I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

in my culture and YA lit class, we talked a lot about how people and their government are not the same

there are good people everywhere, under every government, they outnumber the bad ones

but power tends toward asymmetry

a hallmark of YA is it asks big questions & lets you have big conversations

Warren, Markey call for probe into β€˜escalating aggression’ by federal agents in immigration raids - The Boston Globe The Massachusetts senators called for the investigation in a letter sent Wednesday to the US Department of Homeland Security.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer.

I’m calling for an independent investigation right now β€” this abuse of power must end.

Senator Mike Lee posts prayers when a Republican has an allergic reaction but posts jokes when a Democrat is murdered in their home.

He’s going to Hell.

David Archuleta’s mom left the LDS Church after her son came out. These parents stayed, but not without difficulty. David Archuleta’s mom and other LDS parents lay out why they no longer believe in a heaven that excludes their queer children.

David Archuleta, who performs at this weekend’s Utah Pride Festival, is far from the only Latter-day Saint to come out as queer. His mom and other LDS parents explained why they no longer believe in a heaven that excludes their queer children.

Vice President Harris and Second Gentleman Emhoff stand with staff members of DC Pride in June 2022.

Pride is a celebration. Pride is also a powerful statement about courage, community, and determination.

We honor the trailblazers who came before us, join arms with those leading the fight for equality today, and empower the next generation to live boldly, freely, and with joy.

2 elderly women wearing head shawls were just attacked in the Edgemont third ward’s back parking lot. My 9 year old witnessed the assailants running away laughing. They called the police; we are also going to call in a report.

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

I’m under a heavy blanket,
lying near a bank of windows with rain and roses looking in on me,
with the smell of old paper, wood, and leather through a nearby alcove.
There’s coffee somewhere, and chatter drifting down the long hall. It lulls me so well, this soft quiet.
