I never intended to transracially adopt. I have *feelings* about the issues there. The option was stay here or most likely end up in another yt home where hair is called “unmanageable” & where a learning disability is written off as “just how they are.”
I wasn’t willing to take the chance.

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald… you’ve have made America sign up with Russia... At one point, that would have been considered the act of a traitor. How do you defend this betrayal of your allies to the American people? If you think Canada is going to break right now, you’re in for a big shock.

Zelenskyy: "When they, for example say that Ukraine is almost destroyed, that our soldiers run away, that they are not heroes, that the president is a dictator, what is the reaction? It's not about me. The reaction is, where is the friendship between Ukraine and the US?"

I Love to read history. Especially American Civil War. I like to collect old books.
I love the Grateful Dead, my family, my dog, & democracy. Not necessarily in that order. I read banned books, I dislike the color orange & I believe that America needs public schools. ☮️🩷
