I have had a migraine all day. It’s so bad I can’t stand the sound of my own voice. I cannot cook like this. Can anyone pitch in? I’m really hurting.

Ok, y'all. Growing up in the USian Southwest (AR, NV, TX, with family from/in OK), the emphatic reply to "did you really do that?!" was, "you bet your sweet bibby!" I uttered these words as a child. As an adult, I need know: what in the world is a 'bippy'? What was my innocent tongue even uttering?

Are we really going to keep pretending that when USian founders wrote "all men are created equal" or "we the people" they recognized anyone other than white male landowners as "men" or "people"? They didn't afford rights to all humans, they violently took rights away from women and PoC. 1/4

what do when you encounter ICE of CPB:
What To Do IF YOU ENCOUNTER ICE

BE PREPARED WHEN THE ICEMAN COMETH
(Based on the full info at wethepeopledefend.org)

Have your proof of natural-born citizenship or proof of status on you at al times.

If you are not a natural-born U.S. citizen be sure to set up a a relationship with a local immigration attorney. Carry your immigration attorney's contact information with you at all times, and try to memorize their number.

Set your phone so it needs a pin or password to be unlocked.

Turn on 'share your location' and share it with a trusted person.

IF. YOU ARE STOPPED OR TAKEN BY ICE OR CBP

Be polite. Do not be belligerent or hostile.

Show them your proof of citizenship or status.

Ask them "Am I free to leave?"
- If they say "yes", leave.
- If they say "no", ask them why, and then tell them you want to call your attorney, and do NOT answer any other questions, respond to each question with "I am invoking my right to remain silent, and I want to call my attorney."

-Do not unlock your phone for them unless they are able to produce a warrant that they let you read.

- CALL YOUR ATTORNEY!

Every suspected hantavirus case took a commercial flight to get home. They were in crowded airports and on airplanes. They weren’t isolated. They weren’t instructed to mask. No precautions were taken. The lack of precautionary principle is maddening. If you’re traveling, wear an N95.
