Oct 7

I briefly considered joining in the protests in Chicago, but I don't dare.

I've seen how those ICEholes like to slam people to the ground, and I'm deathly afraid of what they might do to me. I'm a 75 year old woman with osteoporosis, and I don't think these old bones could take that. I'll be at the protest in my town on 10/18, but I'm not going anywhere ICE is, at least for the time being..
