Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers β€œjust following orders” should not be exempted.

Houston, Texas ICE GOONS hospitalized a 16-year-old U.S. citizen on his way to school. The teen, a star football and soccer player, was violently detained alongside his father. Despite his cries for help, β€œI’m underage!” the agents tackled him, resulting in severe neck and back injuries.

That’s my home town. We now live up near Sac - I attended the Women’s March there in 2018. So amazing how the crowds continue to grow! Love you, Allison!

This is one of my favorite mantras - it never fails to center me and allow me to focus on the fact that feelings come and go. Bad days come and go. Have faith in the temporary.

So that's all that's needed for execution in this administration - a suspicion of guilt.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.
