So I had a dental appointment cancellation yesterday [View all]

because in the somewhat impoverished area in which i practice on Wednesdays, which possesses a heavily Hispanic population, we received a phone call from a child’s mom telling us that ICE was present around the school and she did not send her child to school nor does she wish to leave the house.

THIS…is “who we are” now. And I don’t want to hear the phrase “This isn’t who we are” ever again. This is what we are and are increasingly becoming very very quickly.

Oh and one more thing: I was speaking with a good friend who has excellent politics as we would say here, and it was right after the Minneapolis shooting of Ms. Good. I exclaimed to him, “DID YOU FUCKING SEE THAT HORROR?” To which he replied, “No, I can’t watch stuff like that.” And then he added, “But she DID try to hit him with her car.” Not a question, a statement.

To which I replied, “No she did NOT. And, if you had watched it, you’d know that they’re lying through their teeth AS ALWAYS.” His follow-up: “Oh, ok.”

I rest my case. We have arrived when even the good guys are in the can.
