You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

Earth’s beauty... Life's quietness... Creation’s sublime freedom:

The aerial grace of a hummingbird,

Then, a gift of peaceful clarity, resting within one's soul.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?
