We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Remember the video of citizens kicking ICE out of a pizza shop? That place is called *Wrecktangle Pizza,* and they've teamed up with the sex shop next door called *Smitten Kitten* to distribute food & supplies to people who are too afraid to leave home. 🧵

It's always hilarious when a creepypasta involves a ghost or monster texting people or using the internet, what the hell do you mean the bogeyman has made a Facebook account. How the hell is the cryptid sending DM's.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.

My life hack: put my rep and two senators in contacts on my phone. Every time I’m getting mad, leave a 1 minute message (they never answer). Share my short opinion. If I like how they voted, thank them. 5-6 minutes total, demonstrably effective politics, and good for mental health.
