I watched a young man get snatched by ICE outside yoga this morning. I filmed the whole thing. His name is Lucio Fabian Navos Nietos. I know this because they just left his passport and all other identification in his car. And left his car. They don’t care who he is. They will deport him anyway.
If in my last post one were to replace the word “ICE” with “SS” and an obviously Jewish name with an obviously Latino one and imagined him being put on a train instead of a plane… There is no difference. Think on that. We all imagined what we would have done if we lived there then. We live there now.

Laura Karen Ingram is upset by protestors wearing masks - but seems to have no problem with ICE doing the same. 🤷🏻♂️
🪦 Weir all sorry to see you move on to the great gig in the sky Bob. Thank you for your earthly contributions.
