The fuck kind of answer is this

Former lit adjunct turned author of mysteries set in 19thc U.S. featuring women who can't mind their own business and have the scars to prove it. Book banning makes me crazy. I love cats, container gardening, yarn crafts, and democracy.
The fuck kind of answer is this
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

NASHVILLE: βThey used a permanent marker on his skin because they were keeping score.βπ
Senator @jeffyarbro.bsky.social lets loose after this horrific report about @TNHighwayPatrol & ICE blatantly racial profiling and terrorizing immigrants: nashvillebanner.com/2026/02/19/i...
Irish immigrants weren't welcomed with open arms in the 19thc...they were considered a scourge.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
Watching Trumpβs highly trained, fully armored and masked ICE goons being totally played by a delivery guy on a bike. They usually require an indoor hallway and an unarmed immigrant leaving a legal hearing to really show their stuff.
Not when you win! π€£
Can he really call it a rose garden, though? It has neither roses nor a garden. More of a cement-and-umbrella club.
Wow. I'm sure she hasn't, we'll have to show her.
Really? He's been on vacay half the time.
So ridiculous...a case of "your face hurt my fist." smh
I was just on a press call with TX Rep. Nicole Collier, @corybooker.com, and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social.
Rep. Collier joined us from the TX Capitol. She was ordered to leave the call, and threatened with a felony charge if she didnβt comply.
This is an outrageous violation of her freedom of speech.
Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news
Can he scream "I'm Pooty's bitch" any louder?
Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.
Nice work, @msnbc.com β every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.
π¨ #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trumpβs so-called βOne Big Beautiful Bill,β retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag.
β $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.
With ICE's *enormous* new budget and its ability to hire *many* more agents, the United States is about to enter an era of brutal domestic terrorism that we've never seen before.
To vote for this bill is to vote to starve and kill Americans, and to saddle those who survive with a mountain of debt and a hotter globe. That is a policy choice. And everyone who votes yes owns that choice.
Am I reading the book cover right? I wasn't aware of an alternative spelling to "inconvenient"?
Just drove through Blackstone VA where there is still a sign up: "Farmers for Trump." smdh
I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover weβve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. π‘
Please share this. Our government has failed in its most basic duty of keeping its citizens safe. Instead, it has cut and run β by closing the American embassy, by telling Americans they are on their own, by abandoning them in a war zone. Where is the wall-to-wall coverage of this betrayal?
Something weird is going on over at @threads @meta today...duplicate threads everywhere, under all different user names! I usually only read/comment on other posts over there, but I checked my posts (most recent was 3wks ago), and they're duplicated, too. Anyone here know what might be going on? Tx!
They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leaderβand now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you.
They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.
Trump makes wearing a face covering in public a criminal offense. Law enacted by Truth Social Edict from his country club.
The great American educator Neil Postman wrote in βThe Soft Revolutionβ that students should βadopt the symbols of American values rather than attack them,β emphasizing that the real revolution is in demonstrating what those values - liberty, justice & equality - mean in practice.
Not "flirting" - he's written the wedding vows.
