Here I am brokenhearted. Simmering hope. I am a tiny blue dot in a sea of red rectums. I garden, fish, star gaze and miss my cats. Wondering where we go from here. FYI: hello, I’m fine this morning. This is not a dating site. DM=block 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

I’m starting to suspect they’re buying time. But, for what- completion of destruction or corruption of the Epstein files?

Isn’t there a law against using government websites for campaign propaganda? These sites are supposed to be for everyone. This is tacky, unethical, unprofessional not to mention a lie. I’m referring to the banner at the top.

By proceeding with the demolition of the White House East Wing before seeking approval from federal agencies for a new ballroom, President Donald Trump forced the issue. It's a strategy known as "stake-driving."

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Turn off your Face ID and Touch ID if you are taking your phones to the protests. Keep it in airplane mode and use encrypted apps where possible. Protect yourself.
