This essay is an incredible dive into what is happening right now in the United States of America.

Just 3 days ago, I heard that democrats were holding January memorials and reminders of that harrowing day that I watched unfold on television. I’m guessing most of you did, too.

The White House released a statement about how January 6 protestors were peaceful, kind and respectful.

We can all view the astonishing video of an ICE agent murdering a 36 year old mother shooting her point blank in her car, and he walked away unscathed. But Kristi Noem, President Trump and the White House want to convince you that your eyes are deceiving you. That this woman was a “domestic terrorist” who weaponized her car, with a glove compartment crammed with stuffed animals, wanted to hurt, maim or kill a masked ICE agent surrounding her car like a swarm of rabid wolves.
