Round cake with rainbow frosting and sprinkles, white candies studded on top.
Partner off on a prison-to-prison driving tour of southern Arizona to try to help a friend of a friend who was picked up by Homeland Security, me unexpectedly home with 8yo. We made a cake. Partner found friendβs friend and got to see him. Weird day.

I havenβt seen this on here but do any immigration lawyers know if itβs helpful for many people to call a detention facility and ask after someone in ICE custody, to let them know theyβre on the radar (ala Amnesty International)? If so I might post info for friends to start callingβ¦ #ICE.

Majestic sea lion marches to the water. Human bathers in the distance.
Group of sea lions waking up.

Epic California beach adventure early this morning hanging out with the sea lions, watching them surf, just vibing. So so good.
