Not quite a Golden Girl, but a Silver Belle. Looking at life through rose colored liberal reading glasses, focusing on joy as much as possible for awhile. We have done what we could. Winter is coming.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

Sixteen years after Citizens United, billionaires still drown out voters with dark money. Wages stagnate. Prices rise. Democracy bends toward whoever can pay the most. We don’t fix this by waiting—we fix it by ending it.

Shut ICE down, remove the leadership, break DHS apart, and investigate their crimes.
Screenshot of an X post by “Read Raising Expectation…” saying “You don’t reform the Gestapo, you abolish them and try them for their crimes.” Embedded is a quoted post from “Home of the Brave” stating that ICE Associate Director Marcos Charles says individuals ICE agents encounter near a “target” are “fair game” for interrogation. At the bottom is a TV interview still showing a man seated, with “60 MINUTES” text on screen.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.
Screenshot of an X post from FactPost (@factpostnews) with the headline “US citizens detained by ICE speak out,” followed by a quoted account describing being dragged outside, put in a headlock, repeatedly saying “I’m a citizen. I have an ID,” and an agent responding “That don’t matter,” plus hearing wailing and crying from detainees and banter and laughter from federal agents. Below the text is a split-screen TV news image: on the left, a heavily armored officer in a helmet and gas mask with the caption “MINNEAPOLIS ON EDGE,” and on the right, a blonde female news anchor in a white blazer in a studio. A lower banner reads “CHRIS JANSING REPORTS,” with an MSNBC-style logo and a “LIVE” timestamp.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.
