MS Now clips about ICE
ICE nearly kills another child by mistreatment and ignoring their worsening health and healthcare needs. This is so familiar if you remember history. Lack of food, no healthcare, no humanity. Hugs
Children cry, thinking their parents will be taken if ICE follows them home. All because they are brown skinned. Is this the USA? Hugs

In keeping with my promise to the blog community and to Ron I started supper early
I decided I wanted grilled cheese sandwiches. So at four PM I started supper. And yes I made far too many as I can only eat one or one and half. But here are the steps I go through to make good cheesy thick grilled cheese and ham sandwiches.
I start with getting all the ingrediance out and ready.
If you notice I have already buttered the bread. I is important to use real butter and not a substitute as the substitutes burn before the bread is toasted, the cheese melted, and the ham hot. Now to build the sandwiches.
First the cheese on the bread.
I used two different cheeses on on each side of the bread. Swiss and the other side colby Jack. Then two slices of ham.
Then the rest of the cheese.
Then grill to perfection.
But again I made too many. I ate 1 and a half sandwiches. I wish Ron was here he would eat the rest. Hugs

Students say man threatened to shoot them during anti-ICE protest in Santa Clarita
There is a video of the confrontation at the link below. Adults threating young people for using their constitutional right is horrifying and shows the republican party is entirely demanding a one party rule that only supports maga views. Anything else must be destroyed. Hugs

LOS ANGELES – An anti-ICE protest turned scary for students as a man pulled up and allegedly threatened to shoot them.
Saugus High School students can be seen on video running away from a black truck during an anti-ICE protest at Central Park on Tuesday afternoon.
What they’re saying:
Witness Rebecca Hindman, who runs the social media group “Rise Up SCV”, was stopped at a nearby light and approached the students.
“That’s when I found out there was a young man in a red sweatshirt who is a senior at Saugus and that the gentleman in the car had threatened to shoot him in the face,” Hindman told FOX 11.
No gun can be seen in the videos, but students insisted the man threatened them. After initially running away, they went back to the truck to confront the man.
“I’m like what are you doing, why are you doing this, you shouldn’t be threatening children that’s not ok. He just was abstinent and seemed to be getting a kick that he threatened children. That he threatened a Hispanic child with potential death,” Hindman added.
“From the videos I’ve seen, something was definitely used to threaten him. I don’t know what because the initial reaction of the students that were there was definitely fear.”
Dig deeper:
The LA County Sheriff’s Department said no gun was found.
They also issued the following statement, “Responding deputies canvassed the area but were unable to locate the male adult. The Deputies contacted the involved parties at the scene, and the incident was documented. Investigators are continuing to pursue leads and are contacting additional witnesses as part of the ongoing investigation.”
Local perspective:
Hindman said a threat to shoot students near a campus that experienced a mass shooting on November 14th, 2019 is especially disturbing.
