It's beginning to look like our winter storm isn't going to be as bad here as we initially feared. We're still expected to get up to a quarter inch of ice, but the worst of the storm will happen west and north of here. We're really well prepared no matter what. I even went out and bought a power bank for our phones in case we lose power. It's supposed to give us both two full charges, so that's peace of mind.
Here's what's NOT peace of mind: I just read the breaking news of another man shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota. I saw a video of the shooting and it looked like seven officers were beating a man (already on the ground) and one of them backed up and shot him dead on the spot.
I feel physically ill.
I wrote the first paragraph, paused and looked at the news, and saw what happened. I'd intended to write more about our storm prep, but I no longer have the heart for it. I actually feel like I might throw up.
This madness must stop. We simply can't go on like this.

I'm sick to my stomach. I can't believe this. Military beating a man until he is flat on the ground, pulling out guns and shooting him ten times. I will never get this video out of my head. Who can stop it? I am begging.
