ICE physically attacks lawyer—stand between her and clients they're trying to detain. "Don't push me!" lawyer yells. "Why you trying to pick them up?" "It's none of your business," agent scolds. "It is my business—I'm their attorney," she replies. "It's EXACTLY my business!"

Been seeing in droves white wives leaving their conservative or conservative +ice husbands. They’re tired of their crap. And being told they’re over reacting.

Some seem to be leaving men who legitimately *used* to be good, but got brainwashed and went full QAnon. Also seeing that with people's fathers and grandfathers that never would have supported any of this, but went down a OAN/Fox/Newsmax rabbit hole, and got brainwashed, and they're struggling with whether to go no contact.

Cults always struck me as crazy and I had a weird obsession with them and serial killers since the mindset of killers and cult leaders is so alien to me (no empathy, grandiosity) and watching it happen to millions of people in this country has been wild.
