Last week ICE pulled guns outside of my 7 y.o school. Today, it was outside of my 10 y.o's school.
Repubs want us to fear adults in drag around kids, I'm afraid of ICE agents in masks.
You are warm. You are satisfied. You are safe.

My mother is crying from hunger. I tell her the sky is just "noisy," not deadly.
You can pass... or save a life.

are you seriously arguing that blowing up the boat, and the people in it, is ok because you aren't allowed to search boats in internationalwaters? be real now.

@legaleagle.tv just saw a youttube video about qualified immunity and how it won't protect ICE from being prosecuted for illegal criminal activity (kidnapping etc). how real is this? can states prosecute? or would it have to be federal? youtube.com/shorts/06jJW...

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared
They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him
Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility
They kidnapped a disabled child!
It’s pronounced cyclist.

Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?. She's smiling with every cell in her body. Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time. Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display. Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.
My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote:
"I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."
