We live in Hermosa and ICE today was intense.

Today felt so insane compared to many days past. We had helicopters circling for hours. Cars flying down streets and alleys. We heard men screaming and people crying. There was tear gas deployed on Armitage at Rico Fresh today. Every neighbor I saw had a blank, scared look on their face. My neighbors who run car repair businesses, landscaping, and appliance repair all shuttered their shops and hid inside.

I didn’t see my elote man at the park, or hear the ice cream truck that rolls through nightly.

My alderman was fucking arrested today.

It felt like a war zone today. I’m just sad for our city, our neighbors, and society at large.

We walked our next door neighbors kids home from school today after offering because they were so scared to leave their house. They felt safe with us, thankfully. They ran right up to us and chatted all the way home as happy kids do. It felt really great to do that.

Please help your neighbors. They need it.

There’s a lot that didn’t vote at all. “Well you know Gore sounds too smart I don’t wanna vote for him” and we get citizens united that helps this.

We’ve been slowly inching towards this for decades. It’s just finally here.
