Friendly Neighborhood Mouse @missmouse.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

I've been consistent for a decade: Medicare for All is not just a moral imperative; it's an economic one. Our stupid, unintentional hybrid model creates massive inefficiencies that fuck up every corner of the healthcare system. Those cracks are widening very quickly.

The passing of Pierre Damas Bel is utterly devastating. He was a son, a brother, a college student and JROTC member with dreams of studying medicine—and he embodied exactly what the American dream could look like.

Pierre Damas Bel is one of 350,000 people stripped of their immigration status because the Trump regime hates immigrants of color and promotes racist, anti-immigrant conspiracy theories as a pretext for its inhumane behavior. Pierre Damas Bel.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.
