Having lived a gentle life as a lady for a long time, I found, in 2016, that the lady was a sleeper chrysalis for an alien hippocampus with a mission to be a gadfly against the patriarchy and to usher in KAMALOT. I pursue the Colour of Magic, OCTARINE.

It is alarming that the Trump Admin & rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child from Everett, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away & reportedly subject him to harrowing conditions.

They must stop violating our constitutional rights.

My full statement:

A graphic that reads:

“It is absolutely alarming that the Trump Administration and its rogue ICE agents would abduct a 13-year-old child, transport him to a facility over 500 miles away without his family, lawyer or a court knowing, and reportedly subject him to harrowing, inhumane conditions, including inadequate nutrition and sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum blanket while still healing from a broken foot.

“He is a 7th-grader who should have been met with compassion and care, not criminalized and sent to an adult prison.

“The Trump Administration must stop violating the constitutional rights of our constituents. I join the chorus of community voices demanding basic adherence to due process, preservation of this child’s constitutional rights, and his immediate return to his family.”

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

Amid shutdown, Trump administration guts department overseeing special education

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.

"The tables will turn one day," @govpritzker.illinois.gov said. "These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump admin because the statute of limitations would not have run out.”

Klippenstein: To what extent it’s going to activate what are called Joint Terrorism Task Forces?

The military is really limited in terms of what they can do.

But these Joint Terrorism Task Forces don’t have those limitations. They can do and go places the military can’t.

Every woman in America knows exactly what it’s like to be punched in the mouth really hard.
Twice.
It’s what Trump said he wanted to do to Democratic women.
And he sure has.

This whole Remigration thing is crazy.
America is pot au feu.
You can’t take a really superb, slowly perfected blend of ingredients and an inspired recipe, and undo the crucible alchemy of the process that transformed it into something different and greater than the sum of its parts!
