I want this woman thrown in prison for at least a decade.

I was raised on food stamps. We'd buy LOTS of rice/beans and my mom would buy me a pack of cookies. When I had them, I felt like I was like other kids. The same kids that used to constantly make fun of me for being poor. So...I agree... let the kids get the cookies.

The Pentagon is ordering journalists to sign a gag pledge—even with respect to gathering unclassified information. Here are the facts. #Pentagon #Journalism #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment #Democracy #News

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked journalists from @amNewYork and @AP. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

This man was taken to the hospital after being knocked unconscious and losing all feeling for 40 minutes. ICE threw him to the floor for the crime of "exercising 1st amendment rights." The journalist was taking photos of ICE agents in a public area of a govt building. #ICE

Here is the 1st video of a Klamath River salmon passing the Keno Dam fish ladder in 100+ years. This is another positive sign that the river is on the path to recovery following the removal of 4 dams last year. While much work remains, there is genuine reason for optimism.

Gavin Newsom: “I’ll be signing a bill, the first in the nation, saying enough. To ICE, unmask. What are you afraid of? You’re gonna go out and you’re gonna do enforcement? Provide an ID. Tell us what agency you represent.”

@queenofthesou1 That’s a lot for some people. Keep going.

I just deleted my post about how many sober days I had under my belt. The last time I did that, some woman said, "Come back when you've done 3 years." I shouldn't let people like that bother me, but it did hurt my feelings a bit. So, yeah. For anyone who cares, it's 48 days.
