ScopesTownBoos 👻 @scopestownlib.bsky.social · Nov 15

I'm a retiree in TN w/a wicked/absurd sense of humor. I acquired & displayed memorabilia for Hard Rock Cafe in the 90s. I love trivia & know a little about a lot of things.

I'm good at aggregating info & problem solving. Smart, empathetic ppl are my tribe. I'm occasionally snarky.

I follow back.

How do these people feed and clothe themselves? It truly boggles the mind.

The younger MAGA women have no clue about the credit card/mortgage/birth control thing.

Ah, the good old days, when Ds and Rs worked together to benefit society.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

I sense that my wallet won't be happy, but thanks for this suggestion. Just ordered a couple single pouches to test on the diva.

Jeez. She's already given birth to 3 of his spawn in 5 years??

I didn't realize they are both Jewish. The self-hatred must be strong, considering all the Nazi shit they espouse.

After many months, I put on background music at home. I also accomplished a lot this week. Maybe this deep, dark depression is lifting.

My cat is still judging me, though.
