a note on "The Drain"; its title and opening concept are derived from the podcast @thedrain.bsky.social which i recommend for California residents... it has taught me lots of things i didn't want to know about the state that (might) be my final resting place lol

Please understand this is happening in literally dozens of locations around the city simultaneously. If an ICE vehicle stops, community members materialize in seconds and do everything they can to stop the kidnappings. We are under siege and using every tool to fight back.
