Neighbors tell me 6 construction workers were detained in an ICE raid at a Kenner construction site on Loyola Drive. ICE has not verified any details with me just yet. This comes after the Trump Administration suggested a pause on ICE raids on work sites.

the people who lost their minds when #KlanSteve Scalise got his dick shot off are curiously quiet when a Democrat is assassinated. They lack a moral compass.

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.
