This makes me think about what's been going on in Minneapolis, honestly.

Like, I would guess not everyone who has protested ICE there thinks of themselves as leftists.

But I could see how, with a right-wing government in power and, you know, seeing people shot and killed by ICE agents, that some left-leaning people might be turning to the gym to at least feel more prepared.

You know, I've even seen some posts on social media that seem to reflect that feeling.

For one example, Instagram user Kate Alexander said in a recent post, training for my half marathon, red X emoji.

Training to run faster than ice, green checkmark emoji.

Brace yourselves and get ready for when the American Gestapo comes to your neighborhood next.

Marge, this was so enlightening.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Brittany.

My pleasure.
