisons, and putting children in danger.

They don't need to do "wellness checks" in schools.

The good news about being home on a Friday is watching my dogs chase the squirrels along the fence, drink coffee in my backyard, and do chores whenever I feel like it. I’m trying to think of a downside.
