Sending rest and blue skies and leaves that only fall into their designated areas (well-behaved leaves that never, ever clog city sewers or obfuscate citizens' carefully cultivated lawns). And also miraculous last-minute funding sources for your hard-working crew.
I would call that an anti-hero, though. Or maybe straight up hero. Can her name be Myrtle?

The House budget is a health care cataclysm for America.
15 million Americans will lose their health care. That's the total combined population of:
West Virginia

Alaska
North Dakota
South Dakota
Delaware
Rhode Island
Montana
Maine
2. $45 billion for adult and family detention. That would be enough to detain 100,000 people at a time, perhaps more. The New York Times reported in early April that ICE had already requested proposals from contractors who run detention facilities. Add another $3 billion for the Office of Refugee Resettlement to hold migrant children who arrive unaccompanied. How much is that combined $48 billion? Adjusted for inflation, it would be: Enough to cancel the debt of 1,240,814 student loan holders ( averaging $38,375 each). A generous estimate of what it would cost to end U.S. homelessness for 19 months ($30 billion per year). 1.6 times the global revenue of the entire music industry in 2024 ($29.6 billion in 2024 dollars). More than enough to build a new stadium for all 30 Major League Baseball teams (the Oakland As’ new stadium in Las Vegas is expected to cost $1.5 billion). More than Netflix’s forecast worldwide revenue from its 300 million-plus subscribers in 2025 ($43.5 to $44.5 billion).
This is how much Congress, in a bill the House passed this morning, proposes to spend _just to hold migrants in detention_ over the next 4 1/2 years.

Great speech
working on a raven cafe over here.
We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
