The injury didn't happen due to the gender or misgendering. The injury happened because physical mismatches exist and injuries happen. Concussions are the 2nd most common injury in high school volleyball. Ankle strains are # 1.

Is this fair?

Timeline cleanse …

Over my backyard tonight:
The Northern Lights over residential housing. The night sky is a vibrant red transitioning to green on the horizon.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov … That doesn’t look like ICE preventing this man from finding his wife. That looks like our Illinois State Police providing security for the illegal detention facility AND doing ICE’s job by instructing him how to look online for info.

OUR ISP. OUR DIME. #WhatAreWeDoing?
Illinois State Police prevent a man in a suit from approaching the Broadview ICE Detention Center. Illinois State Police, not ICE.

It’s right there.
A Black ICE agent in tactical gear and a hoodie antagonizes the person taking the photo. The closed caption reads “Sir, my emblem is placed right here.” A sticker reading “Attention black ice” has been added to the image.

Just to be clear: ISP intervened to prevent the access. Not sure if that is Illinois State Police or ICE Supplied by Pritzker.

Donald doesn’t need the National Guard when we are providing security for him and making Illinois residents pay the bill.

It takes special training to be able to toss a tear gas canister and flip off a judge in the some arm-movement. It’s more of an art than a science.

Photo from the article:
Unthreatened, masked soldiers dressed in tactical gear escort a field general through a parking lot. The unmasked general (Gregory Bovino) is throwing a tear gas canister.

This one isn’t old though …
Numerous stickers, some peeled off and some intact, adorn a gas pump. The stickers features a picture of Ted Cruz and a caption reading “This man ate my son.”

So … even the Burger King is saying the government of the Wannabe King has no sense, er, cents.
A sign that says: “For guests paying in cash: The Federal Reserve has stopped making Pennie’s and our local banks are already running out. If you choose to pay in cash, we will round the cost of your meal up or down to the nearest nickel. Example: $10.57–>$10.55; $10.58–> $10.60. If you choose to pay with a credit or debit card, you will be charged the exact price. We apologize for any inconvenience.”

Alt text: A bald, elderly man in a tactical vest and reading glasses (t-shirt and jeans underneath) kneels and feebly points a handgun at the camera. He may be taking a defensive posture, or he may have fallen and can’t get up.

Turns out what we thought was a spree of ICEholes shooting Illinois residents in Chicago is actually just a movie production …

Alt text included for the visually impaired … and so this guy can follow his fame. (I recommend the alt text even if you are not visually impaired.)
A doddering, bald senior citizen has fallen to his knees and can’t get up. He is wearing tactical gear and reading glasses. The man aims a pistol feebly at the camera, as if he is in a Hollywood shootout.

Let me guess, was it the same manly man man who shot this lady in the face, then attacked her from behind and put her in a choke hold until his manly man man buddies dragged him away?

He was the little bitch that shot her in the face with pepper balls and then proceeded to attack her from behind and put her in a choke hold as she flashed a peace sign.
A protestor stands in front of a black van while an ICE antagonizer, sorry, agent shoots her in the face with pepper balls. The same ICE agent that just shot a protestor in the face with pepper balls attacks her from behind and puts her in a choke hold.

A rushed bulletin board I put up last school year. Looks as if we are back to these stupid games so I’ll need to redo it with the Constitution.
A school bulletin board featuring articles and images about historically important minority individuals and events which the Trump administration tried to scrub from government websites. A sign in the middle features a computer screen with “Access Denied” on it, followed below by “Reading prevents history from being erased.”
