I literally screamed “NO!” Such a loss!

ICE is hardly essential. It was created as part of the Homeland Security Act, which was signed into law in 2002 by George W. Bush, who by the way, deserves to die in prison for war crimes. This country can and should do away with ICE. Fuck Bush’s legacy and fuck Trump. Thank you.

You cannot possibly imagine how never I am listening to any talk of “law and order” from people who line up behind a racist, rapist career criminal who may or may not be a pedophile. (I’m thinking ‘may.’ Release the files.)

Donald Trump has sexually assaulted over two dozen people. Immigrating “illegally” will never be anywhere near as morally foul a crime as what this fucker has gotten away with. End ICE. And make racists afraid again.

It’s way past time to talk about prison for a lot of people, honestly.

It’s not enough to abolish ICE. It is time to talk about prison for all of them.

And now only McDonald’s can do what needs to be done.

This action against Venezuela, no matter what you think of Maduro, is immoral and illegal.

My uncle. A monument in my life, a constant, a lifesaver. Like having a movie star in the family, a spotlight of charisma and brilliance and integrity. A far greater man than I could ever be, but he gave me the blueprint to strive for. I won’t ever quit trying. Love you forever Uncle J. Thank you. 🖤

Ralphie must have known how broken my heart is because he came over and sat on my lap, the way he did back when he was a puppy, until I smiled again. People talk about God’s love and most of them are goddamn liars, but you can see it sometimes in your best friend’s eyes. 🐶
