Holy fuck holy fuck holy FUCK
ICE is going to my hometown next week. This little tiny town with a university with a MASSIVE international population.
I don't know what to do. I don't know what I can do since I'm unable to travel and get there anytime soon. Not that my presence would change anything but I'm terrified for my old sweet Mexican coworker who was still learning English. I don't have her contact information. I'm so scared for everyone there.
Past presidents didn't even remember to put that half of the state on a map! Look out folks in the U.P. (upper peninsula of Michigan) ICE is coming and it's not the slippery kind on the road. They are planning to show up during Winter Carnival where eveyone comes out to enjoy the snow sculptures.
I got this information from my mother who still lives there who heard it from her neighbor who is an immigrant from Jordan. My mother is worried ICE will take their 5 year old special needs son and use him as bait like they have with other children.

From Marvel Team-Up #64, December 1977. Corner box Spider-Man first appeared MTU #56, unsure of artist; Misty Knight: probably John Byrne (?) pencils & inks.
^ Credits are my speculation, based on related credits from Grand Comics Database--Byrne did MTU 64's interior story, for instance (also thanks to @ls78ftw2thaend for the Byrne suggestion!)
(Corner box Spidey looks closest to work of Dave Cockrum & Al Milgrom to me--their Spidey in MTU 59 cover art, for instance. That head first appeared on MTU 56 though and it doesn't clearly look like the work of the interior or cover artists on that issue to me so I dunno. 'p')
Fellow This Kingdom reader spotted!! I've been reading and rereading it to appreciate plot twists and foreshadowings all week now.
Maggie is great, isn’t she?
Am I the only one who thinks that Agatha All Along episode 3 was just a very high stakes escape room?

Marvel Discourse/Unpopular Opinion
Okay I need to know if I'm crazy.
Am I the only person who thinks Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the only truly outstanding Marvel TV show?
Like, I watched WandaVision. It was fine. It had its moments. Definitely second on my list.
I watched What If...? It was good, and there were standout episodes, but nothing crazy special as a whole. Third on my list.
I watched Loki. It was...not fine, which made me angry, because I love Loki and I love Tom Hiddleston, but oh well I guess. This one actually used to be last on my list, but then...
I started Hawkeye, and I am not a fan. Which is very disappointing, because Hawkeye has always been one of my favorite Marvel superheroes, and I am not enjoying it. At all.
Am I crazy?? Is there something wrong with me?? Because every time people have to pick their favorite Marvel TV show, NOBODY says FATWS, and that's insane to me, because I personally feel like it's the only one that's actually REALLY FREAKING GOOD!!
Look, I am a Marvel fan through and through, and I am going to continue watching these TV shows and movies and whatever else comes out because I love the franchise and I love the characters. But some of these TV shows and plot lines are really making it hard for me to stay invested... (Side note: I also did not like Black Widow, although I absolutely loved Shang-Chi.)
I just need Spider-Man: No Way Home to come out. I used to be really apprehensive about the direction they were planning to take that, but after seeing the new trailer and everything, I really am SUPER excited!! I hope it lives up to my expectations.
Anyways. Vent over. This isn't meant to offend anyone, and if you're gonna be mean about it or whatever, just...please don't. I do love Marvel--I'm just not overly impressed with the majority of their Phase 4 at the moment. But maybe that'll change. Like I said, I'm not gonna give up on them. I just...wish their current money-making expeditions were a little more thought-out...
