Since a human hair is 80,000 to 100,000 nm in diameter I think I win. Tardigrades are tiny.

New Jersey Proposes Anti-ICE Act with a Secretly Vulgar Name
Lawmakers in the state of New Jersey have recently proposed a new act aimed at protecting immigrant communities, and the name of it is cryptically vulgar.
The new act, A4446, plans to “fight unlawful conduct and keep individuals and communities empowered.” Online sleuths quickly realized that taking the first letter of each word of that pledge spells out the acronym “F–-K ICE.”
Already reported in another thread, but worthwhile repeating here.
A U.S. veteran adopted an orphan from Iran. Decades later, ICE is trying to deport her.

I’m not seeing anything in that story involving people who voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces party.
Isn’t that fine in this thread?
You’re right, I was mentally in the wrong thread.
