I'm a horse and cat lover and am married to a jewel of a man. I'm a traveler. Born and bred Californian. Ex-SDA and am grateful to be free of religion. My beliefs align with the Democratic party.

In a time of few things to celebrate, I have a milestone to celebrate. 40 years ago this wonderful, gentle man married me and has been by my side through joy and sorrow. He is my soul

Apparently ICE arrests are at an all-time high and I'm guessing they've managed that by decentralizing. Focus on a specific urban area, and you get a lot of targeted resistance. Anyway, helpful reminder that ICE are literally everywhere and we should all be watching out for our neighbors.
If you live in an area that has pockets of immigrants, and you think nothing is happening with ICE, you are probably wrong. I've been hearing about things happening EVERYWHERE right now.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops.

But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents.

I’m heading to Danbury.

A good way to think about the relevance of James Carville is if someone who worked on Grover Cleveland’s successful 1892 campaign spent all their time critiquing FDR’s 1932 campaign as not being the real Democratic Party that Cleveland represented.

Quick advice to any Democrat running for anything or already in office:

Every interview, in fact almost every sentence should end with “Trump crime family” or “corrupt.”

The Justice Department seems to be going out of its way to avoid saying that Cole Allen didn't fire any weapons at all inside the Washington Hilton — and that the officer hit was most likely hit by friendly fire. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/is-the-jus...
Is the Justice Department lying about Saturday's "shooting"?
