Imagine being five years old, and your mom sets a big bucket of primary colored tiny blocks in front of you.
No instructions. No words.
Just looks at you with, "have at it kid," and walks off.
This is the 80s. You do the next logical thing...

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents pulled guns on an unarmed U.S. citizen in a small Minnesota town… then had to be stopped by the local police chief.
This happened in St. Peter, Minnesota. A quiet southern Minnesota town
A local woman was alone in her car, observing and recording ICE activity in her community. She is doing something that is fully protected under the First Amendment… observing and documenting federal agents in public.
ICE notices her watching.
Three federal vehicles begin chasing her, and try to force her to pull over.
They eventually box her car in and three agents jump out of the vehicle in front of her… with their guns drawn… screaming at her to get out of the car.
She refuses, and states her rights.
The agents open her car door anyway, drag her out, force her to the ground, and handcuff her.
This is all happening while she is unarmed, and alone on a country road.
She suffers cuts, scrapes, and bruises as they pin her down.
Her husband then arrives and starts recording. He tells them they don’t have a warrant and cannot search her car. An ICE agent dismisses him outright and says, “I’m not getting into the legality of everything.”
Read that again.
A federal agent, pointing guns at civilians, openly says they are not concerned with legality.
ICE puts this woman into their vehicle and starts driving her toward the Twin Cities, toward a federal detention facility… even though she is a U.S. citizen.
About twenty minutes into the drive, they suddenly turn around after getting a call from a supervisor.
The St. Peter police chief stepped in.
After her husband contacted an attorney and spoke with the police chief, the chief identified the vehicle ICE was using, took custody of the woman, and personally drove her home.
ICE turned her over to local police because what they were doing was so clearly wrong.
This is what is happening in America.
A small-town police chief had to intervene to stop federal agents from disappearing an unarmed woman for observing them.
If ICE feels comfortable pulling guns on unarmed citizens in small towns, chasing them, throwing them to the ground, and ignoring the law entirely, then no town is too small and no one is safe from ICE brutality.
This is what it looks like when federal agents think they’re above the Constitution.
I’ll put it like this - effortless talent is overlooked. It’s savant level talent, which makes it effortless. Or appear effortless. Ruffalo is so natural…so human…like @kidman and @MattDamon it’s so familiar it feels so real…and that’s when talent starts to run undetected.
Very proud of my client Dr. Ellyn Bader, world renowned psychotherapist and one of the founders of "couples therapy." She is again, innovating how it's done in our modernized world (and 4+ decades of couples therapy).
One thing that could help your custoners @panerabread is installing anti-humidity and air fileration systems so a quick meeting, breakfast, or just to go order doesn't make you smell for the rest of the day. 👃 #customerexperience#bakery
Being a mother who has a kid with seizures and and who tells stories for a living is sort of an intense collision of worlds some days.

Actual footage of me thinking if I created super boring (but well produced) content specifically for my #LinkedIn profile...if it would get low-key boosted behind-the-scenes because of the "algorithm." I bet my engagement would pick up too. 🤔
