The reforms Americans want from Trump's ICE and CBP are not radical, they're about protecting our basic rights. Senate Republicans should be working with us on these commonsense reforms instead of jamming through another blank check for Trump to terrorize our communities.

Brother who invited you onto the pitch?? I love the NPL for shit like this tho I remember Kevin Muscat daddying John Kosmina back in 06 But as a Victory fan I really just wanna ask Kev, wtf were you thinking doing that to Adrian Zahra? Shit was pure violence and made me uncomfortable as a child
Um salve para o jornalista @octavio_guedes que esculhambou Flávio Bolsonaro ao vivaço! “Ele não tem preparo nem para administrar loja de chocolate, porque faz lavagem de dinheiro, quanto mais para ser presidente da República.”
Also please enjoy this custom illustrated SVG animation I made just for this article! I had a lot of fun playing with how to illustrate AI slop/shovelware, and felt like these possessed floating shovels really hit the spot.

Oohhh look at that nice fence😁 I’m on the edge of a valley ( the woods) and frequently have visitors. I’m torn between growing food ( and protecting it) and having a nice boring view of the trees. Besides what you can see here, I have a second backyard that we call “the lower plateau” 😝

Took some time to watch NYL-PHX OT. Two more clips of GSV attacking 15, with VB pulling vs drop and then horns vs. 12. Temi hits the middie. Hiedeman (first, Williams) very consistent with setting her leverage to the wing and forcing middle. Good old empty PnR and horns reps.

Why I don't watch sports. There's a reason why the Romans used to say If you want to keep people distracted, You give them bread and circuses. It's because they knew that If people were fed and entertained, Then they wouldn't question anything & wouldn't think for themselves.
