I have NEVER votes for, supported, or approved of THAT ORANGE MAN. I rarely post, and have always believed that he is an existential threat to democracy. I hope my Canadian friends see this and understand that MOST of us did not vote for, and do not support this administration. #cascadia

I hope everyone understands that Vance will be President, probably sooner rather than later

but, what about the children that are supported by the workers? Who is going to help them?

"La Migra" is a clear and present danger IMO. Unleashed and out of control. I am white and I live with black brown and native as my neighbors. My white family has many people married in from many different countries for all our betterment. My son has an Abuela, and a Granny

If you think it is "only" against "illegal' migrants, think again. Today it is if you have brown skin, but tomorrow?
I wish for a local network of like minded people who can stand at our schools and churches to be peaceful protesters and take **LOTS OF PHOTOS**.
They can not take us all.

My friends, I am shocked and repulsed by this action, which is/has been repeated in our country. One does wonder if we, here locally, may be targeted because we are a "blue state".
What can we do to protect our communities children and their families? 4/

and then challenging the parents about their status. The teacher called her mom and said "I don't know what to do. The children want to go to their parents but I was afraid to let them go." 3/

She said ICE came to the school and waited for the children to come out to their parents, waiting to pick up their children. (I have confirmed from other sources that this happened). ICE, it seemed, was waiting for these children to come to the cars with the intent of identifying the parents 2/

From Western Washington: So, my mom who is not inclined to hyperbole, told me tonight that her friend from church has a daughter who is a teacher in Aberdeen, and related an incident from earlier this week. 1/

my friends, this is both the love commitment and the obligation, to help them as much as we can. To return that love and trust, and comfort as best we can. They are not our children, they are a part of us, and deserve our love, care, tears and grace. God bless all pets

And THAT my friends is the contract that we have with our dogs.
In this season, at this time, many of us are mourning the loss of family. We cannot give them the grace of a good death on their terms. But, with our dogs, we can, and yes it is hard. Hold their paws, and love them

whatever the moment is. Your dog cannot tell you in words how they feel or what they need, but you know because you are bonded. It is NEVER just a dog. And when they are injured, or ill, you return the obligations of the bond by crawling through glass if need be to help them.

Some say that "your dog is just your child". Your dog is NOT your child. Children grow up and move on. Your dog stays with you always. Your dog knows everything you do and becomes that "second self". Your dog knows when you are sick, or scared, or happy and they are all in

for sure! master class

wonderful story that made me look at things in a new way, as all the best fiction does😍

an amusing book and entertaining concept

all good suggestions for me to reread. thank you

my fellow readers, please give me new recommendations on good SFF space opera. I like well thought out universes, especially with female leads (although not required. I am desperate to find a new world to immerse myself in!

again trite in modern terms, but I was a young woman (prehistory almost) who had just found SFF

Saberhagen was great! As a young woman I was consumed by his universe

yes, this was a game changer for me for sure when I first read it

who amongst my literate friends likes the video "Lion in Winter"? Please post comments!

not the original cover but it will do.

I have, and found them too dark for my taste (at that time). Perhaps I should revisit them

I had forgotten about this series and now I go to read it again

green man series is well written

this was very good, the sequels not so much
