#Joyisresistance. Go Chicago!

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Let me be clear, that 15 year old CHILD will be TRAUMATIZED over this. Even the Mafia says “no women-no children”. WTF!!!

This now has become something way bigger. The question is, what are WE going to do?

Something NEEDS to stop this. It makes me physically ill.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

This might seem quaint in today’s world but I really miss the silly accounts from Twitter. Like the Greek pantheon, Randy Rainbow (here but barely)… some have migrated… slowly but I miss the joy I got from their antics

I guess once they’ve doubled down it’s nothing to keep upping the ante

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

I'm laughing at the thought of how those vows went - I wonder if anyone got it on video?

Watching this movie and I honestly expected much better acting from a film with a Skarsgard and a Depp. Major cringe fest.
