A Nonna on a PA hobby farm I keep for grandchildren who are spread all over the country. Very politically active for the sake of said grandchildren. Vehemently anti maga. Loves scathing humor, gritty commentary, nature and critters of all kinds.

This is so dangerous! President Trump is deliberately inciting race hatred against an ethnic minority, calling on the people of Minnesota to "fight back" against "Somali immigrants." This must be a terrifying moment for the Somali community (who are overwhelmingly US citizens).

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...

After 9/11, thousands of rescue and cleanup crews went to work at ground zero. They were exposed to toxic debris and experienced psychological trauma. Today, many say they live in fear of deportation.

A U.S. senator out there just reposting outright lies. But it's Mike Lee, so it's not surprising at this point.
Screenshot of a post from Sen Mike Lee dated 9 September 2026. It's a quote-tweet of a meme with photos of Abe Lincoln, JFK, RFK Sr., MLK Jr., Reagan, Trump, and Charlie Kirk. The meme text reads "All were shot by Democrats." The shitposter who posted it then writes "Fact" above it. And above that, in his quote-tweet, Sen. Mike Lee writes "'Yeah, but ... January 6th' 'And climate change'"
