It’s another muggy day here in the tiny old CatBox, but I’m feeling somewhat better, and I should be in the saddle both today and tomorrow. WWWendy and I go to sign the lease in the shiny new CatBox late tomorrow afternoon, so I will be showering, eating, and getting to bed late. I may need to take Thursday off to recover.

Rachel makes perfect sense. The rabid Republican Sheeple love their Fuhrer’s racist diatribes. At the same time, he angers people, who point others to what they already knew instead of what could inspire more to oppose him, such as the absolute proof that criminal bastard, Julian Assange, worked hand in glove with Russia and the Republican Reich. RESIST!!
From NY Times: The immigration raid early Monday morning at the El Paraiso Apartments in Houston was not exactly a major victory for law enforcement. It was foiled, in part, by 19-year-old Kaylin Garcia.
Shortly before 7 a.m. Monday, Ms. Garcia was sitting in her car near her family’s apartment, in a largely Hispanic section of southwest Houston about 15 miles from downtown. She saw four Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents walk by — one dressed in camouflage fatigues and the others wearing black T-shirts and bulletproof vests. They were knocking on apartment doors. She took a picture of the agents with her phone, posted it to her Facebook page and notified some of her neighbors.
At least one of her neighbors saw Ms. Garcia’s picture and heard about her warnings — the family slid the chain closed on their door. When the agents knocked on the door, the family — an undocumented Honduran man and his wife, along with their American-born children and another relative — kept silent and never opened it. After a minute or two, the agents left.
“I wasn’t scared,” Ms. Garcia said. “I was scared for my neighbors.” She added, “Nobody opened the door.”
The anticipated large-scale ICE raids aimed at rounding up at least 2,000 migrant parents and children appear to have run into similar problems in other parts of the country. With widespread publicity about the raids, many undocumented migrants have been counseled to avoid opening their doors.
Finally! A win for the good guys (gals too)! RESIST!!
