Responding to Speaker Mike Johnson
This was predicted as what was going to happen every where these bathroom laws are put in place. Because it all comes down to enforcing cis gender steriotypes which a large part of the public doesn’t fit into neatly. Some women are more masculine looking / acting than the sexiest males can accept, and some men are more feminine looking / acting than some people figure “real” men are like. The fact is very few fit the stereotypes pushed by TV / media. This is especially true of younger people who did not buy into the old craze of buff muscular men and slinky sexy women. They accept their bodies and enjoy who they are. The fake concern for women that hate groups like TERFs and religious groups pushing their version of church doctrine on everyone else is simply bigotry being disguised. These bathroom laws help no one, protect no one, and harm a lot of cis and trans people. Hugs
At the end of this clip the guest describes the conditions the kids are being held under in these for profit prisons. Horrible food, prison like conditions which means no freedom of movement, and other things. Remember the boy and his father are here legally like so many others scooped up by these racist ICE goon Gestapo gang thugs and the tRump admin. Hugs
The 2 year old got her hand cut during the attack on him. The father signed his deportation order because he worried they would keep coming back after his daughter and wanted to spare her that. The racists got what they wanted. The video also describes how ICE was arresting people, detaining them, and then releasing them in other parts of the country. Hugs
Listen to tRump’s crazy ranting in the video below and it is so bizarre. He claims he built the military and so many crazy things I am stunned that this person is the US president. Hugs
An immigration attorney goes after ICE gang Gestapo thugs who pretend they know the laws and make claims that the lawyer shoots down with ease. However at the start one of the gang thugs reacts angrily and shoves her, then gets in her face to threaten her claiming she shoved him. She told him she was an attorney which seemed to give him pause even though he ran his mouth at her making threats to detain her or take her down, which is a euphemism for a beating. Hugs

Chelsea with some pointers:
And for no particular reason but that I ran across it; I guess it’s a Corgi thing:
And a protest video:
Good Evening, Everyone!! It was 15 degrees on this unknown-numbered day of the apocalypse. I salted, chipped ice, shoveled while I shivered, my shoulders ached, my lips chapped… I’m so looking forward to the greens of spring!






In all honesty, though, I’m a Michigan kid. I had some of my favorite days on winter sleds, building show forts in plowed snow piles, snowball fights (and yes, I did save one in the freezer just to throw it at my sister in June :D) and snowmobiles. I can ice-fish without a shanty, cross-country ski and drink peppermint schnapps with the best of them. So, this year’s winter has been a measure of beautiful nights of softly falling snow while I sat by the window with a hot cup of coffee – you know, in the midst of the shoveling and salting and freezing and stuff. I remember it more fondly as a kid?

May you find your moments of zen in the harshness that life brings. Stay Warm!

The video below has people recounting the gang thug brutality of ICE attacking and shooting people doing nothing wrong. ICE thugs were totally out of control and had no respect for civil rights or the lives of the people they attacked. The ICE thugs seemed to be jacked up in rage by some substance and enjoyed causing pain and being cruel. Hugs
The video below details how the ICE gang thugs were bragging about shooting innocent people. The thugs did not care how brutal they were with the woman but instead seemed to relish being allowed to be so brutal. Hugs
The video below details the conditions at the ICE concentration camp, including that a 2 month old baby is being held there. Hugs
