Screencap of a Cincinnati.com article: Headline reads "We're scared." Latin American players on edge as ICE tactics intensify. Written by Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Screencap of a Cincinnati.com article. At the bottom, a picture of Eugenio Suarez at Spring Training. Text above the picture reads: GOODYEAR, AZ – As President Trump’s stepped-up immigration enforcement enters its second year, the violent images involving often-masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have left a very specific, very public group of Latin Americans in the U.S. bracing for what comes next. "This country gives you an opportunity to change your life," Cincinnati Reds star Eugenio Suarez said. "And now you feel pressure. Now you feel scared because you don't know what's going to happen if you're driving down the highway and somebody stops you. Even if you are a citizen. “I’m a resident here, but I’m still scared because you don’t know.”
Screen cap of a Cincinnnati.com article. Text reads: Suárez said one of his family members was among those who suddenly lost TPS protection. “He still works," Suárez said. "But he has to be careful." Suárez said he himself was scheduled to go through his U.S. citizenship processing in December until he was informed his application was canceled. His wife, who also is from Venezuela, had already completed hers, he said.
“They shut down everything, so I couldn’t have it. Because of the Venezuela thing,” he said. “It is what it is. I respect the decision.” What’s harder for him to accept are some of the enforcement methods in news reports and social media. Screencap of a Cincinnati.com article. Text reads: “They need to be more gentle. They need to be more kind,” Suárez said. “It’s people. It’s human (beings). Not everybody is bad people. You have to respect everybody ... The way they’ve been treating people is so hard. …. That’s why everybody is so scared.”
With alt text, for those who need it:
thinking about the hero of this game for Team Venezuela, Eugenio Suárez, and his comments about ICE’s effect on Latino baseball players just last week
Quite literally “we have always been at war with Iran.”
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Back to the grind. First time jogging 2 miles without stopping in a long while
As a SoCal raised kid, Minnesota was one of the most welcoming places I’ve ever experienced. Snowmobiles, sushi, Thai food, samosas, hot dish from the neighbors, it was so much more metropolitan than what I expected.
Yeah, it has its regressive parts, but the cities are the American dream.

Heyo, Chicago pals: Quick note that the executive vice president of the Bob Loquercio Auto Group is vociferously defending the murder of Alex Pretti.
The auto group has 16 locations in and around Chicago, listed below. Please take your business elsewhere.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick.

Already that time of year where I wished there was more time in the day to do the multiple jobs I have in running a company.

Oh…
Just making a better attempt at saving money and just burning it away 😅
The usual round of new year resolutions:
- exercise regularly
- pursue creative hobbies
- less eventing
- less traveling
- learn something new
- work more efficiently
Welp, hope it all works out 😅
This means a complete cut off from the Western backed financial system btw.
No bank account, credit cards, investments, retirement funds, limited travel, and other restrictions are the immediate impact.
The US does this regularly and it is essentially a civil death sentence.

Israel in Palestine, Russia in Ukraine, the US in the Southern Americas (one suspects we shall add to this list: China in Taiwan) - regional powers run roughshod over moral decency, or even just sane proportionality, in their dealings with those they consider within their sphere. Colonial arrogance.
