This weekend I am setting up Signal and 🧊 alerts on my neighbor's phone.

She is 25 years younger than I am.

We have now reached the point in #history where my friend's BF has asked her to take care of his dog if he gets grabbed.

He was adopted from another country over 30 years ago.

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

I used to feel sorry for people living in countries with a #despot in charge and now I live in a country with a #despot in charge.

This past week my neighbor and I went to a #DragShow so her husband babysat my #dog Lily. They had a great time and I included a book for him to read to her if she got sleepy.

Have a feeling this will become an historic photo years from now about this troubling time in our country
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
