This is here, now. (We all live right next door.)

 So, so weird, friends.

1. bink just texted me NOW:

“I went home instead of errands…to find ICE was in our hood. One neighbor filmed them cuffing, but then releasing, a woman at 33rd & Lyndale. 

“M and C went out with whistles on 34th, and saw ICE snatch a guy from the parking lot behind the apartment building there. 

Said he was a citizen. 

Neighbor Jim said ICE smashed the windows of a car that followed them between those locations but the people in the car okay. 🤬”

2. And another friend texted me:

“ This is absolutely horrible.You know that I know it:

 at around ten o'clock, one of the directors of our food shelf saw six white vans parked across from incarnation church. [Where I, Fresca, went to Mass yesterday]

So he walked up to the first van and said , ‘oh , are you here for our food shelf?’

 The guy was masked and said no , and dan walked away the vans set there a little while longer. And then they all left.

 It's crazy out there. You be careful.I know you bike and take the bus. I pray for you and all of your friend's safety during this horrific time. 

Love you my friend”
