Look, my old stash of pogs and slammers!

Kinda resembles crypto currency...don't they?? Am I rich? Do these make me a billionaire? Do I have extra book bucks?? 😂

LOL Collected these when I was growing up in the 1990s.

I made this quickly-crafted bookmark today 🦇💝...decorative tape, paper, and marker 🪄🔖😉.

This character qoute defines how my mom and I feel right now.

We're frightened FOR our county, state, & country. We are terrified FOR wildlife and Mother Nature. We are horrified FOR girls, Children, and women. We fear FOR our Californians, both born and immigrant. We are worried FOR our Indigenous Americans being mistakenly targeted by ICE.

👇

AnnCrystal But we ourselves are not frightened, we are infuriated about what is happening.

Every morning and evening we turn to our Catholic God. We relinquish to Him our anger and feel like He gifts us Hope in return.

We believe that this turns our fury into fuel.

My mom has her outlets, and Litsy has become mine.

Thank you Littens for your patience with my posts. I will always be thankful that I was met with such kindness and understanding here 😘📚💝

From NBC Los Angeles

...she saw her sister being thrown to the ground before being arrested and forced into an unmarked car by unidentified officers near 9th and Main Street in downtown Los Angeles.

“We dropped off my sister to go to work like we always do, all of a sudden, my mom in the rearview mirror she saw how a man went on top of her. Basically, dropped her on the floor and started putting her in handcuffs and trying to arrest her,“ ...

AnnCrystal This American girl is 4'10, her kidnappers were said to be large men who stood around 6'...they came for her like masked thugs and kidnapped her...

But they are accusing this woman of assault!!

Update
Andrea Velez was released at 6 p.m. on June 26, 2025 on a $5,000 bond.

The Department of Homeland Security said Velez “forcefully obstructed an ICE officer,“ and is charged with assaulting a federal officer.“

A charge that Velez and witnesses says is untrue.

Velez's lawyer is filing lawsuit in defense of his client.

Eggbeater Thanks for the update. I'm glad she is back with her family now. If there was any justice, she'd become rich. 3d
AnnCrystal @Eggbeater True 👏🏼🐻✊🏼 i believe that she just may be the one who California needs to help us stop this insanity. In History, there always seems one (usually unexpectedly) who becomes the face in the fight against injustice. ✊🏼🐻✌🏼💝. 3d

Although this is based on a real life event, I didn't give real life details...I wanted to capture the sum of the scene.

I've caught the news coverage twice, and believe it was a Jacaranda that the poor woman held onto.

If a Jacaranda, it's strangely symbolic. Legend has said that this tree was blessed by a Goddess.

This Legend is in the next comment.

Then following the legend, there is an All Creator prayer. Creators Ancient and modern.

👇

AnnCrystal From the Webs

One Amazonian Legend tells about a beautiful bird named Mitu who landed on a jacaranda tree, carrying a lovely Goddess of the moon. She came to live among villagers and share Her knowledge and ethics.

When ready to leave, She adorned the Jacaranda with beautiful blooms so that every time the tree blooms, Her teachings will be remembered. She than returned to the sky worlds to be with Her soul mate, the Son of the Sun.

AnnCrystal Let us Pray to the Creators of all people, asking the Creators to protect the Freedom of The United States Of America and the Rights and the Liberty of All Citizens of this Great Nation.

For the Nations of the World, that America will help them to Achieve Or Maintain Peace, Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity.

For the United States President, that he/she will be Guided to Act Wisely for the Common Good.
4d
AnnCrystal For those Elected to Serve Us, that they will Respect Our Liberties and Defend the Rights of the Unborn, the Aged, the Poor, and Racial Minorities.

Creators of all people, may you hear our cries and Grant these Prayers we make for Our Beloved Nation.

Prayers and Good Vibes Please for the expedite of a new California law that would:

Outlaw bounty hunters and citizens from joining in on immigration sweeps.

Only permit medical masks to protect health. Outlaw other masks on agents.

Require that agents identify their branch, and that they are indeed U.S. agents.

I do not know if this law requires vehicles to be marked.

Or if it protects Americans from being harassed/arrested for filming.

👇

AnnCrystal Photo from Pico Rivera Walmart, where a young American man was arrested for inquiring about his coworker who was detained. Agents claimed the kid punched an agent, security cameras proved that to be a lie.

My mom & I have NOT been stopped by agents. We do have a safety plan. We remain local. We've faced racist, but no agents yet 🙏🏼🐻.

I do believe there has been photos taken of us, not sure if there is a bounty app????

We are born Americans!

AnnCrystal Thank You 🫂@Deblovestoread my mom and I are both born Americans, but these masked hoodlums don't seem to care when they encounter brown skins.

In Pasadena CA they jumped out of an unmarked car with guns drawn to ask a brown-skin senior citizen for his papers. Racial profiling!

It has also been reported that they may be buying GPS information to find targets!

And the way they treat young girls 🤬.

This is insanity 😢!

✊🏼🐻🙏🏼😘💝.

AmyG Horrifying. I have no words for people abducted by paid bounty hunters….and their families who are helpless. Welcome to fascism. I never thought I‘d see this here. (edited) 5d
AnnCrystal @Amiable I believed most of this hatred was history...we must have Hope 🫂✊🏼🐻🙏🏼😘💝. 5d
AnnCrystal @AmyG this American land has known this kind of hatred. They used to hunt my American Indigenous ancestors...to force on reservations, or boarding schools, or get paid for each kill of men, women, and children, etc. It is said that Hitler was stirred by what was done to Natives here.

Along the U.S./Mexican Border, they hung Mexicans just for being Mexican.

This hatred, I knew it still lived, I just hadn't realized by how much 😢🫂✊🏼🐻🙏🏼😘💝
(edited) 5d
AnnCrystal P.s. there were also the Mexican sweeps during the great depression, and “operation wetback“ in the 1950s. 5d
AmyG @AnnCrystal Oh, I know. My in-laws escaped Germany before WWII, my mother-in-law on the last boat out of the country. We don‘t learn anything as human beings. Seeing it first hand, as opposed to “knowing” it…it‘s just soul crushing. And yes….you know it exists, just not how much. 😢 5d
AnnCrystal @AmyG 🫂 I'm so thankful your in-laws escaped those horrors 🙏💝💝💝. And you're absolutely correct, living this is feeling it firsthand. I'm hopeful. We need to hold on to hope that goodness and love will brighten this darkness 🐻🙏🦅✌🏼💝💝💝. (edited) 5d

AnnCrystal @kspenmoll I know, at least these lands were protected for the wildlife for the natural world.

“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.“ — Seneca

AnnCrystal @IriDas the question is, who is going to buy these lands and what will be their plans.

Perhaps Native America should sue to try to regain these lands.

✊🏼🐻🙏🏼💝.
