Same here. If I don’t laugh occasionally I would be weeping uncontrollably. The frogs & other “creatures” are the perfect way to peacefully protest. They cannot steal our joy.

If you are a lawyer, please help out and do this: bring or borrow a megaphone, point out what the police and/or ICE are doing is not clear, and speak out! Use your tools to help with what is going on!
