Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to K.C. Saunders as the County Administrator. He is, in fact, the Budget Director for Lorain County. The correction applies to Part 3, paragraph 3; Part 4, paragraph 1 & 4; and Part 5, paragraph 4 of the published story.
Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

Hi Monika. You have arrive in De, Willkimmen! Are you at your sister’s or at Paul’s or in Berlin? How long do you stay? I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and the photos, probably more than I enjoy taking them! This has been a physical challenge but so far I’ve had a very good time, except for losing the toenail. LG, Mike
I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

All true and as I told Herr Rambo, I had chicken for dinner. The hiker’s revenge!
Thank you TC; makes a lot of sense. Also to Going Downtown, that I just finished reading. Hard to tell which is worse: 40 million semi automatic rifles or 70 million voters for trump; the combination is truly worrying.
To the one thing making you different from Salvador Ramos was maybe that you had a father who was present enough to go shooting with you.
I think you're right about that; also that I was white and my mother - while indeed crazy - wasn't a drug addict.
If you liked the book, I hope you'll post a review on Amazon Europe.
Another random thought I had yesterday: what if these had been little white children? Would the response by law enforcement been different?
It is a question that should be asked. I live in such a racially homogenous community that I have NO experience in that milieu and cannot answer that question with any knowledge or accuracy. I suspect if those had been white parents and not Hispanic, there might have been more response, but I also suspect that the SWAT team is all gear and no go.
It's an essential question Ally as is the one you pose at the end about SWAT teams; everyone has one now and they are very impressively armed and vehicled (?) but one questions the effectiveness of such training as they might receive. One would hope that public safety personnel would be different but, in business, training is the first line to go when budgets get tight.
In my experience, you are 100% accurate. I went for 10 years with no refresher in Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVOC) but I qualified on the firearms range twice a year. We went for about 5 years with no "tactical" firearms training (shoot/no shoot, scenario based/building search) due to lack of training funds. I did far more building searches, confronted more shoot/don't shoot firearms scenarios than actually firing my handgun/shotgun/rifle (never). I drove my patrol car (sedan, jeep, SUV)…
Or the Congressional analog, "All talk and no action".
I just wanted to say that today is a big day for me as a got my first subscriber (which isn’t family)! It means the absolute world to me, and I will endeavor to keep my end of the bargain by producing my best work possible.
I would like to thank the person who took the time and showed enough interest in my work. It is so appreciated. I do know my work is a tad controversial but hey it’s my truth and it’s what I truly believe.
Thanks heaps
Susannah
PS: I hope all the ‘hands off’ protests go well today. I have a good feeling they will.
Warum spiritueller, tiefgründiger Sales nicht nur „geht“, sondern gebraucht wird:
Kunden sind keine Zahlen. Sie sind Menschen mit Ängsten, Sehnsüchten, Hoffnungen.
Entscheidungen sind selten rational. Sie entstehen im Bauch, im Herz, im Vertrauen.
Produkte sind austauschbar. Aber das Gefühl, das du im Gespräch vermittelst, ist einzigartig.
