I’ve been talking about being afraid of denaturalization since the 1st time he was in office; I sought legal council at the time. I FOIAd my papers to insure the government has them but if they are committed to getting rid of Colombians (or others) where will it stop?
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this.

West Virginia National Guard shouldn’t have been deployed in Washington DC.

Victims of the shooter and the president.

Also I love that in the Port Townsend Facebook group people are arranging “grocery buddies” to help make sure people get to the grocery store! I mean it’s sad that people don’t have access with transit but nice neighbors are helping neighbors.

Today is the day of my party. I haven’t had one here before (7 years now!) since my place isn’t accessible. Steep hill and lots of stairs. I apologize that it makes my place unwelcoming. We need universal design.
