From a HuffPost article following yet another ICE-related killing in Minneapolis:

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called on President Donald Trump to withdraw the massive ICE presence in his city following the latest fatal shooting of a man by federal agents on Saturday.

“This is a moment to act like a leader,” Frey said during a press conference following the shooting. “Put Minneapolis, put America first. Let’s achieve peace. Let’s end this operation, and I’m telling you our city will come back, safety will be restored. Take action now to remove these federal agents.”

I read a quote this morning from an administration spokesperson who said that Trump’s sole motivation for “everything” that he does, he does for the good of the American people. Nothing but lies, nothing but grandstanding, nothing but cattle excrement.

Enough is freakin’ ENOUGH.

I fill bin and bird feeder

who must be as weary

his clever maneuverings

how he tilts his little puppy head

the many ways he scams us

out of treats throughout the day

those soulful eyes

his belly-rub entreaties

the playful growls and groans,

notes of pleasure

telling us we are loved
