I've been knitting too much. I'm writing "does not match the pattern" when I meant "does not match anticipated direction." I still have some wordsmith-ing to do, clearly.

The right to peaceful protest is a fundamentally American value. Donald Trump is once against abusing his power to sow fear and chaos at the expense of the American people. I applaud @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov for taking action to protect Californians and stand by ready to assist in any way we can.

Today my niece, who was born here in the US, asked if we could be deported even though her Haitian American parents were also born here. That’s how things are going with this open season on immigration. If this kid is worried we can imagine how others from all immigrant populations are feeling.
