"The border" is a fiction, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. It's a narrative. A story. & for the love of Gloria (AnzaldΓΊa), stop reinforcing & amplifying the bigoted, fear-mongering, white supremacist story Trump wants to tell. Or, if you can't, just stop.

I tend to vote yes on bonds like these (and did, except 2D). I’m sad for all the other projects that got leashed to the training facility.

Two toddlers dressed for Halloween: one as an angel in a white robe, gold sequin halo and golden wings; the other as a devil with a crimson cape and head cover with horns.

My mother used to make our costumes. She alternated years for who would get a new one, and it was always a treat to watch her at the sewing machine.

A kid in a mask with a big car behind them. The text reads: don't fkin drive. Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for young children. Drive slow. Don't drive on residential streets. Look for children crossing the street and between parked cars. Even better - don't drive on Halloween.
