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.
I’m glad you’re not getting hit as hard as expected. All that ice will be bad enough. Yes, I read that news from Minnesota and my day came to a grinding halt.
I feel like we've already seen the end of democracy.
It's getting worse and worse, alright.
I think it's sad and pathetic that we have a group called ICE killing our own citizens and making communities live in fear. I have never thought I'd see this in our country. They are nothing but bigoted losers, with an ax to grind because they are such sorrow creatures. And if they aren't doing anything wrong or fearful for what they're doing, then WHY are they hiding behind masks??? Cowards!
Meanwhile, we are awaiting the snowstorm to arrive in the witching hours here right into Monday.
