“Sanctuary citizens are making it very difficult to arrest the criminals. For instance, Chicago, very well-educated. They’ve been educated how to defy ICE, how to hide from ICE. I’ve seen many pamphlets from many NGOs: ‘Here’s how you escape ICE from arresting you’; ‘Here’s what you need to do.’ They call it ‘Know Your Rights.’ I call it ‘How to escape arrest.’”

Sometimes it's leaving things running, leaning back with your hands behind your head like yess haha, blossom my wonderful fictional land, before suddenly "the college is on fire? and the fire station is on the other side of the city..??! AND there's a power outage because the plant is too old?!.... fucking hell, how am I gonn do this"

Sometimes playing a video game involves pressing buttons on some kind of control device and sometimes it involves staring at a screen, arms folded, watching a group of fictional builders walk around a hole as you whisper "fucking hell, how am I gonn do this"

CRAB CRAB CRAB

This was my first time working with leather because I got a burning desire for a bag shaped like a horseshoe crab. It has two zippered compartments, and an adjustable strap so it can be worn at my side as a cross-body bag or on my back more like a backpack.
